Travel Specialist: Europe Asia Caribbean & Beyond!

Growing up in Turkey and Greece, my love for exploring the world started early—thanks to my parents, who were avid travelers. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of sailing across the Atlantic on classic Italian cruise ships like the SS Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, spending month-long summers sailing the Aegean Sea, and swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Çesme on Turkey’s stunning Turquoise Coast.

When you travel with me as your advisor, you're not just getting an itinerary—you’re getting a deeply personal and curated experience shaped by my years of firsthand exploration. I’ve lived in Spain, Turkey, and Greece and have wandered through the breathtaking landscapes of Portugal, Italy, France, Ireland, England, Holland, Germany, Austria, the Caribbean, and Mexico.My specialties? Luxury travel, bespoke itineraries, European culture, culinary and wine experiences, all-inclusive family vacations, adults-only getaways, amusement parks, luxury cruises, and milestone celebrations like anniversaries and retirements!

A Taste of My Travels:

Italy – I once went truffle hunting in Tuscany, followed by a mouthwatering gourmet meal featuring fresh truffles and regional wine.

Spain – I took flamenco lessons in Valencia with a professional dancer, learning the art’s deep history before enjoying an intimate performance at a historic tablao. 

Turkey – I’ve explored both the grandeur of Istanbul and the dreamlike landscapes of Cappadocia, where hot air balloons fill the sky.

Greece – I lost myself in the country where I was born, on a sunset cruise around Santorini, stopping at hidden coves, hot springs, and the volcanic caldera before watching the famous sunset from the sea with a glass of crisp Greek wine.

Portugal – At a historic Quinta in the Douro Valley, I learned the art of Port wine production and even blended my own custom bottle!

Why Travel With Me? I don’t just book trips — I craft experiences that stay with you forever. Whether it’s a traditional Balinese water purification ceremony, a private food tour through Tokyo, a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast, or a cultural deep dive into the heart of Lisbon, I tailor every detail to fit your travel dreams.

With years of experience and a network of trusted partners through 58 Stars Travel, I ensure every trip is seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable. So, whether you're dreaming of a romantic escape in the Maldives, a thrilling safari in Africa, an all-inclusive Caribbean retreat, or a luxury cruise through the Greek Isles — I’m here to make it happen.

Drop me a note, and let’s start planning your next unforgettable journey!

My Love for the Breathtaking Beauty of Puerto Rico

Boqueron, Puerto Rico

My Love for the Breathtaking Beauty of Puerto Rico

<p><em>Grouper ceviche mofongo, lechón asado.</em><br /><em>Vibrant, bold street art.</em><br /><em>La Piratas out of coconuts! </em><br /><em>Pristine white sands. Turquoise waters. </em><br /><em>Lush rainforests. Historic charm.</em><br /><br />Do I need to say more about <strong>why I love Puerto Rico</strong>?! (I had you at ceviche, right? Obvi. ??)  <br /><br />Puerto Rico is one of my favorite places to create inspiring itineraries for clients to explore the island's history, culture, cuisine, and natural wonders. Let me tell you why!<br /><br />From Viejo San Juan to El Yunque rainforest to beach time in Rincón, every single stop is electrifying, chock full of stuff to do, things to eat, beaches to swim, and people to meet! The historic charm of Viejo San Juan, from the impressive forts of Castillo San Felipe del Morro and Castillo San Cristóbal to the picturesque Calle de la Fortaleza (where it really is mandatory to stop in for a piña colada at Barrachina (which claims to be the birthplace of the Piña Colada!) and a walk down the iconic Paseo de la Princesa. The Govenor’s mansion. Incredible street art on Calle Cerra in Santurce that blew me away. <br /><br />All of Puerto Rico’s rich history and vibrant culture on display. <br /><br />And the food. <em>Seriously, don’t get me started.</em> Clara de huevo al vapor rellena de queso de cabra y pesto sobre prosciutto (steamed egg white stuffed with goat cheese and pesto on prosciutto) all (wait for it) on…a…waffle! (You read that right. Mind. Blown.) Get the seats outside. The aforementioned Grouper ceviche, Red Snapper (with crazy fried sweet potato strings!), chocolate brownie Baileys & dark chocolate ganache! Yes, I was totally that guy who posted food pics from my Christmas dinner at Oceano. (I dare you not to share your incredible meal!) <br /><br />Stay a couple of nights in Dorado. With nothing but blue Caribbean water & beach for miles, Dorado is like the cool, laid-back cousin of San Juan. The vibe is chill beach days, sunshine, sipping on a coconut drink. I found a quiet spot to unwind and then hit up some cool spots for delicious local eats. It's basically a little slice of paradise where time slows down, and you're in vacation mode 24/7. A break from the hustle of the touristy parts of San Juan.<br /><br />I love to drive along the coast on my way to Rincón. And on the way, stop at Playa Jobos, Isabela, (in my opinion) one of the prettiest beaches in the world! Palm trees and surfing! <br /><br />Then, Rincón, which is ah-may-zing! This is where drinking those previously described La Piratas out of coconuts comes into play. On the beach, with a coconut drink, at Tres Palmas. It doesn’t get better than this! <br /><br />Take a short drive up in the mountains to Red Flamboyan Guesthouse & Restaurant, where I had an amazing meal. A whole grilled fish (Red Snapper here) brought me back to how my mom cooked fresh fish from the market when we lived in Izmir, Turkey. Delicious & simple. – look it up – the drive up in the mountains.  <br /><br />There’s so much more to do and see (and eat!) in this magical place in the Caribbean. <br /><br />But now you see it’s obvious that each place in Puerto Rico, from the bustling streets of San Juan to the tranquil beaches of Rincon, holds a special place in my heart. And when we plan your trip, I guarantee it will be just as magical to you. <br /><br /><em><strong>Check out my travel story for pics (La Pirata, Ceviche, Beach!), and then reach out to me. Let’s plan a trip to Puerto Rico you’ll never forget!  </strong></em></p>

Working with Christopher has been a phenomenal experience!!! He went above and beyond in everything!!!! We celebrated our dear friend’s 50th, and Christopher made it the best trip!! I would absolutely recommend Christopher’s services!!! Looking forward to our next trip!!!
Amy Julias - Grenada ~ Caribbean
Christopher’s recommendations really felt like insider tips. Because he lived in Madrid, I ended up doing things I probably would have missed out on. Loved shopping at El Rastro Flea Market (it’s huge!). And, Toledo was the perfect day excursion. After a few packed days in Barcelona, Christopher sent me to Cadeques, which was one of my favorite parts of the trip, and wasn&#39;t on my radar. The beach is beautiful and the food is out of this world. Had a great time touring Dali&#39;s house, too. Christopher knows Spain! I was worried about all the details but he was patient and knowledgeable and asked a lot of questions. I really appreciated how he incorporated my many interests into the trip. All in all a pretty stress-free experience. Highly recommend Christopher if you’re planning a trip to Spain!
Aaron - Spain ~ Europe
Working with Christopher was pretty easy. He&#39;s always ready with awesome suggestions and made planning our trip to Punta Cana a breeze. If you&#39;re looking for someone to help you with your next vacation, Christopher’s your guy.
