If you are new, Welcome!

Hi! I’m thinking now would be a great time to re-introduce myself because there are so many new faces on here lately! 🥳

I’m Christianna the founder of The Respectful Traveler, a travel planning company helping people travel in a more immersive, conscious way that expands their minds, supports local communities, and considers our 🌎

How did I get here? When I was a paralegal, my favorite part of the job was research.👩‍💻When it was time to plan a vacation, I would spend hours and hours researching, not just hotels, flights, restaurants but also how to be a more responsible traveler and how to do less harm at the destination. Blend these two together and the idea for The Respectful Traveler was born

Our world is beautiful, complicated, unpredictable, and something we can all spend our lifetimes discovering. That is why I love travel planning❤️; there is always something new to learn.

A few facts about me
