About Me

Hi, I’m Christie Costello, founder of Toastable Travel + Events, where we design memory-making vacations that prioritize connection, community, and celebration. I specialize in creating customized travel experiences, taking the stress off your plate so you can focus on what matters most: being fully present with your loved ones.

Travel is more than just seeing the world; it’s about forging connections—with people, places, and cultures. Whether it’s an Alaska bucket list trip, a private culinary tour through Italy, or a celebration with friends in an exotic destination, I approach every journey as if it were my own. My goal is simple: to make your dream trip not only seamless but deeply meaningful.

My expertise shines in creating tailored itineraries, whether you’re exploring ancient ruins, savoring a Tuscan wine, or witnessing the breathtaking glaciers of Alaska. With years of experience planning journeys for individuals, families, and affinity groups, I pride myself on offering thoughtful, personalized service. For me, no detail is too small when it comes to your once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Toastable Travel + Events operates on the belief that "you can't toast alone." Even solo travelers find their experiences enriched through connection, whether it’s with locals, fellow adventurers, or the environment itself. Let’s raise a glass to your next adventure together!

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!!
