Christian didn't just plan our Oregon Coast trip - she transformed how we think about travel. The hidden beach coves, the local oyster farm tour, the tide pool exploration guided by a marine biologist she connected us with…every moment felt intentional and authentic. This was travel at a completely different level.
- Sarah & Mike, Seattle, WA
"As someone who usually over-researches and still misses the best spots, having Christian's systematic approach was game-changing. The DISCOVER Framework meant we experienced the Cascade Mountains like locals, not tourists. Worth every penny."
- Jennifer L., Portland, OR
"We hired Christian for our company retreat planning, and he delivered beyond expectations. His cultural sensitivity protocols, accessibility planning, and attention to team dynamics created an experience that brought our remote team closer together while showcasing Oregon's incredible landscapes."
- David R., San Francisco, CA
