Hi! We are Tori & Travis - The Bells.
We are parents to Brantley, dog parents to Tucker and Sadie, college sweethearts and call Charlotte home.
We love to travel, learn, and find ways to live life to the fullest. Our experiences have taught us to appreciate the small joys in life and to see the beauty in simplicity, sparking the idea for this blog – Simply Bellissimo Life.
We’ll be sharing our top travel tips, favorite itineraries, daily adventures, and snippets of what it means to us to live a simply Bellissimo life in hopes that is helpful to you as you plan your own adventures and live your own Simply Bellissimo Life.
About Tori
I grew up in New England – I’ve lived in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. I graduated from University of South Carolina with a degree in Marketing and ended up working in investment management, HR, and eventually consulting.
During my free time you can find me at the coffee shop with Travis and Brantley, heading to a yoga class, researching our next trip, or planning our next big (or small) life adventure.
Thank you for being here!
About Travis
I was born and raised in upstate South Carolina. I earned a bachelor’s degree in geography from the University of South Carolina before making the leap into Finance where I have obtained multiple licenses, my CFP designation, and most recently my MBA from Drexel University.
I’m a chronic over-committer, so anytime I’m not working or hanging with Tori and Brantley, I’m coaching, playing, and/or watching soccer (Charlotte FC!), serving on community boards, working on rental property investing, grabbing dinner with friends and family, or traveling. I love being busy, but I’ve found increasing joy in chasing the simply Bellissimo life!
