My Story

Passionate about helping people take a break from their routines through travel! While I'm currently in Buffalo with my partner and our cats, I've lived in Ohio, the Bay Area and even briefly Paris.

Travel Style

I design travel experiences that reflect each client's unique style and goals with an emphasis on balance -- structured enough to ensure you don’t miss your must-do experiences, while still allowing the flexibility to enjoy and explore what you discover along the way. My goal is to make travel feel effortless, memorable and truly yours so you can spend less time stressing and more time getting excited about your trip. Whether you're planning your first big international adventure or a quick weekend getaway, we will plan collaboratively to ensure you have your ideal trip!

Rachel was the key to us having a smooth and unforgettable trip. She puts in a lot of work to make sure your trip is personalized to your interests and travel style, and her knowledge of Japan helped us tremendously. My favorite part of working with her was the emails she sent the day before a new location with all the info we would need like check in, trains, and tour info. It was all in her online itinerary anyway but it was nice to have an email to summarize it. She walked us through what to expect with airport and train station arrivals since we had no clue what to expect with it being our first international trip. Our trip could not have gone any easier. 10/10, I would choose Rachel again and again.

Rachel was fantastic to work with! She made the entire planning process easy and seamless, and helped us put together a wonderful trip. When one of our tours was unexpectedly canceled, she immediately stepped in and made sure we received a refund, which we really appreciated.

All the activities we wanted to do were perfectly organized, and everything came together smoothly. Rachel made the whole experience simple and stress-free. We would absolutely work with her again!

We had truly the trip of a lifetime to Japan thanks to Rachel! Rachel booked meals, experiences, and accommodations that I would have never found through any research of my own. Upon our initial meeting she was genuinely excited to understand our interests, timeline, and budget, and developed multiple options for each aspect of our trip to select from. She is incredibly organized and we relied on her custom Google Map and daily itinerary guide, creating stress-free days and allowing us to be present in the special moments of our trip. Rachel was immediately responsive to any questions during our trip. We would not have had such an immersive, once-in-a-lifetime experience without her expertise! We are already looking forward to working with her in the future.

Rachel goes above and beyond to build the perfect trip and experience. She thinks of every little detail so that you do not have to lift a finger during your time abroad. Her check-ins are super helpful and she takes all the guess work out of the planning process. We trust her completely to put together the most memorable trips. Our vacation to Peru was once in a lifetime and it would not have been made possible without all the hard work that Rachel put into making it happen. We can’t wait for more travels to come with Rachel at the helm!

Rachel was absolutely fantastic. She was kind, communicative, and accommodating when we had delayed response times due to our schedule. Overall, we feel like she nailed the activities we’d be interested in and set us up with some really cool places. We definitely would not have discovered some of these experiences, especially the unique vineyards, without her. There was so much taken care of for us that we didn’t have to consider, which made our vacation relaxing and mostly seamless. It was so fun reading itineraries for each place the day before and she always had the details clearly laid out. We would absolutely book with Rachel again for future travel.
