My name is Valerie Phelps, and I have always believed that travel is more than just a getaway—it’s an experience that connects, inspires, and transforms. My love for travel began in childhood as I accompanied my family on trips across the United States, igniting a lifelong passion for exploring new destinations and creating meaningful experiences.

In 2004, I founded Travel by Vee after a friend encouraged me to turn my passion for planning unforgettable experiences into a profession. My journey in organizing travel actually began years earlier while serving as a Youth Choir Director, coordinating trips across multiple states. Those experiences helped shape my ability to create seamless, personalized itineraries that turn ordinary travel into extraordinary memories.Today, my expertise spans luxury travel and curated group experiences, with a special focus on milestone celebrations, social group travel, wellness experiences, and exclusive retreats. Having explored breathtaking destinations including the Greek Islands, Mexico, Africa and the Caribbean, I’m able to provide my clients with first-hand recommendations and elevated service tailored to their unique vision.I am deeply committed to professionalism, excellence, and creating experiences with intention. Through my personalized consultation and research process, I ensure that every detail is thoughtfully designed to bring each client’s travel dreams to life with precision and care. Through both Travel by Vee, I continue to help travelers experience the world in ways they’ve never imagined.

Beyond travel planning, I enjoy exploring new destinations myself, reading, and spending quality time with my beloved GrandPrince, Braylen, who brings so much joy to my life.
