I'm Rachael

Your Independent Travel Designer

Travel has always meant more to me than a holiday. It's the moments that stay with you long after you're home, laughter in new places, time with the people you love, and destinations that surprise you in the best way.

I believe anything is possible when it comes to travel because I've lived it. From months in South America to interrailing across Eastern Europe, I've seen how every journey can feel completely different. That variety is what I love most, remote landscapes one trip, buzzing cities the next.

At home, I'm in rural Devon with my family, enjoying the quiet, but just as often heading into a city for a change of pace. That balance naturally shapes how I design travel too, space to slow down, and moments that bring energy and discovery.

Now I design holidays around you, your style, your pace, your priorities. From first idea to return home, I take care of every detail so you can simply enjoy it.

From inspiration to a journey made for you

I'll take care of everything.

I take your ideas, even the half-formed ones, and shape them into something real. A route that flows naturally, places that feel right, and experiences that bring everything to life.

With trusted, boots-on-the-ground partners in destination, every trip is shaped with real local insight. It means more authentic experiences and a holiday that feels considered and well connected.

Everything is designed with care, so you feel looked after from first conversation to return home.

How It Works

●

Dream

Tell me where you've always wanted to go - or let me inspire you. Whether you have a clear vision or just a vague feeling, we'll start with a proper conversation about what you're looking for.

Plan

I'll research, design and refine an itinerary built entirely around you. Accommodation, flights, transfers, experiences - every detail considered, every question answered, until it feels exactly right.

Travel

All you have to do is show up and enjoy it. I'm on hand throughout your trip, so if anything changes or goes wrong, you have a real person in your corner - not a call centre queue.

Bespoke tailor-made travel,
designed for you

Let's make sure you don't spend your holiday ticking boxes for someone else's perfect trip.

Your holiday, better than you imagined

I work with over 200 trusted partners, many based in destination, giving you access to local insight and experiences you wouldn't easily find otherwise.

From private transfers and airport lounges to carefully timed trains and onward connections, everything is thoughtfully arranged. I also liaise directly with the accommodation provider before you arrive, so your stay feels ready and considered from the moment you check in.
