About Christina

Hi, I'm Christina, founder of Lorusso Travel. 

Before entering the travel industry, I spent years as a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, working in emergency medicine. That work taught me to plan carefully, anticipate what could go wrong, and stay calm when things don't go as expected, skills I now bring to every trip I design. Later, I stepped away from my nursing career to focus on raising my two sons, who are now 18 and 21.

Travel became an important part of our lives when my boys were young. Beginning in my 30s, I made it a priority to explore new destinations with my family, often taking trips with just the three of us. I wanted my sons to experience different cultures, broaden their perspectives, and develop a love for travel that would stay with them throughout their lives.

In my 40s, I took my first solo trip. What began as a personal challenge quickly became a passion. I discovered that independent travel offers something truly special, the confidence that comes from navigating unfamiliar places, embracing new experiences, and realizing you're capable of more than you imagined. Now I help other women experience that same feeling, often for the very first time.

At 51, life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The years that followed were filled with treatments, surgeries, and challenges that tested me in ways I never anticipated. While I would never have chosen that experience, it changed my perspective on life in profound ways.

Facing my own mortality taught me that too many of us spend years waiting for the "right time" to pursue our dreams, take the trip, or experience the places we've always wanted to see. I realized that someday is never guaranteed.

Travel had always been one of my greatest passions, and for years I had dreamed of building a travel business of my own. At 53, I decided it was time to stop putting that dream on hold.

Today, Lorusso Travel is the result of that decision.

My mission is simple: to help women travel with confidence, comfort, and purpose, especially those who have spent years putting everyone else first. Whether you're planning your first solo adventure, a luxury European escape, a cruise, or a journey you've been postponing for years, I'll design every detail around you so you can simply enjoy the experience.
