Growing up in a well-travelled family, and having been away on many family holidays, exploring different countries and cultures comes naturally to Rachel. This thirst for travelling and discovery has taken her all around the world, from the likes of Jordan to South Africa alongside stints living in both the USA and Canada. These days, Rachel has developed a new-found passion for all things Scandinavia. Not only does the cold not put her off, she relishes winter adventures in the likes of Sweden's ICEHOTEL or Norway's adventure capital, Tromso. When it comes to city breaks and self-drives, Rachel's extensive experience in and around the Nordics includes everything from Copenhagen and Oslo to Bergen and Gothenburg, making her an expert in planning summer adventures across Scandinavia.
