About
I'm the epitome of a "glampacker" turned connoisseur of luxury and boutique travel. With a passion for immersive cultural travel, you'll often find me mastering local cuisines in cooking classes during my adventures or on the beach with a cocktail in hand. I thrive on blending sophistication with authentic experiences to craft personalized journeys that redefine the art of travel.

Travel style
I'm an adventure seeker who loves to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations. Whether traveling solo or with a partner, I immerse myself in the local culture. I live for spontaneity and discovering new experiences on the go — but always research the basics beforehand. I appreciate unique accommodations that offer a local flavor.

Rachel's reviews
Rachel was excellent! Responsive, insightful / knowledgeable about the trip and its many parts, and got us AMAZING VIP treatment at each of our 4 properties! Will definitely book with her again.

Booked travel to Tokyo

Rachel found us on Reddit when we were bumping around in confusion, got us sorted right out and found a lovely place that worked just right for our too-short time-frame. Also good travel insurance which I really appreciated when my Jetblue plane evaporated suddenly! I will definitely ask for her help in the future.

Rachel is an absolute joy to work with. She helped me and my wife plan for what I would consider an impossible trip because of some of the remote locations we wanted to stay at. She has an expert in her field and an asset for any kind of trip planning.
