Christine and I connected through a mutual friend, we hit if off in conversation via WhatsApp and email, and later we met up in Italy.

It was such a pleasure to travel with Christine. She was so easy to be with and a lot of fun too. This is how kind and considerate she was – I arrived at the Perugia airport at 8am after having not slept the night before. She rearranged items in the car and set it up so that I slept en route to our first destination--Assisi! She also surprised me with a chocolate-making class in Perugia! AND, when my plane back to Spain was cancelled the day before my flight, with NO alternates available for days, I panicked. But Christine came to the rescue; she told me she could drive me to the Florence airport instead and helped me make a new plan. Without her, I would have been stranded and not known how to get home!

Christine is extremely kind and considerate, and, I must add, great company! In short, we were wonderful travel companions and I’m really looking forward to spending time with her again.

Christine is a master organizer! She always had an alternative plan for us in case our first choice of activities couldn’t happen. We stayed at wonderful places and were able to maximize our short stay. She definitely knows how to find fun excursions!!

Christine and I have long been travelling companions. I’m disabled and part of my disability is a brain fog that makes thinking difficult even on the best days, partnered with various food allergies and physical challenges. Twice now, I’ve expressed a dream to Christine, and she’s made it happen.

In 2022, just after my mom’s passing, I wanted to go to the Florida theme parks as a reward for several years of caregiving. I was concerned as to how I would get there and how it would unfold. Christine heard me and encouraged me to start not just dreaming about it but doing it. She arranged transportation, doing most of the driving herself, housing (an amazing private condo with private rooms, a patio, and a huge hot tub, just outside of Disney property), and the trip was one I’ll always remember with enormous satisfaction and enjoyment.

Most recently, Christine made sure I got to New York City to see my favorite celebrity on stage. She found the NYC hotel, arranged accommodations along our route, and – again – did most of the driving due to health problems on my part. I can’t say enough to express my gratitude, especially given Christine’s calm and patient understanding when a sudden illness kept me in bed for two of our days.

The examples of Christine’s generosity of spirit and kindness are far more than I could ever hope to type out, and those are just *my* experiences with her. Her involvement with charitable causes and helping others is truly a passion.

Christine is kind, patient, incredibly smart, pragmatic, reasonable, fun to be with, and in general a delight. I would travel with her without hesitation at any time and to almost any place, and be thoroughly grateful for the opportunity to spend time with her.

I cannot recommend Christine Gribble highly enough for any task, goal, or dream that you’re considering. She has made more than one of my dreams come true, and she is an exceptional organizer and companion.

We traveled with Christine in Italy. She has prior travel experience, including Europe, and was very well organized. We stayed at some very cool places and got to see and do all the things we wanted to. Yes! We would do it again.
