About
An obsessive researcher and itinerary planner. Mom to two boys and a large Goldendoodle, wife to Max.
Travel style
For me, travel is about exploring the unknown, meeting new people and tasting delicious food through both luxury and down-to-earth experiences. It is finding the balance between planning extensive itineraries, yet also being open to spontaneous adventures along the way.

Rachel's reviews
We used to think that travel agents were unnecessary - or a luxury - in the age of Google, but Rachel completely changed our perspective. When we found ourselves facing a complicated, last-minute overhaul of an international trip, with exorbitant flight prices, she stepped in and worked wonders. Not only did she find a way to save us thousands of dollars without sacrificing any comfort, but she also went above and beyond every step of the way. Rachel stayed up late, personally guiding us through each detail, and when we finally arrived at the hotel, we were greeted with a thoughtful surprise—champagne and a handwritten note from her. Her dedication and personal touch made all the difference. We can't recommend Rachel highly enough!

Rachel Gunter was amazing!! She made planning our trip easy and seamless. She took all the stress out of it. Rachel listened and come through on all requests. She also made wonderful suggestions as well. She was always available and would respond in a timely manner. We had a couple of transfer changes we needed to make while we were away and Rachel was on it! Not only was Rachel an excellent planner but she's also a lovely person! I can't wait to work with her again on our next trip!

Hidden Pond was such a unique hotel that we wouldn’t have booked without Rachel’s guidance — and we’re so glad that we did! From start to finish she made the process so easy and seamless. Rachel is super knowledgeable about all vacation getaways and gave us tons of options for our baby moon. Once we landed on Maine, she had the most helpful recommendations from start to finish and also surprised us with hotel perks upon arrival. I can’t thank her enough and will definitely be working with Rachel for all my future trips!!!

Working with Rachel made our 40th wedding anniversary trip unforgettable. She understood our wants and needs, and fulfilled them superbly, from the accommodations & welcoming gifts, to the travel transfers and car rental, to the individual daily tours & activities. She was always available to discuss options and answer questions, during the planning stage, as well as while we were on the trip. Rachel was wonderful to deal with. We will use her for all our travel needs from here on. We have already highly recommended her to others.
