MY STORY
The Heart Behind the Traveling Red
One of the most distinctive parts of Cristie Anne’s story is her family’s second home inside Disney’s Golden Oak, the only residential community located on Walt Disney World property. Designed by Disney Imagineers and inspired by Belle’s cottage from Beauty and the Beast, their home, affectionately known as Belle’s Cottage, has become a signature part of her content, offering followers a rare glimpse into Disney living beyond the parks.
Travel has always been at the heart of Cristie Anne’s life. She has explored 47 countries and has always believed that children belong on those adventures too. She and her husband began traveling with their daughter, Charlie, from infancy, visiting four continents before her first birthday. Today, Charlie has traveled to 21 countries, and together they continue to inspire families to travel confidently with children, proving that unforgettable memories are worth every mile.
The Traveling Red originally began as a place to document the beautiful destinations Cristie Anne and her husband explored together. As their family grew, so did the brand. Looking for a different way to experience the world, they purchased and transformed a retired yellow school bus into a charming family home on wheels. With Cristie Anne leading the design, the bus became the backdrop for more than eight months of slow travel across the United States. That experience reinforced the belief that adventure is not defined by luxury alone, but by the memories created along the way.
Behind the creative work is a strong foundation in business and marketing. Cristie Anne earned both her undergraduate degree and her MBA in Marketing from the University of Miami, bringing strategic thinking and professional marketing expertise to every campaign she produces. Every partnership is approached not only through the lens of a creator, but also with the perspective of a marketer who understands branding, audience behavior, and long term business value.
Today, The Traveling Red reaches a community of more than 480,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Her audience is made up primarily of women who look to her for trusted recommendations, family travel inspiration, luxury destinations, Disney experiences, beautiful homes, and thoughtfully curated lifestyle content.
Over the years, Cristie Anne has collaborated with leading brands including Disney, Disney Cruise Line, Amazon, Fairmont Hotels, Pottery Barn Kids, Lilly Pulitzer, Pepsi, tourism boards across the United States, and many other respected travel, hospitality, and family brands. Every collaboration is thoughtfully selected to ensure it aligns with both her audience and the values that have built lasting trust within her community.
Whether she’s sharing life inside Belle’s Cottage, exploring a five star resort, sailing aboard Disney Cruise Line, or discovering hidden gems around the world, Cristie Anne’s mission remains the same: to inspire families to travel more, create lasting memories together, and find joy in both the extraordinary adventures and the everyday moments that make life meaningful.
