Custom
Itineraries
You're planning to travel and can't wait for this adventure!
But - maybe you're feeling short on time or don't love planning, or just want the guidance of someone who's been there before. That's where I come in 😊
I offer custom itinerary planning that will relieve you of the advanced research prior to your trip while allowing me to do something I genuinely love - sharing travel with others.
✅What I do
BEFORE your trip
1. Provide your itinerary
DURING your trip (ADD-ONS, for additional cost)
1. Restaurant Reservations (add-ons for Standard & Premium packages; included in Luxe package)
2. WhatsApp Support: literally a friend in your pocket during your trip for last-minute questions, research, or advice.
AFTER your trip
1. Send a post-trip survey to collect feedback about what you loved and what could have been better.
2. Request a Thatch review.
❌What I don't do
1. Book your flights or guided tours (I'll give you suggestions, though!).

ABOUT
Hi there, I’m Rachael, originally from Chicago, and I’ve been bitten by the travel bug for over a decade now. There’s just something about the whole process – from planning the trip to living it up in new places and then cherishing those memories afterward – that gets me all excited.
Even though I’ve got the whole family and work thing going on, my craving for adventure never fades. And I'm not bound by any one way of traveling - whether it's with my family, my partner, my girlfriends, or even venturing out solo, I embrace every opportunity to see the world.
I’ve come to realize that the world is like this giant storybook, and I’m all about sharing those stories. My goal is to inspire others to embrace their wanderlust, break out of their comfort zones, and start crafting their own unforgettable tales. Let’s explore the world together, one amazing destination at a time!

Questions

Is there guarantee in case I am dissatisfied in the service?
Is there a map view of the information I’m given?
Does the Thatch App work offline?
