Hello!
Born and raised in West Michigan, Christine lives there with her husband of 16 years and their energetic Vizsla pup, Kyro. When she’s not planning travel or working as a Physician Associate, you’ll probably find her trying a new restaurant, researching her next big trip, or attempting to fit one more pair of shoes into an already overstuffed suitcase.
Christine didn’t always have a passion for travel. Her first trip to Ireland and England in 2012 was lovely, but the real spark came a few years later, after a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in New Zealand. That trip ignited something bigger: a deep love for exploring new places, experiencing new cultures, and creating unforgettable memories. Since then, she’s made travel a priority, and a passion.
Christine is the founder of Viora Travel, where she blends her eye for detail, love for planning, and commitment to conservation to curate elevated, seamless travel experiences for her clients. She's committed to ethical experiences and thoughtfully vets any activity involving animals to ensure it aligns with responsible tourism practices. Whether it’s a luxury retreat, a milestone getaway, or a soul-refreshing escape, she designs each itinerary with care, creativity, and purpose.
With firsthand experience across more than a dozen international destinations including Europe, the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia. Christine brings real insight, insider knowledge, and a personal touch to every trip she plans.
Her goal? To help you Escape the Ordinary—and fall in love with the world.
"I just returned from my first solo trip — a G Adventures G-Luxe Tour in Jordan — and it was absolutely amazing, thanks in large part to my incredible travel agent, Christine! She handled everything flawlessly: flights, accommodations, tours, dining, transportation, and even the little details I hadn’t thought of.
The trip itself was unforgettable — full of adventure, history, amazing food, and meaningful cultural experiences. Christine’s expert planning made it all seamless and stress-free. If you're thinking about traveling, especially solo or internationally, I can't recommend Christine enough. She truly goes above and beyond!"
