My Travel Style
I treasure my vacation days, so I approach travel with a commitment to making the most out of every getaway. I seek out authentic experiences that allow me to immerse myself in new cultures, explore unique sights and activities, and unwind from the stressors of everyday life. Striking a delicate balance between finding great deals and splurging for special occasions, I also mix adventure with relaxation to ensure well-rounded holidays. Above all, I never compromise on creating unforgettable memories.

We actually booked a 26 day trip to Korea, Vietnam and Thailand. We did this on our own and not in a group tour setting. Rachel found amazing hotels and tours for us. She coordinated drivers to transport us from airports to hotels and the returns. She mapped out our daily itinerary with all confirmation numbers and needed information. It made the travel experience a breeze because we knew what to do each step of the way. The service Rachel gives is exceptional! She is highly professional and knowledgeable about the world and travel. If you want an easy travel experience filled with the things you want to see and do, then have her prepare your travel experience for you!

My favorite travel agent! Even though I lived in Seoul previously, Rachel found new hotels, restaurants, and places for me to explore in the city. She also organized amazing tours for my family.

Rachel organized a wonderful week-long family trip to Korea for us. Our group included people visiting for the first time and family who lived in Korea before. She selected excellent guides and tours that kept everyone entertained, and she made reservations at my preferred hotel in Seoul. When one tour was cancelled, she quickly arranged new plans for us.

Best part of working with Rachel is not having to lift a finger! She planned my entire trip to Vietnam down to the smallest details! She got to know what type of trip I wanted and found the perfect tours, hotels, and experiences for me. Including unique, out of the box ideas that I would not have thought of myself (like an artisan workshop tour in the countryside!)
