LEAH VAN ZILE
“One’s destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things.” — Henry Miller
As a small business owner and passionate traveler, I know how much trust it takes to hand over your travel plans—and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is to be your “easy button” for travel: your personal travel designer who makes the process seamless, exciting, and completely tailored to you.
Every itinerary I create reflects your story. I listen closely, add thoughtful touches, and bring your travel dreams to life—whether it’s a cozy resort that fits your family perfectly or a once-in-a-lifetime experience you didn’t even know was possible.
It’s never just about logistics—it’s about people. Your milestones, your escapes, your memories in the making. I’m with you every step of the way to make sure you feel supported, inspired, and cared for.
Let’s take that travel dream you’ve been thinking about—and turn it into something real, memorable, and completely yours!

A Little More About Me
For over 30 years in corporate America, my focus has been building relationships and delivering exceptional customer service. Travel has always been a lifelong passion, and when Tara and I founded TravelLife Travel Co., it was the perfect way to combine both—fulfilling my dream of small business ownership while sharing my love of travel with others.
I find such joy in helping clients plan their most meaningful vacations—whether it’s your first or tenth cruise, a destination wedding, anniversary getaway, babymoon, friend trip, bucket-list adventure, or family holiday. Each trip is an honor to plan, and I hold that responsibility close to my heart.
Outside of travel planning, I’m a proud mom of three daughters, a stepson, and a sweet springer spaniel named Tito. In June 2025, I traveled to Greece with my three daughters and a group of fellow Northwoods travelers—an incredible experience that has only deepened my love of seeing the world. Now, I’m excited for my next adventure, wherever it may lead!
If you’re eager to explore the world but don’t know where to start, that’s where I come in. I’ll take the stress out of planning so you can simply enjoy your journey. In this ever-changing, fast-paced industry, I stay ahead of the curve by investing in ongoing learning and certifications, ensuring my clients always receive the best advice and up-to-date knowledge.
So, why choose TravelLife Travel Co.? Because we are truly passionate about what we do, and our clients are always at the heart of everything.
