About
Consider me your Executive Producer of travel! As a TV industry veteran, I developed a deep passion for exploring different parts of the world and organizing travel. This passion eventually led me to pivot my career towards travel advising, where I can now share the joy of travel with others and help create unforgettable experiences.
Travel style
While my early travels weren’t always to the most glamorous destinations (we won’t name names!), I discovered a love for exploring the world firsthand. Now, I'm passionate about bringing a personal and luxurious touch to each itinerary, ensuring that your journey will be unique, authentic and comfortable. It’s about experiences tailored to your desires, helping you discover the world on your terms. I take the hassle out of planning and bring joy to your travel experiences, by designing trips that excite and inspire you.

Raquel's reviews
After Hurricane Beryl hit Grand Cayman, Raquel helped us pivot our babymoon in less than 24 hours from The Ritz in Grand Cayman to The Ritz in Aruba. Without Raquel's help I don't think we would have still been able to go to the Caribbean during the timeframe we had planned for, and we are so grateful to her for her attention to details and sense of urgency in assisting us. We also got free breakfast and upgraded to a better room because we used her, which was amazing!

This was another amazing find by Raquel. There were not many hotel options available in the area we wanted to be in with short notice and over a holiday weekend. Working with her on my travel for this trip was a huge time saver for me and she found hotels I wouldn't have come across on my own. When Raquel found Borgo Sentinella, it became the place we were most excited to stay in for our vacation in Puglia. It was within our budget and exceeded our expectations. I couldn't believe she found a hotel just minutes away from one of the best beaches I have ever experienced in my travels. I am excited to book my next vacation with Travel By Rocky and highly recommend her services!

Raquel is the best travel advisor I have ever worked with. She really took to heart what we were looking for in a hotel and location. When she found Hotel Baia Delle Zagare, we couldn't believe it was within our budget! She put together a detailed itinerary for us and was quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the booking process. I will definitely be going back to Raquel from Travel By Rocky for her services when booking my next vacation!
