Rachael Waller | About Me
Anything is Possible
Travel Designed
Just for You
Whether it's a twin centre holiday, a seamless family escape, or something entirely your own, anything is possible.
Start PlanningIf you want a holiday that feels truly your own, not pieced together from endless tabs or built around what everyone else is doing, you are in the right place. Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with family or as a group, you might be juggling different interests, short on time, or simply want it done properly without second guessing every decision.
Having travelled widely myself, I know that anything is possible with the right planning, and that is exactly what I bring to you. At Blue Turtle Escapes, I design tailor made holidays that feel considered, personal, and effortless to bring together, turning your ideas into a seamless trip that feels right from the very start.
Rachael Waller
Owner & Travel Specialist
Travel has always been something I've genuinely loved. Not just about going somewhere new, but how it feels while you're there and who you're sharing it with.
I've experienced it at both ends of the scale, from crossing the Peru-Brazil border in an unlicensed taxi to stays where everything simply flows. That contrast shapes how I plan now. Travel should feel comfortable, considered, and easy.
Almost anything is possible with the right planning. My role is to take your ideas and turn them into something that actually happens, properly planned and ready for you to enjoy.
My Favourite Destinations
Argentina for the brightly coloured buildings, the dancing, incredible steak, and that unique mix of European feel with the culture shock of South America, and Lake Bled for something completely different, with its stillness, clear blue water, the church set on its tiny island in the middle of the lake, the bracing cold that wakes you up, and that peaceful sense of stepping back in time.
Fun Facts About Me
I grew up in Cambridge and have gradually made my way to Tavistock via Bristol and Plymouth, a gentle south-westerly drift, just like a turtle.
I once met a group in Brazil and bumped into them again four years later in Cuba - proof of how small the world can feel.
Before this, I worked in risk and compliance. That background still shapes how I plan - with care, attention to detail, and everything thought through so your holiday feels effortless.
My Travel Style
I believe in creating comfortable, well-considered holidays where everything is taken care of, so you can relax and enjoy the journey.
It's about great food, beautiful spaces, and the right balance of adventure and time to switch off.
Behind The Name
The turtle reflects a considered way of travelling, calm, steady, and quietly capable of going great distances. Sea turtles cross entire oceans with ease, and that sense of possibility sits at the heart of what I do.
Blue Turtle Escapes is about journeys that feel comfortable and well planned, while still opening up a world of experiences that might feel far away, but are entirely within reach.
My Promises To You
what my clients are saying
"Rachael has gone above and beyond at every stage, helping research and source the right hotels, organising transfers for a large group with multiple arrival times, advising on ski and snowboard hire, lift passes, and even putting together a comprehensive guide for the whole group to follow during the trip.
It felt like having someone fully invested in making the trip a success, not just handling bookings. If you are planning any kind of group trip or ski holiday, I would not hesitate for a second to recommend her."
My goal is to become the person you trust to plan your travel.
