Carla Manning
Owner · Valleygirl Travel Fresno
Hi, I'm Carla Manning, founder of Valleygirl Travel Fresno, a full-service travel agency based in Fresno, California. I started my agency in 2024 with a passion for helping people step away from the stress of everyday life and experience the joy, relaxation, and lasting memories that travel brings.
Before entering the travel industry, I dedicated 34 years to education, serving as an elementary school principal and continuing a four-generation family legacy in teaching. That experience shaped who I am today — someone who listens, cares, and is committed to guiding others every step of the way.
I specialize in honeymoons and destination weddings, working closely with couples to design personalized, stress-free trips. Having traveled to Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Dominican Republic, I bring firsthand knowledge to every itinerary I create.
"When you book with Valleygirl Travel Fresno, you're not just planning a trip — you're gaining a trusted partner who truly cares. Because with me, you always have a friend in Travel."
— Carla Manning, Owner
