Rachel Svec

Hi, I’m Rachel. After years in the corporate travel world, I traded boardrooms for beachfronts and mountaintops — and I’ve never looked back. Since 2018, I’ve been designing unforgettable, highly personalized journeys with The Travel Fairy, and I truly love what I do.

My passion is helping travelers turn dream trips into reality. I believe the best travel experiences go far beyond sightseeing — they’re about authentic connections: meeting locals, savoring regional cuisine, and uncovering those hidden-gem places most tourists miss. Guided by my own curiosity and wanderer’s spirit, I craft meaningful adventures designed to create lasting memories.

I specialize in Europe (Italy, Portugal, Spain, Croatia), Japan, Kenya, India, Argentina, and the Caribbean, as well as ultra-luxury cruises and curated group trips — from multi-generational escapes and milestone celebrations to honeymoons and girls’ or guys’ getaways. I also love planning wellness and wine retreats, yacht excursions, and weaving in creative personal touches like themed evenings and interactive experiences that bring each journey to life.

Some of my favorite destinations? India, Argentina, Italy’s Dolomites, Kenya, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Prague, Hawaii, Turkey, Iceland, the Galápagos, Mexico City, Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, Cabo, Jackson Hole, and Telluride.

Travel tip: My go-to packing hack is simple but genius — slip a shower cap over the soles of your shoes to keep the rest of your suitcase clean.

Under-the-radar favorite: If you’re seeking somewhere truly special, Slovenia is a hidden gem — from the storybook streets of Ljubljana to the glassy emerald waters of Lake Bled, it blends Alpine beauty, rich culture, and Mediterranean charm without the crowds.

Let’s explore the world together — one unforgettable adventure at a time.
