Making your travelling easier
Reviewed By Igreco - Buenos Aires, Argentina | Traveled to Chile ~ South America
I live in Argentina and travel in to field in Chile. Christie coordinates my travel from the States. I always have the best accomodation (and car rentals!!!) at the best rates with her. Its amazing how she also records my tastes to inform folowing travelling. That is her speciality, the work is personalized and the vibe is always good, no matter if its late, holyday or weekend. Also always responsive to urgent emerging issues (that are always there) . Makes my life easier and releases energy to do my work.

In such good hands for the trip of a lifetime!!
Reviewed By Jenny - Upland, CA | Traveled to Mexico
We have had such great experiences working with Globe Sage and Christie on our travel plans! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, thorough, professional, prompt, and skilled at getting us a great deal that fits within our budget every time. I especially appreciate how she goes the extra mile to take into consideration our family’s unique needs and all the things she has learned about how we like to travel. On our last cruise, we were delighted by the personal touches of a welcome card and sparkling cider waiting for us in our staterooms. I trust and value her expertise and long track record of global travel. Christie is the best!!

    The Costellos on Our Impromptu Adventure

    The Beauty of a Trip Unplanned

    In 2017, I thought I had the perfect vacation lined up. Chris and I had been planning for over a year to watch the total solar eclipse from a friend’s retreat house, smack in the path of totality. Flights? Booked. Goggles? Packed. Anticipation? Sky-high. Then, two days before departure, we got a call: there was a staffing emergency...

    Why I Love to Travel

    Curiosity For as long as I can remember, I have always loved to travel. I’m not sure that I could pinpoint exactly when the travel bug bit me, but I know I was very young and moldable. Perhaps it is my curious spirit. I long to understand others and myself. I have always been someone who strives to learn and grow. I value...
