About Me

Husband & I skiing at Holiday Valley, NY

As the proud Owner of Vacation Architect and an ASTA Verified Travel Advisor, my passion for travel is deeply rooted in family tradition—passed down from my adventurous grandparents, who explored 48 states with a dairy farm and 12 kids in tow. Their legacy inspired my own journey, and for the past six years, I’ve been helping others experience the joy of travel—especially those who may not have always seen themselves as travelers or known where to begin.

As a WorldVia Monarch Agency Owner with dozens of destination and supplier certifications, I’ve traveled to over 30 countries and sailed on more than 20 ocean cruises, including unforgettable adventures in the Caribbean, Europe, and Alaska. I specialize in Alaska cruises, European river cruises, and custom travel throughout Europe and the UK. Whether it’s navigating the Danube or Seine, experiencing fjords and wildlife in Alaska, or planning a fully personalized itinerary through Italy, Greece, or the British Isles—I build journeys that match each traveler’s style, pace, and passions.

As a travel advisor with deep expertise in Europe and the UK, I craft fully individualized travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary. From wine tasting in the Wachau Valley and castle-hopping in Scotland to discovering historic cities and hidden villages, I help my clients experience each destination through immersive, tailor-made itineraries.

With a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and a specialization in Architecture from the University of Cincinnati, I bring a unique perspective to every itinerary—helping clients connect with the cultural and architectural richness that makes travel so meaningful. Whether it's a grand cathedral, a medieval town, or a centuries-old ruin, I ensure that every moment tells a story.

With decades of personal travel experience—including snow skiing adventures across North America, riverboat cruises, and land-based exploration—I combine firsthand knowledge with professional insight to create seamless, enriching journeys. No matter the destination, I’m committed to building your travel adventures with care, creativity, and the expertise that transforms trips into unforgettable experiences.

Ski Vacations

Over thirty years ago my fun-loving uncle took my family for our first ski trip. I was 12. And klutzy. It was hard, but by the end of the day I was a skier for life! 

As a fellow downhill skier, I'm able to not only plan lodging, but I know how to complete the details of your trip. From lift tickets, ski rentals and ski schools to getting that ski-out condo on the perfect slope. You know...the one that you can actually ski down. Maybe that is a black diamond for your guy's group or a green circle for your family that are still tentative downhillers. And after the slopes, I know how important the hot tub and libations can be.

Trust in the details that Vacation Architect LLC can build for you.

Great support during a difficult time
Reviewed By Penny - Dayton, OH | Traveled to Los Angeles ~ California ~ USA
Christina was personable and she cared about what we wanted to do on our vacation. She was very knowledgeable and attentive.

Christina booked our flights, our hotel and a cruise to Mexico on Carnival Cruise Line for Spring Break 2020.

Since our trip was during the beginning of the COVID Pandemic in the US, Christina did an amazing job keeping us informed of changing plans and helping us to address the unique situation we found ourselves in. We were scheduled to sail on March 14, only every cruise sailing from the US was cancelled the night before. Christina helped us with changing flights and all the mess that happened during that time. Best support from a travel agent ever!

The travel company did a great job meeting our needs. The agent was responsive to what we needed. During the trip there was a minor issue and the agent took care of it immediately and did not allow it to negatively affect our trip. Would definitely recommend and will use for future travels.

Amazing Vacation
Reviewed By The Navarro's - Jacksonville, FL | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
I have always booked our own travel plans. We had a 20th anniversary coming soon that I knew would be a difficult trip to plan in this day and times. A decision was made to get a travel agent. I contacted Christina and described a bit of what we would like just to see what she would come up with. WOW, she contacted me, asked questions that would be relevant to location, wants and needs and sent me three itineraries to get our thoughts. All three itineraries were actually perfect so no other inquiries were needed and it took us days to decide which one would be more perfect than the other. Christina not only sends you proposals but she adds personal knowledge to help each traveler’s questions that may arise. Our trip was perfect and Christina did the perfect planning for us. There is no doubt that everyone will benefit by using Vacation Architect.
