Chrissy Stephens
Independent Travel Advisor
Chrissy believes in the transformative power of travel—its ability to energize and restore, broaden perspectives, and enhance overall well-being. Thoughtfully planned journeys not only create lasting memories but also offer the chance to return to daily life with a renewed outlook.
Her love for exploration began in college during a semester at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she fell in love with discovering new places and cultures. After graduating from Vanderbilt with a double major in English and Communication Studies, Chrissy moved to Tanzania for a year, living at a safari camp and homeschooling the camp owner’s children. Her extensive travels across Kenya and Tanzania that year deepened her passion for adventure and ignited a love for luxury safari travel.
Following a brief stint in corporate America as a consultant, she pursued creative endeavors as an actor, model, and writer—before realizing her lifelong dream of working in the travel industry.
A natural researcher and planner, Chrissy has long been the go-to resource among friends for luxury hotel, restaurant, and activity recommendations. She takes pride in meticulously curating itineraries tailored to her client’s unique preferences, ensuring each journey is seamless and unforgettable. Whether planning an exclusive African safari, a wellness retreat in the Swiss Alps, or a cultural immersion in Italy, Chrissy designs extraordinary travel experiences that rejuvenate and inspire.
Chrissy lives in Manhattan Beach, California, with her husband, three children, and two dogs, Pancakes and Frank. In her free time, she enjoys playing tennis, exploring California, reading, writing, and puzzling.
