Specializing in Luxury Cruises, Resorts and Tours
I personally learned early on the truth behind the science that says "experiences bring more life satisfaction than material possessions". I have been traveling the world for over 30 years and have visited over 50 countries and 5 continents focused on adventure and luxury experiences. Some of my favorite destinations have been Africa, Thailand, Greece, France, Mexico, U.K. and Iceland. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Hospitality and have worked within the hotel industry managing all areas over several brands for nearly 5 years. I have also successfully sold high-end real estate for almost 20 years in Florida and California and know both states from the North to the South well. I am passionate about providing a high level of service while helping others create unforgettable memories and fulfill their dreams the way I have. Others have described me as very detailed, organized, hardworking, patient and outgoing. I have been known to make things happen even when others say it can't be done.

My Travel Stories
Awesome Agent!
Reviewed By Susan - San Diego, California | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Rachel has been my travel agent for several years, traveling internationally and domestically. She is well traveled, which has been a huge advantage for me. Rachel schedules my transfers and they’ve always been timely. I take her suggestions, as she has traveled to places I like to go and that is quite helpful. She shops around for the best prices, as I usually travel solo. That saves me lots of money, if I’m flexible. If you’re looking for a top notch agent, give Rachel a try.

Rachel is an Amazing Travel Agent! She took all of my concerns/anxieties of being a new ‘world traveler’ and replaced my fears with excitement and such a sense of new adventure!

Our Dream 50th Anniversay Trip!
Reviewed By Peggy and Rick - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Europe
Rachel was very proactive in getting us in the desired locations. We were very busy and kept delaying our selections, so the destinations were not always available when we went back to book. Rachel adjusted it all very patiently and was able to get something of like kind. We told her a few of the places that we had to see and asked for other suggestions. All of it went smoothly and we could not be more pleased. We look forward to future trips and we know that Rachel covers all different types of travel and knows it inside and out so it will alleviate us having to research it.

The Best of the Greek Islands!
Reviewed By Cody & Lisa - CALIFORNIA | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Rachel was amazing from minute one! We had never been to Europe and were a bit overwhelmed by the process of visiting the multiple islands we'd wanted to experience in Greece. Rachel planned all of our destinations down to the T with featured experiences like private tours and boat excursions. From island to island we we're provided private drivers transfers ferry tickets and more! All of our hotels were boutique and 5 stars with beautiful rooms in perfect locations tucked away close within the island's best areas. We'd highly recommend Rachel for any travel needs or accommodations we will be using her for our next trips going forward.

WE HAD AN AWESOME TIME!
Reviewed By JULIE - SAN DIEGO, CA | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Rachel was very pro-active, patient. detailed, diligent & communicative with us. Although we booked our trip months in advance, Rachel still made sure she kept in touch with us and informed us of any details, big or small along the way. She spent a lot of time searching all of her resources to ensure she got us the best deal within our means for our hotel and flight package. Rachel is a world traveler of many years which in turn, makes her a very well-rounded travel agent. I'm sure that there is not a question Rachel cannot answer or a situation she has not already experienced herself. Why would you spend the time and energy planning your next trip when Rachel can do it for you?!
