About Lia

Family travel shouldn't require hours of research to decode a single airline's policy. But for years, Lia watched parents ask the same questions again and again — Can I bring formula through TSA? Will my car seat fit in this seat? Will the airline actually seat me next to my child?

These are the right questions. The problem was the answers. Parents were getting a flood of conflicting information from forums, comment sections, and well-meaning strangers — often leaving them more confused than before they asked.

Lia built Velivolo to be the definitive resource for families who fly. As a certified CPST with credentials in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, she combined her expertise with technology to give every parent instant access to verified airline policies, trusted gear recommendations, and expert consultations.

Her work has been recognized by Brian Kelly, founder of The Points Guy, in his book “How to Win at Travel.” Through her influential Instagram presence, Lia provides how-to videos on car seat installation, expert advice on advocating for children's safety in the air, and solutions for common travel challenges.
