Extraordinary Holidays.
Unforgettable Experiences.
I’m Rachael.
Your Travel Designer
I believe extraordinary is different for everyone. Some people find it on a campervan road trip through New Zealand. Others discover it by diving coral reefs or exploring ancient temples in Japan. Some need the freedom of wide-open spaces, while others crave culinary tours through Italy.
I’ve explored many countries – from months in South America to weeks interrailing through Eastern Europe. Each trip taught me that it’s not always about the destination. It’s the memories you create and how you experience them.
Now, I design holidays around what matters most to you – your style, your pace, your priorities.
My Planning Promise
Ease & Simplicity. I take care of everything, from research to bookings, so all you need to do is turn up and enjoy.
Designed Around You. Every itinerary is tailored to your style, pace, and priorities, with thoughtful touches along the way.
Memories That Last. I create trips that leave you feeling joyful, rested, and inspired long after you return home.
