About Me

Among all the destinations in the United States, Miami stands out as one of my absolute favorites. That is why I love working as a professional Miami travel agent advisor. According to local history, the nickname “Magic City”  was bestowed upon Miami as part of a successful marketing campaign back in 1896. That’s because of the city’s rapid growth over a remarkably short time. Also, Miami serves as a welcome gateway for Latin American travelers. When you’re transiting to or from destinations like Brazil, Mexico, Panama, or the Dominican Republic, Miami is a go-to stopover as well as a great way to enter the U.S.An Introduction to the Magic CityLet me introduce you to all the exciting attractions and activities that Miami offers. For example, if you love art, let me direct you toward the neighborhood of Wynwood - a district bursting with eye-catching murals and antique galleries - all which will transport you back in time. You’ll also love visiting the craft breweries where local artisans convene. Also, LIttle Havana offers an immersive experience into Cuban culture - a place where you can find authentic cigars, traditional guayaberas (Cuban shirts), Cuban artwork, electrifying live salsa entertainment, and some truly incredible Cuban cuisine.  I might suggest beginning your adventure with a cup of cafecito (Cuban coffee) while indulging in delicious pastelitos de guayaba (guava pastries. Also, no visit to Miami is complete without taking a dip in the warm and inviting waters along Miami Beach - with its luxury hotels and pulsating nightlife options. Miami Beach also boasts over 800 Art Deco Buildings - spanning over just one square mile!10 Miami Recommended Attractions and ActivitiesYou’re going to love your visit to Miami.

Kyoto in Spring
Reviewed By Olivia - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Kyoto | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Rachel planned the most incredible springtime trip to Kyoto for us, and she literally thought of everything! From our very first day, we knew exactly what to do thanks to her detailed daily itinerary complete with instructions on which trains or buses to take, making navigation incredibly easy. Seeing the cherry blossoms was absolutely incredible, and we loved wandering through Nishiki Market with all its amazing food and strolling through the Gion district in the evening – it felt so traditional and special. It was such a relaxing and unforgettable experience because Rachel handled all the logistics perfectly.
Rachel de Borja responded
"I'm so glad to hear you had an incredible time in Kyoto!"

One of the best trips ever
My husband and I did an extended trip to the Philippines and Rachel was instrumental in making it all come together. We did numerous islands and her expertise was invaluable - from great resort/hotel recommendations, amazing tours, and understanding local culture. Due to the time difference she even had a local agent in the Philippines that kept in contact with us the whole time to make sure the trip went smoothly. I can not say enough good things about Rachel and the wonderful job she did. I highly recommend Rachel - she is the best!!!

Our Unforgettable Philippines Honeymoon
Planning our honeymoon with Rachel was the best decision we made! From the moment we landed in El Nido to our adventures in Bohol, every detail was perfectly orchestrated, creating a dreamy and unforgettable experience. El Nido's pristine beaches and secluded islands set the stage for a romantic getaway like no other. Our stay at Pangulasian Island Resort was nothing short of magical. We enjoyed private boat tours to hidden lagoons, snorkeling in vibrant coral reefs, and amazing sunset cruises. Moving on to Bohol, we were captivated by its natural beauty and rich culture. Exploring the iconic Chocolate Hills was a highlight. We also immersed ourselves in the local culture with visits to centuries-old churches, encounters with tarsiers, and a scenic Loboc River cruise. The tranquil ambiance of Amorita Resort provided the perfect setting for romantic evenings under the stars. We are incredibly grateful for the memories we created during our honeymoon, thanks to Rachel.
