Caribbean Mexico Alaska & Europe Your Way!
Husband & I skiing at Holiday Valley, NY
As the proud Owner of Vacation Architect and an ASTA Verified Travel Advisor, my passion for travel runs deep in my roots, inherited from my adventurous grandparents who explored 48 states with a dairy farm and 12 kids in tow. Inspired by their stories, I've dedicated the past 4 years to sharing the joy of travel, particularly with those from rural communities. As a Travel Quest Monarch Agency with dozens of destination and supplier certifications, I've immersed myself in 21 countries and sailed on over 20 big ship cruises, including captivating Caribbean and European adventures. I've also navigated the scenic waterways with riverboat cruising in the US and Europe. Holding a Bachelor of Art in Art History specializing in Architecture from the University of Cincinnati, my academic background enriches my understanding of architectural wonders experienced during my journeys. With 30 years of snow skiing adventures and exploration of 42 states, from magical moments at theme parks to riverboat cruises in the US and Europe, my experiences are diverse. Let's build your adventure today!
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!

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.

Reviewed By Dhalby - Dayton, ky | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Our favorite part of our vacation was the Cenotes and the beautiful beach. Least favorite was the obstructed “ocean view”, uncomfortable beds, and the food was not very good. We enjoyed our stay at the Riu Palace Peninsula for the most part, and would recommend to others. We would also recommend the Riu Caribe that is next door as well. We went over to visit several times through our stay.

Traveling Made Easy
Reviewed By Christy - Sardinia, OH 45171, USA | Traveled to Destin ~ Florida ~ USA
Just got back from a fantastic relaxing weekend at Fort Walton Beach, FL! So needed, and huge credit to Vacation Architect! I typically love searching out destinations and deals, but there was no time for that - or needed stress. If you've ever considered using a travel agent and haven't-- do it! And I HIGHLY recommend Vacation Architect. Do I know her? Yes. But hear me out. First, why not use someone that you know or someone you know knows, and support a small business owner? But more importantly, I called her with very basic wants and needs (dates, price range, goal of relaxing) - not even a destination in mind, she asked a few questions and a short while later I had two different itineraries to pick from. Signed and paid for everything online, and she sent me the travel docs pre-trip and followed up, along with how to contact her if we needed anything while traveling. And because I am who I am, after it was confirmed, I searched it out, I couldn't have booked the same trip for less.
