Christina Schafers
Always say "Yes!" to new adventures. When I first heard about Hidden Gem travel from a destination wedding podcast, I knew that this was the team I wanted to help plan my wedding. Once Rachel found out I was also a travel agent, I jumped on the chance to join her Team. I thrive on planning every detail so you and your guests can simply relax and get the most out of your stay, no matter where you choose. I love intimate, personalized travel with a flair for niche group trips like deep-sea fishing, wellness, culinary, wine, and even fantasy travel. I'm happiest bringing my clients dreams to life and the possibilities are endless, so let's get started!
