Bella Vida Travel   Francesca

by

Welcome

My name is Francesca Beard

​I know what it feels like to go through the motions of life—busy, routine, and not truly enjoying the moments that matter.    That’s why I’m passionate about helping others break out of that cycle and create meaningful, unforgettable experiences.

​

Whether it’s for families, friends, couples, groups or even solo travelers seeking time to reset, my goal is simple: to help you live, not just exist.

​

There’s no better way to do that than by experiencing the beauty the world has to offer—immersing yourself in new cultures, exploring breathtaking destinations, and indulging in incredible food along the way.

​

Because life isn’t meant to be watched from the sidelines… it’s meant to be experienced.

Travel Tips

Pink Luggage on Water

On my trip abroad, my husband and I were excited to board our flight from the US to London, especially after receiving a complimentary first-class upgrade due to a delay. While we anticipated our luxurious journey, we joked about whether one of the deplaned bags was ours—and it turned out to be my luggage!

Since we were on a bus tour, my suitcase arrived a month later.
My tip is to try and use only a carry-on that stays under your control or mix your outfits in the suitcase of your travel companion. Luckily, we mixed our outfits, so I had some changes.

Next tip, how to find a laundromat.  Just kidding, I hope you never have to go to a 14 day Europe trip with only 2 outfits and Crocs.

Traveling with a lively group of personalities? Ice Cream/Gelato and Coca Cola will become your-go-to companions! Picture three strong women and one husband/uncle—let's just say he single-handedly supported all the local ice cream shops in 4 countries.

Just for fun, I thought about linking ice cream shops around the world to this tip and stumbled upon ice cream tours. Would you believe it? There are ice cream tours in London, Portland, and then in Dubai where you get free ice cream on a tour!

No link attached, after all, this is something you have discover for yourself!

Cinque Terre in Italy, off the beaten path

Don't be afraid to explore off the beaten path!  Sometimes, you discover the most beautiful places. And remember, you don't have to do it alone. We found this hidden jewel, Cinque Terre through a tour guide.  Although we only visited 4 of the 5 towns, it was amazing!  Tour companies like Viator offer day trips to incredible destinations, such as the Scent of the Sea Cinque Terre Park Full Day Trip from Florence or a Excursion to Jungfraujoch, Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen from Lucerne.

Even if you're on vacation and decide you want to make the most of your time, you can easily arrange a last-minute tour. Just click the Cinque Terre image to  access Viator and schedule your guide. 

On my bucket list....Exciting tours are available for culinary and wine lovers, showcasing experiences from around the globe! Explore destinations from Italy and France to Napa Valley, California, Queens, New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and even Kansas City! There's something for everyone, and all you need are the right tools to discover them. Click on the Culinary image to access tours.

Woman on Kayak to signify safety tip

No matter your destination, remember Safety First! U.S. citizens traveling internationally should consider enrolling in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) via the U.S. Department of State. This complimentary service enables the State Department reach out to travelers during emergencies, offers travel advisories, and keeps them updated on safety and security conditions in their chosen location. Access the STEP program at https://mytravel.state.gov/s/step or click the Kayak image.

Mobile Passport Control is a mobile app developed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that allows travelers to submit their passport information and customs declaration form via their smartphone or tablet prior to arriving at the airport. The app is designed to expedite the traveler. 

I can personally attest that it works! So, remember to download it when traveling internationally. I’ve heard from several Global Entry travelers at various airports that MPC users often re-enter the U.S. much faster than those paying for Global Entry.

We went on our first international trip in March and had no idea how to plan this and of course waited till the last minute to start planning. A good friend suggested Francesca Beard (gobellavidatravel.com). We are so glad we contacted her. Even with short notice, she was able to book flights, hotels and several tours. And everything went off perfectly. She kept us updated on our flights and even checked periodically on us reminding us of upcoming tours and downloading tickets. Her professionalism and expertise is awesome!  She feels more like a friend than a travel agent. Give her a call. You will definitely be glad you did. - Jeff, Missouri

My husband’s Christmas gift to me this year was a trip to south Florida to visit the four National Parks down there.  He engaged Francesca Beard (gobellavidatravel.com) to make all the arrangements.  She really listened to our preferences and was amazing at offering us options at different price levels and uncovering many different things to do while there.  Even once our plans were made, she continued to look for better prices and new things to consider.  She was a joy to work with and made the trip feel like a true gift.  I highly recommend you have her plan your next adventure.  Kris, Texas

Curious about how I launched my own travel agency? It’s easier than you might think, doesn’t require a hefty startup, and the best part—you have complete control over your own future.

 

I hesitated at first too—but I’m so glad I went for it!
