Welcome to Traveling Together, the meetup group where you can explore the world, make local friends, and enjoy new adventures together. Whether you desire international getaways, crave immersing in different cultures, or simply seek travel companions, this group is for you.
Hi! My name is Christie, and I'm a travel planner. My favorite thing to do is travel the world with others!
A little bit about me...
I'm in my late 40s, married, no kids, but 2 cute poodle mixes. My husband, Chris, and I moved from Southern California to Gainesville, Georgia in 2022 so we could buy a larger house that both of our moms could move into with us. So it's four of us here starting our new adventure.
How I am picturing this group...
Once we get enough critical mass in the group, we'll start with some hang-outs or Zoom chats to get to know each other a bit. Chris and I travel a few times a year and would love to make friends with others who want to join us sometimes! I also plan group trips for others who are open to inviting others. Single or coupled, kids or no kids - it doesn't matter.
Our group trips will typically be priced "mid-range" - not bare-bones budget trips, but not crazy expensive luxury trips either. When we do cruises, which are super convenient for groups, I will give options at various price-points.

If traveling with others sounds interesting to you, please sign up.

I'm so excited about this group cruise on Princess. So far there are 16 of us.
We'll start with an overnight to Barcelona on Sept 18-19 of 2025 ready for departure on September 20, 2025. The 7-night cruise on Sun Princess goes to some amazing ports:
- Barcelona, Spain (starting location)
- Gibraltar (UK)
- Marseille (Provence), France
- Genoa, Italy
- Florence/Pisa (La Spezia), Italy
- Naples, Italy (for Capri, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast)
My husband and I will be heading to Barcelona a bit early to explore, so please let me know if you'd like to join us for any part of our trip. After exploring the Napoli/Amalfi coasts, we will be taking a train up to Rome for an extended vacation.

Trip Highlights:
- The opportunity to visit 4 different European nations in one trip!
- The fun of exploring a brand new ship - Sun Princess will have all the latest and greatest features, technology, and entertainment.
- Experience food all over the western coast of Italy...yes, please!
- I'm excited about seeing the still unfinished La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona...along with trying some tapas at a Flamenco dance!
- Late September is the perfect time to explore this part of the Mediterranean. The weather should be beautiful and NOT at the peak of tourism season or the highest temperatures of the summer!
- You will be traveling WITH your travel advisor (ME), so that means less risk and stress, more value and convenience, and someone to turn to if there are travel hiccups.
- Plenty of time to save up for this trip...even make monthly payments if you'd like!
Prices for the 7-night cruise, inside stateroom, shared with a roommate, start at $1,082 per person (including taxes/port fees). Balconies start at $1,483 per person (shared with a roommate). Solo rooms are available.

For trip presentation and full details: www.toastabletravel.com/italy-foodie-2025
Get ready to indulge your senses on an unforgettable culinary journey through Italy! From Roman dinners and Tuscan flavors to the gourmet delights of Bologna, this 8-night tour will immerse you in the heart of Italian cuisine.
Trip dates are October 3-12, 2025, a perfect time of year to enjoy the weather and (slightly) smaller crowds from peak summer season.
Registration will be open for one week, closing on Sunday night, October 27. Don't miss out in this tour focused on a special food experience every single day! (If we are able to open up registration again later, it will depend on the availability of hotel rooms and the price point will most likely go up.)
The itinerary includes immersive cooking classes, neighborhood tastings, engaging group dinners, and behind-the-scenes factory visits. We’ll explore everything from Rome’s rich history to the regional flavors of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna—offering so much more than just pizza and pasta.
After reviewing the presentation and details, please feel free to reach out to me with your questions.
