Meet Christina Gales
Personalized Travel Planning with Purpose, Heart, and Detail
A Travel Experience Unlike Any Other
Planning the perfect vacation isn’t just about where you go—it’s about how you feel when you’re there.
I founded Christina Gales Travel to help busy, discerning travelers turn their dream getaways into seamless, unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re craving a romantic escape along the Amalfi Coast, a milestone cruise through Europe, or a perfectly planned family adventure, I bring insider access, personalized attention, and concierge-level service to every itinerary.
Let me handle the logistics, details, and surprises—so all you have to do is enjoy the journey.
Why I Do What I Do
Because I truly believe your time is one of your most precious resources, and your travel vision holds the key to experiences that can refresh your spirit and broaden your horizons. You don't just deserve a trip that looks good in photos; you deserve one that feels incredible, from the moment you start planning until long after you've returned home.
This is why I pour my energy into personalized travel planning. When we work together, you're not just another booking; you become a partner in creating a journey that reflects your unique personality, interests, and desires. Forget the cookie-cutter itineraries and endless hours of overwhelming research. Instead, you receive a meticulously crafted experience, built just for you, complete with thoughtful recommendations that go beyond the obvious, curated experiences that connect you with the heart of a place, and every single detail handled with the utmost care, so you can simply relax and savor the adventure.
What to Expect
When you work with me, you get someone who listens deeply and plans with purpose. Someone who takes the overwhelm out of travel and replaces it with clarity, confidence, and a sense of ease—so you can focus on being present, not piecing together logistics.
Whether you’re planning a long-awaited celebration, a chance to reconnect with loved ones, or a restorative escape just for you, I’m here to help you travel in a way that’s aligned with your goals, your style, and your life.
And being even a small part of helping create those moments for my clients? That’s what drives me. I find deep personal fulfillment in knowing I’ve helped turn someone’s vision into something real and unforgettable.

The Journey That Led Me Here
My career began in public relations, where for nearly 25 years, I specialized in helping global brands tell their stories and connect authentically with audiences worldwide. This work sharpened my abilities in active listening, clear communication, and innovative problem-solving – skills I now leverage to craft truly personal and effortless travel experiences. Eventually, I felt a strong pull to create more impactful, lasting experiences for individuals rather than corporations.
My own passion for travel blossomed after my first international trip in my 30s. While exhilarating, navigating it alone amidst a sea of online information was also overwhelming. That experience solidified my desire to help others avoid that frustration. Since then, I’ve embraced every opportunity to explore, traveling internationally extensively and connecting deeply with the people and places I encounter.
As a mother of five who have traveled the world with us, I've personally navigated the unique challenges of family travel at every stage – from infant flights to managing the diverse wish lists of teenagers. Our experience as a large family has given me a distinct understanding of coordinating group travel seamlessly in a world often not built for it. Whether you're a couple, a multi-generational group, or traveling with friends, I bring this practical expertise to anticipate your needs and handle every detail, ensuring your trip is enjoyable and harmonious for all.

I travel internationally multiple times each year specifically to explore, experience, and learn about destinations firsthand – uncovering hidden gems, gaining inside tips, and building personal connections.
