Meet Your Travel Team
We’re more than just travel advisors—we’re storytellers, experience curators, and your biggest cheerleaders when it comes to planning the perfect trip.
What sets us apart? Intentionality and care. Every itinerary we create is handcrafted with your unique preferences, pace, and priorities in mind. We take the time to get to know you—whether you're a poolside relaxer, an adventure seeker, or traveling with little ones in tow—so that every detail feels tailored, not templated.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all travel. We believe in thoughtful questions, listening closely, and bringing your vision to life with trusted insight, insider access, and a whole lot of heart.
No call centers. No cookie-cutter packages. Just a dedicated team who genuinely cares about making your trip effortless, meaningful, and memorable from start to finish.
Let’s get you there—with care.

Christina Walker
Independent Travel Agent/Europe Expert and Spanish Speaking Country Expert
Hello! ¡Hola! Bonjour! Salut! Guten Tag! My name is Christina Walker and I joined There and Back Again’s team of travel agents. I am very excited to be here. I grew up taking long summer road trips as my parents were teachers. I started traveling internationally in middle school and have not stopped! I was an exchange student to Argentina in high school and I studied in Spain during college. I lead educational travel experiences with my Spanish students to a variety of Spanish-speaking countries. Travel opens up eyes and bring a new perspective. I love to plan trips and I am always happiest when I have a trip to look forward to. Anyone else like this?? I look forward to hearing what YOUR desires and travel dreams are and helping them come true. I am taking an European Travel course right now to bring that specialty to our team as well as sharing my knowledge of travel to Spanish-speaking countries! I can’t wait to work alongside you to create an unforgettable travel experience!

Olivia Rogers Guertin
Independent Travel Agent/Hawaii Expert
Aloha, Friends!
I'm Olivia Rogers, and I'm so excited to officially join There and Back Again Travel as a Hawaii travel specialist!
Hawaii was the first place I ever saw the ocean- and I've been hooked ever since! From Island hopping adventures to exploring hidden gems, I love helping other experience the aloha spirit that keeps me going back year after year.
When I'm not traveling, you'll find me behind the chair at my salon, teaching a yoga class or spending time with my husband and our two sweet fur babies.
If Hawaii is calling your name, I'd love to help you plan the perfect getaway!
