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.

This is my second time working with Rachel for booking travel, and I will continue to go to Rachel for all my travel support. She's efficient, attentive and great to work with. Her passion for helping others radiates with how much she invests in making your trip the best it can be. She checked in before my travel and during our stay to make sure everything was going as expected. Highly recommend Rachel and her services.
