Christie
Born in New Jersey, Christie spent her formative years in the California Bay Area and Arlington, Texas, and then called Southern California home for 26 years. However, 2022 brought a new chapter for the Costellos as they embarked on a fresh adventure to Gainesville, Georgia and bought their forever home that could accommodate both them and their mothers.

FAVORITE TRAVEL MEMORY
One of my most cherished travel experiences was at the five-star Shangri La Resort & Spa in Cebu, Philippines, snorkeling in their private marine reserve right from the beach.
TOP OF THE BUCKET LIST
My bucket list brims with dreams of a grand adventure exploring the Mediterranean & Adriatic.
HAVING FUN
When I'm not crafting dream journeys, you'll find me relishing strategy games with friends and family or expressing my creativity through painting.
INTERESTING FACTS
-
On a more personal note, at the age of 30, I chose to fully embrace my natural self by taking off the wig and proudly living with alopecia universalis (a condition that has left me without hair). Life's too short to worry about appearances.
-
Beyond my current roles, I've also served as an elementary school teacher, a pastor, and an event planner.
-
My rich cultural background is rooted in my Jamaican heritage, as my mother immigrated to the US at the age of 12. That, combined with my Italian half, definitely formed the foodie in me!

Chris
Born in Texas, Chris's childhood was a blend of cultures as an army brat, moving from Fort Hood, Texas to Germany, then to Kentucky and back to Texas. With Christie, he's called Southern California home for over 26 years, but in 2022, they set their sights on Gainesville, Georgia, which has been a wonderful change of scenery and change of pace.
FAVORITE TRAVEL MEMORY
One of my fondest travel memories is our 2019 Caribbean cruise where we spent the entire week in the comedy club. That week was filled with unforgettable moments and lots of laughter!
TOP OF THE BUCKET LIST
Ireland, a nod to my heritage, holds a special place on my travel wishlist, closely followed by the allure of Rome and its history.
HAVING FUN
In my downtime, I'm often immersed in books, strategizing during games, or indulging in Lego projects.
