Christina's Trips

Christina's Trips We see Italy like no other tour with intimate, unique, off-the-beaten path happenings that defy description and must be experienced. La Dolce Vita, baby!

I know that international travel can be a challenge. Not understanding a language or local customs and culture; packing, airports and security regulations! It’s enough to make a person stay home for fear of having more stress than a vacation is worth, right? That’s where Christina's Trips comes in. With a little planning (thank you, Robert) and some creative work with brilliant allies at each of o

ur destinations, our unique holidays turn into the most rewarding travel experiences. And you worry about…nothing. And I mean nothing, except to decide on the flavor of gelato you might enjoy or how many coffees. With us, brand-new worlds of foods, flavors and aromas await our travelers; experiences destined to be just as memorable as the people, places and sights that are naturally part of any trip. As a vegan, a traveler committed to health and wellness…or anyone (and I mean anyone…) who wishes to head home from holiday relaxed and rejuvenated, not exhausted and bloated, Christina's Trips is your answer. You can take a trip to tour Italy or any other destination any day of the week with any number of companies, but it’s getting harder and harder to find the kind of authentic experience of a destination that you desire. Since 1990, before anyone was talking about unique trips that offer a glimpse into the day-to-day life in other cultures, we were hosting experiences. Our boutique trips offer a soulful alternative to group trips where you spend more time on buses between hotels than actually experiencing the culture you’re visiting. With local guides and experts in every city, we offer access to unique tastings, home-cooked meals, artisanal products and cooking classes that allow you to live…just for a short time…like a local. We help you experience your own little piece of La Dolce Vita at a more natural rhythm. We stay in deluxe villas or country houses with luxurious accommodations. We unpack and settle in; taking day trips that allow us to experience all that a location has to offer. And yet, we feel at home in our little slice of paradise, our “home” for the week. We eat well, travel and sightsee; relax a lot. We live like locals with all that encompasses. Getting to know other people, places and cultures is like a new relationship: full of beauty and mystery, depth and wisdom, culture and playfulness. It can take a lifetime of experiences…and then you realize you have only just scratched the surface.

I love my Italian roots. Here's one of the many reasons why.

My mother’s family came to America in search of a better life. The youngest of seventeen children (yes, you read right, seventeen!), my grandmother talked often of their life in a small village outside the city of Naples in southern Italy. She talked about day-to-day things, the stuff of life in a s...

Summer's coming...and with this warm February, I think we'd best get adept at beating the heat. Here's what I have discovered.

I spend a lot of time in Italy, where the summers simmer, I would do some investigating into natural ways to beat the heat. As many of you know, Italians are not really into air conditioning; at least not like Americans. It’s an expensive proposition and uses tremendous precious resources. And yet,…

Cooking in Italy is one of my many passions. Here's why. What about you? What lights your fire?

Cooking in Italy is one of my many passions. Here's why. What about you? What lights your fire?

A month at both work and play in Italy is pretty sweet. Now I’m back at home, looking out my kitchen window over my little city garden, my fig tree, heavy with fruit, dreaming of my weeks in Italy and missing that slower, more natural (for me) lifestyle. So I have decided to share memories of my lit...
