Girls Trips
From a long weekend in Paris to a week on the Amalfi Coast — I specialize in trips that bring women together and leave everyone speechless. Logistics handled, drama optional.

The Travel
Huntress
Upscale escapes off the beaten path — where local meets luxe.
I spent my whole life going to church to speak to God… I now know where he lives, Borgo Santandrea. The only reason to stray from this version of heaven is a sublime Gulf of Salerno cruise aboard Capt Luigi’s beautiful vessel, floating from one swimming hole to another while sipping local Rose and fresh fruit.
We may have to visit Sicily and Sardinia, which in my mind is a waste, before we spend all future days Soaking in heaven at Borgo!!! Thank you Christie for an unforgettable experience.

help you
Honeymoons
Your first trip as a married couple should be extraordinary. I'll craft something that feels entirely yours — intimate, unexpected, and unforgettable. Complimentary upgrades included wherever possible.
Paris & Europe
Paris shopping without the lines. The Amalfi Coast without the crowds. I know Europe the way only someone who's lived it can — the hidden courtyards, boutique stays, and tables worth booking weeks in advance.
Bespoke Itineraries
Multi-destination, off-the-beaten-path, solo, or with the whole crew — if you want to travel somewhere and don't know where to start, start here. I'll handle every detail so you can just show up!
Private Travel
Private aircraft, helicopter transfers, yacht charters, and extraordinary villa stays — each element curated around you, for travel defined by discretion, exceptional comfort, and the freedom to go entirely on your own terms.
Group Travel
Destination weddings and room blocks, bachelorette parties, corporate and incentive trips, and milestone celebrations. I manage the details for every traveler so you can focus on being present for the occasion.
Why use a travel advisor
More than
booking flights
Skip the research spiral
Close your 47 browser tabs. I've done the research — on the hotels, the neighborhoods, the right time to go — so you don't have to spend your evenings down a rabbit hole.
Perks you can't book yourself
Through Fora's supplier relationships, I can unlock complimentary breakfasts, room upgrades, hotel credits, and VIP treatment at luxury properties — often at no extra cost to you.
Someone in your corner
If something goes wrong — a flight cancelled, a hotel that falls short — you have an advocate. Not a chatbot. Not placed on hold. Me, personally, fixing it.
Truly personalized
You'll never get a copy-paste itinerary. Every trip is built around your travel style, pace, budget, and the things that actually matter to you — not the things that matter to everyone else.

who goes first
"I want to go everywhere — but I don't want to go everywhere everyone else is going."
Christie Vines is a New York City-based luxury travel advisor affiliated with Fora Travel, specializing in girls trips, honeymoons, Paris, and Europe. She's always been the one planning the trip — the one with the spreadsheet, the restaurant reservations, the backup plan. And always the one who wants the experience that feels secret and sophisticated: hidden courtyards, boutique stays, and local flavours far from the crowds, but never short on charm.
Her travel style blends refined comfort with authentic discovery — exploring beyond the guidebooks to uncover the kind of places that make you feel like a local, not a tourist. She loves to travel solo, with her husband, and always on a girls trip.
As a Fora-affiliated advisor based in New York City, Christie brings that same obsessive, detail-first approach to planning for her clients. The Amalfi Coast without the crowds. Paris shopping without the lines. That's the standard, always.

Something else? Ask meDo I need a travel advisor?
Of course, you can plan a trip on your own. But when your time is valuable, your expectations are high, and you want your vacation to feel truly special, having a travel advisor can make all the difference.
A great trip is about so much more than finding a beautiful hotel or booking a flight. It's about knowing where to stay, how to get there, what experiences are worth your time, and how to make the most of every moment.
That's where I come in!
What does a luxury travel advisor do differently?
It's not just about booking a beautiful hotel. It's about creating an exceptional experience from beginning to end.
- Personalized recommendations: I take the time to understand how you like to travel, what matters most to you, and what will make your trip feel uniquely yours. No cookie-cutter itineraries or one-size-fits-all recommendations.
- Insider knowledge and connections: I help you find properties, experiences, and destinations that are the right fit — not simply the most popular or most expensive. Through my hotel partnerships, I can also help secure valuable perks when available, such as room upgrades, breakfast, property credits, and thoughtful VIP amenities.
- Thoughtful planning: From choosing the right room category to coordinating transfers, excursions, and the flow of your itinerary, I consider the details that can make a trip feel effortless — or unnecessarily complicated.
- Your time back: Researching hotels, comparing options, navigating logistics, and keeping track of reservations takes time. I take that work off your plate so you can focus on looking forward to your trip.
- A trusted resource: Travel doesn't always go exactly as planned. Having an advisor who knows your itinerary and can help you navigate changes gives you an added layer of support and peace of mind.
Ultimately, luxury isn't always about spending more. It's about making thoughtful choices, having access to the right experiences, and feeling taken care of.
You can book a vacation yourself. But if you want a trip that feels personal, seamless, and considered down to the details, that's where a luxury travel advisor can truly add value.
That's the experience I want to create for every client of The Travel Huntress.
Does The Travel Huntress charge fees?
Hotel and cruise bookings are complimentary! I am compensated directly by my hotel and cruise partners, which means you receive expert service at no extra cost.
Custom itinerary planning does carry a fee, which varies based on the length of travel, number of attendees and destinations, and the complexity of your trip. Please reach out to schedule a complimentary consult!
How is booking with The Travel Huntress different from booking myself?
Third-party platforms strip away loyalty benefits and offer no personalized service. When you book through The Travel Huntress, you're recognized as a VIP from the moment of arrival — with perks like daily breakfast, room upgrades, late checkout, and resort credits that can be worth hundreds of dollars per stay.
