Travel style
I'm a firm believer in the mantra of stress less, travel more - I'm a project manager/spreadsheet traveler turned travel advisor and can help you do just that! I’ve traveled and planned as a cost-conscious student in Europe, luxe all-inclusives in the Caribbean, group/bachelorette trips and honeymoons - including my own. I've done a little bit of everything, which means I will help you get the best trip out of your vision and budget.

Rachel's reviews
Rachel helped us plan the perfect California getaway. It was a quick trip but every aspect was planned beautifully. The hotel in Healdsburg was so unique and classy and extremely well-located. The Palace Hotel in San Francisco was magnificent. The service was top-notch. We had so much fun sitting in the lobby bar which was exquisite and listening to music and enjoying a drink. The tour of Muir Woods and Sausalito fit perfectly into our schedule and left enough flexibility to do other things as we requested. I will definitely use Rachel to plan future vacations and strongly recommend her excellent attention to detail.

Portugal was amazing! We loved every minute of it (some rainy weather in Porto aside). The tours and apartment you helped us book were great. Thanks so much for all of your help in planning this with us. It was super helpful having so many different options and a comprehensive list of things to do in the cities we visited. Based on our initial email that outlined what we were hoping to do, it really felt like you listened and catered the options to things we'd enjoy and took into account our group's variety of dietary restrictions.

Rachel listened to our needs and made great recommendations. She was very responsive and provided us with great suggestions for dining and activities. Honestly, Rachel recommended a hotel that we decided was a little bit more than we wanted to spend. In hindsight, we regret not choosing Rachel’s first suggestion. We visited that hotel and regretted our decision; not because there was anything wrong with the place we chose but because Rachel’s first suggestion was so perfect for us- well located, ultra service oriented and just cool. Next time we will follow Rachel’s suggestion. I will definitely book with Rachel again and have already recommended her to others for their travel needs.
