Travel style
I'm Bella, a travel advisor passionate about turning vacation dreams into reality. My curiosity about the world has taken me to 29 countries across four continents, with Tanzania, Greece, Mexico and Brazil holding special places in my heart. I specialize in creating travel experiences that blend relaxation and adventure — whether it's a morning hike, a beach day, a cultural food tour or an evening out for dinner and drinks. My goal is to craft personalized journeys that nourish the mind, body and soul while connecting travelers with the world’s diverse cultures, landscapes and stories. Experiencing destinations through their food is my favorite way to explore, as I believe cuisine is a universal language that reveals a place's culture and traditions. Traveling is my way of life, and I excel at designing bespoke travel experiences for families, individuals and couples, with a special focus on Mexico and Europe. I’ve also planned unforgettable honeymoons, milestone birthdays and proposal trips. Let me handle the planning so you can relax and fully enjoy the adventure.

Bella did a fantastic job with timely responses. She arranged an upgrade to a room with a balcony and all amenities were properly recorded. I would highly recommend using Bella.

Bella was by far the most exceptional travel associate we have worked with. She carefully listened to our dreams for our vacation and put together a most creative blend of history, areas for my husband’s desire for photographic opportunities, and gastronomical delightful experiences that we will remember forever. Bella was a delight to work with. She provided options for us so we could even more deeply fashion our dream trip. Her use of an app that we used on a daily if not hourly basis was an exciting way to use of technology and have our information right there at our hands reach. She is just a delightful person and we will use her over and over again. She is a dynamic professional, the top of her game.

Working with Bella was a 10/10 experience. After a quick intro call, she had a great understanding of what we were looking for and was willing to make great recommendations as to where we should go, what we should do and where we should eat and shop. I plan to call Bella again before I start the planning process for our next adventure!
