ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Wanderlust runs through the veins of Partenza Travel Founder Christine Andraus. She grew up spending her summers in her dad’s home country, Israel, and visiting other family members across Europe. That early exposure to international destinations fueled her lifelong passion for travel and set her on the path to becoming a vacation-planning pro—by the age of 13, she’d acquired enough travel skills to help her parents navigate the road from Paris to Copenhagen, armed with a map in the back seat of their rental car.
Christine continued to add to her list of visited countries while building a successful advertising sales career and planning trips for friends and family, as well as corporate outings. And after a particularly special solo train trip through Italy, she found herself organizing her own destination wedding and 12-person group honeymoon.
As a luxury hotel ambassador and certified Virtuoso travel advisor, Christine taps into her personal experiences and global network of travel partners to create one-of-a-kind, premiere experiences for every one of her clients. She lives in Los Angeles with her two favorite travel companions—her husband and son.
