Hello!

I’m Rachel, and I’m a self-proclaimed “Type A” who loves planning trips ALMOST as much as I love taking trips!

I took my first “big” trip internationally seven years ago, and while it was (mostly) incredible, there’s a lot that I would do differently if I were planning that same trip now.

One of my proudest planning moments was calculating my total trip cost after a ten day cruise to Greece and Italy and realizing that the entire trip cost the same amount as the flight alone had cost on my first European trip!

I have learned so much about the best way to approach planning – both to ensure I have the best experience possible and to ensure I am not paying more than I should – and I am thrilled to share my knowledge with you.
