I founded Belle Vie Travel in 2019 after years in professional roles where caring for people and managing details were second nature. Our name, which means "Beautiful Life" in French, reflects both my grandmother's French heritage and my mother's reminder to live fully, values that continue to shape how I approach travel planning today.

As a Certified Travel Associate (CTA) and ASTA Verified Travel Advisor, I bring formal training and practical industry knowledge to every trip I plan. My core focus is planning travel that allows people to slow down and engage with their destination, while I handle the timing, logistics, and choices that matter just as much as the destination itself.

In addition to our broad range of travel planning services, Belle Vie Travel has a long-standing focus on women's travel. No one should skip seeing the world just because they don't have a travel partner, which is why women-focused travel remains an important part of my work.

I'm based in Ohio and work with travelers across the U.S. who want guidance and someone they can trust from the first conversation through their return home. The best trips aren't about doing everything. They're about fewer stops, local experiences, and unexpected moments you didn't plan but can't forget.
