Rachel is a public relations, communications and marketing professional who has been traveling since before she can remember. Growing up, her parents owned a travel agency as a side hustle; it’s always been a huge part of her life and a great source of happiness and relaxation. Fast forward to today, Rachel’s been planning travel excursions on her own with the help of her friends/travel companions – and typically little is planned in advance. When doing it on your own, it’s NEVER as easy as TripAdvisor or Yelp says. Here, you’re going to find all the tips and tricks, the highs and lows, the biggest laughs, the WTF? moments, the best Instagram opportunities, the over-hyped destinations, the nicest places to stay and everything in between. She learned it the hard way so you don’t have to.

Don’t be surprised if you sometimes catch some lifestyle content! Rachel loves makeup and skincare, fashion and a good brunch.
