I’ve always believed that travel isn’t just about where you go—it’s about how you experience it. The people you meet, the cultures you explore, the way a place makes you feel—those are the moments that stay with you.

But as much as I love travel, I found that planning trips—especially group experiences—felt overwhelming. Figuring out where to go, what to do, and even what to pack became a full-time job. As a busy single mom, I didn’t have the time to piece it all together, and I knew I wasn’t alone in feeling this way.

That’s why I created Va Beau—the first-ever bookable, shoppable travel magazine. A place where women can find inspiration, book incredible experiences, and shop fashion and travel essentials—all in one seamless platform.

I built Va Beau because I believe travel should feel exciting, not exhausting. It should be beautiful, effortless, and deeply personal. And most importantly, it should give women the freedom to explore the world in a way that reflects their style, curiosity, and sense of adventure.
