About Us

Chanté Owens is President of Operations for Chicks That Trip™. Prior to launching Chicks That Trip™ in 2008 with her business partner, Dawnielle Balli, Chanté has worked in the Insurance industry for over ten years and in other banking and customer service industries over the past twenty years. Throughout her working career, she has been privileged to have traveled for both work and pleasure worldwide. She loves the experience of traveling and feels that whether you are traveling on business or pleasure, it is an opportunity to see the sights and sounds of a place you’ve never been before, and should not simply be a way to “check the box,” to say you’ve been, but to actually savor and enjoy a new adventure whether it be Boise, Idaho or Paris, France. Chanté realizes that there are a myriad of issues surrounding the world of travel today, and she understands the uncertainty of traveling to a new place and some of the frustrations that can take place. Given her prior work in the insurance industry, she knows very well that in this day and age, travel is not only a luxury, but is rapidly becoming a necessity in this ever changing global marketplace.
