Phoenix Travel Agent

Hi! I'm Rachel, Your Phoenix Travel Agent

As your Phoenix travel agent—based right here in the beautiful Biltmore area—I’m passionate about curating extraordinary travel experiences for my clients. Imagine yourself discovering breathtaking destinations, savoring new cuisines, and connecting deeply with the culture and rhythm of a place—that’s the kind of travel I help design.

A Little About Me:

I grew up in Indiana, and graduated with my degree in Art History from Indiana University. I used to work in aerospace for NASA, and have spent years living across the U.S. Beyond Indiana, I have lived in Ohio, Minnesota, Texas, and now, Arizona. My entire Hoosier family has officially transplanted here, and this is where I've finished raising my two children. The first time I moved to the valley was as a new college grad back in 1996. Next, I moved to Houston, Texas in 1998 to start my family. I returned to Cicero, Indiana to care for my elderly grandmother and to continue raising my two young children. In 2014 we moved back to the valley to be closer to the rest of our family, and establish our own family base.  I now call Phoenix home, where desert sunsets, mountain hikes, and vibrant design inspire my creativity every day.

I've been fortunate to travel to 33 countries and counting, and with this wealth of experience, I can design personalized itineraries that cater to your specific interests and budget. Whether you crave a luxury river cruise, an ocean voyage, or a custom Italian escape or Greek adventure, I can transform your travel dreams into reality...from right here in Biltmore Phoenix!

My Specialties as Your Phoenix Travel Agent:
  • Luxury Cruises & River Cruises
  • VIP Hotel Bookings with Virtuoso Perks
  • International Family & Multi-Generational Travel
  • Honeymoon & Romantic Escapes
  • Villa Rentals with Concierge Services
  • Private Jet & Yacht Charters
  • Luxury Travel Planning for Arizona Executives & Retirees

Here's what sets me apart as the best Phoenix travel agent: 

Virtuoso Amenities:
As a Virtuoso travel advisor, I elevate your experience with VIP perks like daily breakfast, room upgrades, resort credits, and exclusive behind-the-scenes access on cruises and tours.

Insider Relationships:
Each week, I meet directly with luxury hotels, cruise lines, and tour partners around the world. My global network ensures that no matter where you go, I have someone on the ground looking out for you.

Personalized Planning:
I take time to understand your lifestyle, passions, and pace of travel. We’ll connect via Zoom or in person to discuss your goals and preferences. My approach is relationship-driven—never transactional—so your trip truly reflects you.

Deep Expertise:
Having explored more than 33 countries, I bring firsthand knowledge and continuous research to your journey. From the best European river cruises to the most luxurious Mediterranean resorts, I’ll match you with the ideal experience for your style.

Stress-Free Experience:
Let me manage the logistics—from flights and transfers to tours and dining—so you can focus on anticipation instead of coordination.

Ongoing Support:
From the moment we begin planning to the day you return home, I’m here to provide seamless support, answers, and reassurance.

Dining Recommendations:
I love curating restaurant lists tailored to your tastes—because great meals are the heartbeat of great memories.

My Signature Destinations

While I plan travel worldwide, my specialties include Italy, France, Greece, the UK, and Peru, along with luxury cruises through Europe and the Caribbean. I’m also an expert in river cruises, partnering with lines such as Regent, Explora, Silversea, Seabourn, Crystal, Viking, and Tauck.

As your Phoenix travel agent, I have an inventory of vetted villas all around the world that come with a concierge service. I also can do private jets and yacht charters. Currently, my top countries are France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and Croatia but it changes year to year. (Iceland, Greece, and Croatia are often in my Top 10.) I also send a lot of families to Alaska!

My background in the aerospace industry means I’m also highly analytical—show me the data!—and I will help you get the best value. To be clear, not the lowest cost. But the best value. 

My Favorite Places in the World...

Paris will always have my heart (as the first international trip with my children), but Italy, London, Greece, and Peru are close behind. I adore Alaska for families and Morocco for cultural adventure. As your Phoenix travel agent, let me help you too discover the world and add to your country count too.  

My Phoenix Favorites:

Living in the Biltmore area means I’m surrounded by some of the city’s best spots. When I’m not crafting itineraries, you’ll often find me:

  • Breakfast: OSO, The Henry, or AJ's Fine Foods Bakery (for the phenomenal chocolate eclairs)
  • Lunch: Chelsea’s Kitchen or Hula's Grill
  • Dinner: Tarbell’s, Federal Pizza, or Taco Guild, or anything Thai!

Ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure?

I offer complimentary vacation consultations to discuss your travel aspirations. Connect with me, your Phoenix travel agent, and I’ll transform your travel dreams into a reality. I always meet clients over Zoom to get to know you. I do not have a physical storefront unfortunately! But once we’ve decided to work together, I am happy to review your final itinerary with you in person in Phoenix, if it makes sense. I work with a lot of older clients in Phoenix who really appreciate this.

Let’s Plan Your Trip!

As your Phoenix travel agent, I’d love to help you plan your next adventure.
