All about Value LuxuryDollar wise and penny foolish, Travel Belles are more than happy to be extra frugal for a while, especially if it means she gets to be even just a little bit extravagant on that next vacation.

We call it value luxury. Unique vacations that make you feel fabulous.

That’s the point, right?

Travel can be Pretty and PracticalThere is a lot of ground to cover between the budget hotel with a chain link fence we wouldn’t be caught dead in (unless of course, it was clean, in the middle of Paris and available for a song) and the super luxe (think private islands and planes.)

Maximizing dollars for the

best experience

is not one size fits all.

Who is a Travel Belle?She's her own unique combination of many things.

Opinionated, funny, serious, poignant, intellectual, easy going and yeah, she’ll admit it, even on occasion a little uptight.

When asked what she cares about most, she would say her family.
