Rome from the top of St. Peter's Basilica
I have been traveling my entire life whether around the corner or across the “pond” there is no trip on which I’m not ready to embark. I have taken cross country road trips when moving from East coast to West coast and traversed I-95 North to South visiting 47 out of 50 the United States including Alaska and Hawaii.
Through the years I have taken multiple cruises on several different lines visiting ports in the Caribbean, Europe and Alaska. All of my vacations have been with family and some have included friends as well. Finding new places, food and culture are things I enjoy discovering through travel.
While nothing compares with visiting a destination to help guide others in their vacation planning I feel that training is essential to being able to take care of and plan an amazing vacation. With that in mind I have completed training for Princess, Norwegian, Oceania and Regent Cruise lines. I have completed training for several resort and tour companies as well. I have become a destination expert for a variety of places which gives me the ability to plan the perfect vacation whether you want adventure, culture, relaxation or romance. In addition, I continue to listen to webinars and attend industry events that broaden and enhance my knowledge.
Putting together the ultimate vacation takes time, research and planning. My experience allows me to consider all the details whether it’s airline tickets, car rental, hotel reservations or tickets for a park, museum or show. I can help you find the right cruise line and itinerary to match your wants and needs as well as maximizing your value. From land tours, hotels, all-inclusive resorts, cruises, honeymoons, yacht charters, car rentals, villa and condo rentals I have the experience and resources to help you plan the perfect vacation.

Highly recommend!

We just returned from our European trip. Such an awesome experience. Traveled with my son and his friend. Everything was so well planned that they got to see so much more than I thought was possible. Rachel did a great job and even checked in on us while we were gone. Can’t wait to plan the next trip!

Amazing honeymoon experience thanks to Rachel!
Reviewed By Tyler - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Rachel is extremely detail oriented and on top of things. We are so thankful we used her services because there were so many little details we didn't have to worry about (COVID protocols, transportation from the airport, excursions, etc). She researched a variety of options and ultimately came to the Excellence El Carmen in Punta Cana. We had the best time and highly recommend Rachel!

The perfect honeymoon!
Reviewed By Sara J - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
My experience working with Rachel was simply fantastic. She is so kind, and went so far out of her way to make our honeymoon better than we could have ever imagined! One of our flights was canceled the night before we were supposed to leave, and she was on the phone with me late trying to make sure we got it all figured out. She sent us a bottle of champagne and a note to our room, that was waiting for us when we checked in! If you're considering using Rachel as your travel agent, just trust me and do it. She is such a wonderful person, and made our experience seamless and fun!

Most helpful travel agent, EVER!
Reviewed By Steve and Cathy - Jacksonville, Florida | Traveled to Mediterranean ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Rachel provided the best and most personalized travel planning for our family vacation - and it was a big trip with 17 people (from 5 different cities) in our group covering Italy, Greece and Turkey. Then during the trip she was always just a phone call away to answer questions or make a few adjustment when we needed them. We will never use anyone else for our future travels!

Dream Honeymoon!! Rachel is amazing!
Reviewed By Elise - Atlanta, Georgia | Traveled to St. Lucia ~ Caribbean
Rachel did an amazing job helping us plan our honeymoon!! When I first talked with her we weren’t sure exactly where we wanted to go, so she found multiple different resorts for us to choose from. We ended up choosing St. Lucia and staying at the Royalton at the Hideaway. Rachel did an amazing job staying in contact with us and giving us all the information we needed for the trip. She even gave us credits to use at the resort for an excertion. She was there for us 24/7 to answer any questions we had. Before we left for our trip she gave us a folder with all the information we needed for the flight, transportation to the resort, and the resort information. She also including some travel tips for us. Rachel was also available anytime we had questions on our honeymoon as well. Rachel is so sweet, personable, organized and so fun to work with! We will be using Rachel in the future!!
