About Rachel

My passion for travel started when I embarked on a six-week trip around America at the age of 22. With the use of Greyhound buses I embarked on an overland tour through Boston, Chicago, Nashville, Memphis, Philadelphia, Washington and New York. I had a bad case of wanderlust and upon my return, it wasn't long before I planned the trip of a lifetime. This year-long trip took me to Thailand, Singapore, Bali and Australia, and steered me to a career in travel. The memories will stay with me forever.

Less is more! Pick a couple of destinations and stay a day or two longer to really immerse yourself. Experience the culture and beauty around you instead of whizzing from place to place and only scratching the surface
