Founder & CEO
Cherrye founded My Bella Vita Travel in 2006 after moving from southeast Texas to central Calabria. With a degree in Communication from Lamar University, she began her career planning special events and intimate weddings at Walt Disney World in Orlando, then led VIP tours at Disneyland Paris. She later returned to LU to oversee new student events and programming.
As a Certified Travel Counselor, Cherrye manages sales, client relations, and business development at My Bella Vita Travel. She is passionate about providing guests with authentic Italian experiences. Adventurous by nature, she’s always willing to try a new local wine and isn’t afraid to push her culinary boundaries—raw seafood? Absolutely. Organ meat? That’s a hard pass!
Favorite Southern Italian Experience: Enjoying an evening aperitivo with friends in a vibrant piazza.
