Why Chrissy
Who I Am
I’m Chrissy Samples, a licensed dental hygienist turned full-time travel advisor. I build relationships with my clients based on trust, close attention to detail, and consistent follow-through to curate the perfect vacation.
Over 10 years of travel planning, I’ve built relationships with families who come back trip after trip because they know I’ll take care of them.
Why I Do What I Do
Years ago, a travel advisor planned a vacation for me. Every detail coordinated. I showed up, and the experience unfolded exactly as I dreamed it would.
That trip opened my eyes to what professional travel planning could do—not just booking, but genuinely transforming the experience. I’ve been creating that for my clients ever since.
Based in North Texas, Serving Clients Nationwide
I’m based in Caddo Mills, Texas—part of the Dallas/North Texas area, but my clients come from all over the country. We connect by phone, video, or email. Your consultation happens on your schedule, and your planning unfolds through regular communication.
For local clients:
I’m happy to meet in person if you’re in the Dallas area. Coffee consultations are always welcome.
For everyone else:
Virtual planning works beautifully. Some of my best client relationships are with people I’ve never met face-to-face.
Credentials, Certifications & Experience
With over 10 years in the travel industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to planning your perfect getaway. My background includes specialized certifications and on-site training that help me ensure excellence in all aspects of vacation management.
Member of Travel Leader’s Network
Travel Leaders Network is one of North America’s largest travel agency networks, connecting me with preferred supplier relationships, exclusive rates, and industry resources that benefit my clients. This partnership means access to upgrades, amenities, and support you won’t find booking on your own.
Certifications and Ongoing Training
I hold specialist certifications across my core focus areas—including Sandals/Beaches resorts, Jamaica, Disney and Universal, and AMA Waterways river cruises. My training is ongoing, with regular destination education throughout the Caribbean to stay current on properties and experiences.
Specialized in Caribbean Islands & Sandals Resorts
I’ve spent over 10 years specializing in Caribbean travel, particularly Sandals resorts. I’ve completed extensive training at many different properties and work closely with Sandals representatives to ensure my clients get exceptional experiences.

– Tracy
Chrissy is the best Disney planner you will find out there! We were first timers and she planned every single detail for our trip. When we got there we had our whole entire trip organized for us, and navigated it smoothly because of all her careful planning! She is professional. Passionate about Disney! And she will go out of her way for you. I don’t know how we could have done the trip without her! We loved it so much we booked our next one for next year while we were at Disney! Thank you Chrissy for all you do!
– Elizabeth
Chrissy planned a Jamaican vacation for my girlfriend and I. Chrissy gave us exactly what we were looking for and more. Everything was above and beyond our expectations. She was always quick to respond with correct information. Also, she provided us with great advice which prevented us from wasting any precious time while we were on vacation. We will definitely be using her many times again in the future. Highly recommended.
