Hi, I’m Christine Phillips
I’ve been the de facto travel planner for friends and family for years, and I’ve racked up more than 20 passport stamps in the process. Now I’ve traded in a long career in public administration for meticulous travel design for curious travelers like you.
My Story
I’ve always loved to travel, but you can say my story really began when I planned my husband and I’s honeymoon to Paris. My husband had never been out of the country before. He’s a “rah, rah America!” guy and I just wasn’t sure if he could adapt to the stereotypically snooty French way. Well, I was wrong—he loved France (and now I’d say he’s a bougier traveler than even I am!). With my planning, he discovered just how wonderful travel can be. Now, we make it our mission to take one big trip together each year—and another annual trip with our two pre-teen daughters—going just a bit off the beaten path to discover the underrated delights each destination has to offer.
My big goal is to make travel feel possible for everyone, even if you have doubts holding you back. I was born and raised in Liberia, and my husband is African American, but we don’t stick to places where people will just look like us. We were nervous at first, but now we’ve had dinner with a native bedouin in a cave in Jordan, hot air ballooned across Cappadocia, Turkey, and ziplined through the trees in Costa Rica—and we’ve been warmly welcomed every time.
The World is Your Oyster
Whether it's the color of your skin, the intimidating language barrier, or simply your inexperience with embracing an immersive type of travel, I’m here to tell you: you CAN do it. Because I’m here to help every step of the way.
As your travel advisor, I take a deeply personal approach to uncovering what you want to get out of your vacation experience, your comfort levels, and how far you’re willing to stretch them to enjoy “wow” moments of discovery. Then I use my industry connections and keen attention to detail to craft an escape that’s equal parts pampering and profound.
