Welcome, Christopher Grable, Cruise Specialist!

​Alpaca Your Bags Travel is THRILLED to announce that Christopher Grable has joined our team as a cruise specialist!
IN his own words, here's Chris' bio!

Hey there, I’m Christopher, or Chris, depending on how long you’ve known me.

I recently joined the Alpaca Your Bags Team after several discussions with Ashley about our mutual love of travel.  While I’m new to Alpaca Your Bags, I’m not new to travel.  I’ve been a professional pilot and self-proclaimed world traveler for the past decade.  I still remember my first international trip when I was 11 to Germany.  I was fascinated by the small differences in culture just as much as I was the larger differences like the language.  Plus it was the first time I had the equivalent of Nutella (Yum — Chocolate for breakfast!).  Since that trip I’ve visited 6 continents, 47 countries, and all 50 states.  I can easily say I “got the travel bug” and haven’t stopped since.

It also incorporates the second love of my life being on a cruise ship. I find cruises to be the most economical and versatile vacation there is.  These ships have something for everyone, whether your schtick is drinking beer by the water or hiking the Dunriver Falls.  Since my first cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas in 2006, I’ve been on 26 different cruises on Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Norwegian with itineraries ranging from 3 day weekend getaways to 17 night Suez Canal tours.

Ashley and I have known each other since high school and have shared our love of travel and our adventures with each other over the years, so when she started talking about starting Alpaca Your Bags I thought I may be able to compliment her experiences with mine and help others find their dream vacations.  You can contact me at christopher@alpacayourbags.com
