Planning a trip should feel exciting, not like a second job. When you work with Rachelle as your travel advisor, you get an insider who pairs real, firsthand travel experience with industry connections most travelers don’t have access to on their own. That means less time buried in browser tabs comparing options, expert planning built around how you actually want to travel, and often VIP perks and upgrades you wouldn’t get booking direct, all at little to no extra cost to you.
That’s what working with Rachelle as your Fora Travel Advisor gets you, and it costs you nothing extra. Advisors are compensated by travel suppliers, not clients, so you get expert planning at the same price (often better, thanks to advisor perks) as booking it yourself. She handles the logistics (transfers, hotel and tour bookings, itinerary details) so you get the most out of your trip without doing all the legwork yourself.
While Rachelle’s deepest expertise is in culinary travel and European river cruising, as a Fora Advisor she plans all kinds of trips: resort vacations, city breaks, multi-generational family trips, milestone celebrations, and more. If you don’t see your exact trip type below, reach out anyway. Between her own experience and Fora’s connections and resources, she can make it happen.
What Rachelle Specializes In
Culinary Travel Trips built around food: market tours, wine regions, 
cooking classes, and restaurants worth flying for. If the best part of travel for you is the table, this is home turf.
River Cruising From the Danube’s ten countries to the vineyard-lined Moselle, Rachelle has the firsthand knowledge (and the resource site, ActiveVoyager.com) to match you to the right river, the right line, and the right itinerary.
Group & Multi-Generational Trips Planning for a family or coordinating a group of friends across time zones and preferences is its own skill. Rachelle has managed both, including planning a women’s retreat.
Why Work With an Advisor
- No cost to you: advisors are paid by suppliers, not added to your bill
- Personalized planning: your trip is tailored to your taste, pace, and budget, not a one-size-fits-all package
- Insider access: perks, upgrades, and details you won’t find booking direct
- All the logistics, handled: transfers, hotel and tour bookings, and itinerary planning are taken care of
- Someone in your corner: if something goes sideways mid-trip, you have a real person to call, not a hold queue
- Firsthand expertise: recommendations based on where Rachelle has actually been, not just where she’s been pitched
