Meet the Travelbees!

Just because you have kids, doesn’t mean you can’t stay at beautiful and inspiring places. At Travelbees we connect style-loving conscious families with stylish, conscious & family-friendly properties.

You might wonder if it’s even possible to combine these elements when it comes to travel and kids. Oh yes, it is. Our community of Travelbees has done the searching and screening for you and written their findings down in concise reviews.

Hours of searching will be saved and tons of property tips gaine. Because no one can review a property better than a likeminded parent. We make sure that your holidays will be filled with indulging moments, and full of experience for the kids.

Go create those magical memories that will last a lifetime. Together, we’ll make sure that planning your next holiday is just as great as the trip itself. Are you in? Join now for free here.

TRVLBEES PROPERTIES

At Travelbees we find hotels and hideaways with a heart important. Properties that are conscious about the social and environmental impact they have on their surroundings. We also love staying at properties that inspire you for your own home with their unique decoration and attention to detail.

Finally, we of course want to have all necessary amenities to make our stay with kids comfortable. This is why we rate all our properties in terms of consciousness, stylishness and family-friendliness – you’ll read all about it in our member’s reviews of the properties. Do you have a great property tip or are you a property interested in being featured on TRVLBEES – let us know by leaving a message here.

THE TRVLBEES TEAM

DEBBY VAN VIERSEN
Founder

Debby is one of the founding Travelbees who got passionate about the travel business while visiting many countries around the world and working in a hotel in the US. After all that, she became a marketing and communications expert. On her trips she’s accompanied by her partner Floris and their three kids Alexander (2008), Valerie (2010) and Nicolas (2015). 

She realizes that travel overall is not sustainable, and she therefore wants to encourage herself and other people to be more environmentally conscious when making travel related decisions by asking questions such as: Do I fly or can I take the train or car, do I really need to choose that far away destination or is a destination closer by also attractive. She loves properties with a soul that care for the environment around them. This can for instance be expressed in the use of sustainable materials, employment of locals and use of local/organic produce in their restaurant.

FELICIA DA COSTA

Together with her husband Corné and children Alba and George, Felicia travelled the world for six months in 2018 .
