Meet Shelly, Your Luxury Travel Designer
Shelly Maffia, Certified Travel Advisor
Founder & Travel Advisor at VBS Travel
Hi, I’m Shelly Maffia — founder of VBS Travel, passionate explorer, and your go-to advisor for immersive escapes and hassle-free luxury travel.
Before launching VBS Travel, I spent years leading high-stakes operations and quality improvement projects in healthcare consulting. But I’ve always been called to something deeper — helping others discover the beauty of God’s creation through travel.
Today, I plan custom itineraries for clients who want to travel better — with intention, creativity, and VIP perks they can’t find online. From river cruises through Europe to bucket-list African Safaris, I bring a deep level of care, professionalism, and personal connection to every trip I plan.
