EXPERIENCE

9+ Years

Rebecca has been part of the travel industry for nearly a decade – a Louisiana native who now calls the mountains of Hendersonville, North Carolina, home. What began as a part-time position quickly grew into a career she genuinely loves. One built around meaningful relationships and experiences that feel deeply personal to each client.

Rebecca believes that getting to know her clients on a deeper level is the key to curating unforgettable journeys. There is nothing more rewarding to her than hearing someone return home feeling inspired, refreshed, and changed by a new part of the world. With a passion for adventure and the outdoors – and a Bernedoodle named Blu for good measure – she brings the same curiosity and spirit to every itinerary she designs.

She believes travel is one of the most transformative experiences in life, offering the opportunity to learn about different cultures while deepening your understanding of yourself. Helping others fall in love with the world and create lifelong memories is what motivates her every day. If you ask her, she’ll gladly tell you she has the best job in the world.

Ask Me About

Authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences are what I love the most about travel. I am passionate about introducing clients to destinations that feel unique, immersive, and unforgettable – whether that means hiking through Patagonia, waking up for an early morning game drive in Africa, or discovering hidden gems far from the typical tourist path. I love encouraging clients to step outside their comfort zones and experience something deeply meaningful.
Anyone on the team will tell you – I love Spain. From its rich culture and incredible cuisine to its diverse landscapes and vibrant cities, Spain is a destination I never get tired of exploring.
What I love most is how every region offers a completely different experience, making it possible to enjoy multiple unique journeys all within one country. It remains one of my favorite destinations to plan, and one I continue to find inspiring with every itinerary.
Africa will always hold a special place in my heart. After visiting Botswana in 2025, I returned home truly changed. It’s rare to come back from a trip feeling as though a part of you has shifted, but safari has a way of doing exactly that.
I believe it’s something that can only truly be understood once experienced firsthand, and because of that, Africa remains one of the destinations I am most passionate about sharing with clients.

Client Insights | Rebecca

“We had a wonderful two-week trip to Italy with our group of 10! Rebecca did such a great job planning everything – we could not have done this without her. She was extremely helpful, patient, and always attentive. Highlights include L’Olmo in Tuscany with fantastic winery visits and cheese tastings, and our early morning Vatican tour with an incredible guide. We look forward to working with Rebecca again.”

"This trip was AMAZING and a literal summer dream vacation. Rebecca recommended Cap Estel, it was a dream of a hotel and right up our alley. This was our favorite part of the trip. We said we could have just stayed at this destination the entire trip - it was so fabulous. The Venice part of our trip was also lovely, and the Cipriani's renovations were fabulous. This was also an amazing recommendation by Rebecca. I also appreciate how Rebecca and Hanna thought of details like the transfers - things I wouldn't think about when booking a trip. Overall, they did a really amazing job planning this for us!"

"Our family trip to Costa Rica with Rebecca and Josi was incredible! Everything felt thoughtful and seamless, with the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and quality family time. The accommodations at Nayara and Andaz were top notch, the activities fantastic, and our local guides and drivers unforgettable. This is the kind of trip that creates lasting memories for the whole family!"
