My Story
Midwest girl who went west and made California home. An executive assistant who also loves to assist herself to the beach.
My Travel Style
After traveling on many group trips, I've learned what makes the experience smooth for all involved. If it's my turn to plan, I'm torn between an ocean retreat or a getaway in the mountains and will always opt to spend as much time outside as possible.

Rachel is an absolute rockstar. I see her at church regularly, and when my husband was struggling to book a weekend for our anniversary due to outrageous prices, I figured I would ask her for some tips. By the next day, she sent me a few recommendations, and we decided to go with The Pendry. It was the best decision we could have made. The prices were reasonable, and the amenities were outstanding. Rachel took care of every detail to the point where the staff knew our names and what we were celebrating, making it incredibly special. Once our trip was complete, Rachel even followed up to ensure our checkout process was as seamless as our check-in. If you need help with travel or booking, Rachel is the best, and she will take great care of you. BOOK HER!

Rachel was amazing to work with: very professional, on top of communication and reminders, answered all our questions, and helped us look at all the options to make the best vacation. She even notified hotels for us that it was our honeymoon, and some of them gave us complimentary upgrades! She did a lot of the work and research so we could have a wonderful, stress-free vacation!

Rachel was such a pleasure to work with! She thought of every detail to help us celebrate my husbands birthday and went over and beyond! We couldn’t be happier with all the hard work she put into. She got us credit for the Pendry and was able to do a late check out as requested. She was effective in her communication and shown professionalism via Pendry and myself. We are so blessed to have her! We will definitely contact Rachel for our next vacation!

Rachel being our travel agent was such a wonderful experience! Rachel took out the stress of planning a family vacation, stayed within our budget, and found us a great hotel in the exact location we wanted. Plus she even helped us found a family photographer for photos on the beach! I would 100% recommend booking your trip through Rachel.

My travel ideas (2)

Girls' Trip to Newport Beach, Orange County, California
Orange County seems to have it all. Countless beaches of all sizes and vibes, all within a short drive of the desert, mountains, or city life in Los Angeles or San Diego. However, once you’re here, chances are high you won’t want to leave. Newport Beach is the perfect destination for a girls weekend, offering a great balance of shopping, exploring and restful activities.

Honeymoon in Laguna Beach, Orange County
A town known for its collection of small cove beaches (30 in total!), Laguna Beach is a unique slice of Orange County with a laid-back yet sophisticated vibe. It’s the perfect place to land for a week to relax on a honeymoon, with a feeling of being secluded from the hustle of Orange County and Southern California.
It’s also located smack-dab in the middle of OC, so if you are itching to see more of this beautiful part of the country, it is a short drive to San Clemente, Dana Point, Newport Beach and other coastal cities.
I currently live in Costa Mesa and spend lots of time down in Laguna — Crescent Bay is one of my favorite places in the whole world to watch the sunset! I’ve also spent some time poolside at the Montage, and the last time I was there I was thinking how perfect the resort would be for a honeymoon. Combine a beautiful property with great art and restaurant options nearby, and you have the perfect destination for a couple looking to relax oceanside in California.
