Christa’s Destination Focuses
Morocco
-
Take summer out of the equation when visiting Morocco because it gets hot! The most enjoyable months tend to be October and November and February through May. The winter holidays are very popular, especially for places like Marrakech but can be pretty cold in the Sahara.
-
Christa recommends 10-12 days to see the Sahara Desert and the main cities, plus a couple more if you want to surf and do yoga in a sweet coastal town, too!
Seoul, South Korea
-
Seoul alone is an experiential feast for the urban traveler, mixing stunning historical architecture with massive skyscrapers, modern malls, the newest tech and interactive museums. For a break from the city bustle, the city has abundant nature, mountain hikes and urban forests. And don't forget cherry blossom season (more relaxed and less crowded than in Japan). For a break from the city, a visit to a green tea field and short flight to the beautiful Jeju Island are both lovely additions to experiencing the beauty of the country. April to May and September to November are the best times to visit.
-
Christa recommends 7-10 days.
Costa Rica
-
There are 8 distinct micro-climates with different weather and activities from Tropical Rain forest, to Cloud Forest to sunny beaches. Though it depends on what you want to experience, like a wildlife safari, hiking and adrenaline, or a beach and snorkeling, the overall best time to visit across the country is January through May.

Christa recommends 8-10 days.

Christa was AMAZING! We planned a girls trip to Morocco and it was perfect from start to finish! Christa did such a great job accommodating us even during our trip. My flight changed and I reached out to her on our trip and she made arrangements for me to have a driver spend the day with me to sight see and explore until my late night flight. Will definitely be using her in the future! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Christa Gardner. My wife and I had never traveled to Europe before but both really wanted to experience Italy. We had a consultation with Christa in which she asked the right questions to help us craft the perfect trip based on what we enjoy and what we wanted to see. Christa was very responsive to any questions that came up during the process and there were no surprises. We had the perfect mix of guided tours, activities such as hikes and an e-bike trip, and just time alone to explore. The hotels were all perfectly located and luxurious. The drivers were all attentive and most of them spoke good English. We felt secure during the trip because most everything was taken care of up front and not a single detail was left out. It was truly an unforgettable experience, one that we will never forget.

Loved working with Christa, she made our trip stress free and so enjoyable! We stated in the most beautiful places. She was so great to communicate with even on our trip she got back with us so fast. I have traveled a lot and usually do my own planning but after this trip I will always use Christa, we went to and stayed at the most beautiful places that I would not have found on my own. Thank you can’t wait for the next adventure
