About Me

“Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

-Mark Twain

 

My love for travel began at an early age. My dad would always say "the world is a big place, don't stay in one spot." He also said, "business makes the world go round"... So I did the University thing, but not before a trip to Europe. I made it 1 year in what they call the real world and my bag was packed. Taking a year to back pack and work my way around Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia and Australia. I came back to Edmonton for a boy (and now husband) and got back into the world of business. Saving pennies, and asking for the occasional credit card limit increase, I had managed to visit 13 countries by the age of 30. Now I have 2 children. Our son went on his 1st plane ride at 1 month old and we haven't stopped bringing our kids on our travels since!!

Finally! - Here is where the quote from Mark Twain I began this bio with comes in...Traveling and experiencing new cultures, meeting new people, or spending a relaxing day on white sandy, turquoise watered beach is my passion. So, about 3 years ago, (still not having won the lotto jackpot) needing to provide for my family, but no longer satisfied in the corporate world, I was presented with the amazing opportunity of becoming a travel agent! I haven't looked back!!

Enjoying working with people, assisting them in finding their dream vacation, or helping them plan their destination wedding, group trip, family vacation, etc. - all the while living vicariously through them - I truly have not spent a day working since!!In addition to being passionate about travel, I am a true believer in good old fashion customer service! It truly is my pleasure to assist you with ALL your travel needs. The world is a big place, and everyday offers an opportunity to learn or experience something new. I am committed to earning your trust and ultimately your travel business.

I am an AMResorts Master Agent, and I am continuously updating and upgrading my destination and accommodation knowledge to be a certified specialist with the most reputable resorts.

The best travel service ever!
Reviewed By Amit - Edmonton | Traveled to Los Cabos ~ Baja California Sur ~ Mexico
Came across Christie through her Facebook page. Since the day one Christie made sure all our family vacations requirements are taken care. Traveling with kids can be always hectic, Christie made sure we go through a smooth process and she made everything possible for us. From the day one of booking until our return back home, Christie was next to us to address all our needs. It’s a pleasure working with her and looking forward to work with her in the future! Thank you Christe!! You’re Awesome!!

Christie was wonderful to work with!!! I made a mistake on my daughter's name and Sunwing wanted to charge $100 to correct the error. Christie took the time to ensure my error was corrected at no charge. She was amazing!!!

Wedding in Cuba
Reviewed By Kasia - Edmonton | Traveled to Varadero ~ Cuba ~ Caribbean
We celebrated our wedding in Cuba. We had 42 guests, and over half of them were from Europe! Christie was able to suggest and ultimately coordinate everyone’s arrival! It was no small feat as of course English is very limited to our family in Europe. She even worked with the wedding planner at the resort on our behalf and we were so very pleased with how easy she made the process for us. We were literally able to sit back and enjoy! We don’t think we could have found a better travel agent - Christie truly cared about our family and friends & shared in our excitement. Very knowledgeable and fun to work with! We miss her now that we are back and all the planning is over!! I guess that means we need to plan our next trip! We thank you, our family thanks you for everything you did for us!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
