About Me

Travel Specialist

My journey as a travel advisor began with my own passion for exploring the world, seeking out unique experiences, discovering new cultures, and planning seamless itineraries for friends and family. What started as a personal love for adventure has grown into a thriving business built entirely on word of mouth and referrals. Now celebrating two years in business, I specialize in crafting thoughtful, personalized travel experiences with a flexible approach because no two trips or travelers are ever the same.

I focus on creating memorable, enriching journeys that reflect each client’s travel style, whether it’s an active, adventure packed itinerary, a flavorful and indulgent food and wine focused journey, or a culturally immersive escape through Europe. I work closely with trusted, in-destination travel partners and invest time and care into every itinerary I design. My clients value the time saving, stress reducing, and budget maximizing support I provide, helping them travel wisely with confidence and ease.

As my business continues to grow, I’m especially passionate about curating more luxury level experiences for clients who value exceptional service and the thoughtful details that elevate a trip from great to unforgettable. Ready to plan your next adventure? Reach out today to get started!

I appreciate my customers!

“If you want to have the best, seamless vacation experience, then make sure you reach out to Rebecca Ralston. She is like having a best friend working in the background to ensure everything is perfect for you and your family! Even during our trip, she was available to help us when we needed assistance or advice. It made an intimidating trip run smoothly!”

"Becca planned an amazing trip for our visit to the Florida Keys. She gave us many good options to choose from, both lodging and excursions, and really listened to what we wanted. When one of our excursions was cancelled due to incoming weather she was quick to get us rebooked on an earlier excursion. We will definitely use Bec’s Treks again. Thank you for an awesome experience."

Hawaiian Paradise
Reviewed By Mackenzie and Will - Waukee, IA | Traveled to Maui Island | Hawaii | USA
My husband and I were referred to Rebecca through my mother who has taken multiple vacations through Rebecca’s services. We were looking to get away to Maui but didn’t want the stress of planning, booking, and coordinating all the fine details. Rebecca shared expert knowledge when helping us determine location and excursion activities. She clearly communicated with us throughout the planning process and was always available should we need anything while we were in Maui. We will reminisce on this trip for many years to come thanks to Rebecca’s instrumental role.

From Disney to Austria to Rome—Rebecca Makes Every Trip Feel Effortless
Reviewed By Therese - Fairfax, VA | Traveled to Rome | Italy | Europe
We've now trusted Rebecca with three very special trips for our family—our Disney vacation, our 30th anniversary trip to Austria, and most recently, a family Christmas trip to Rome—and each experience has been exceptional. What sets Rebecca apart is how much time she takes to truly understand what her clients want. She doesn't just book travel; she listens, asks thoughtful questions, and helps create experiences that fit your family's interests, pace, and priorities. Rebecca is also incredibly patient. I work full-time and am not always the most responsive client, yet she never makes me feel rushed or behind schedule. She gently keeps things moving, remains flexible when plans evolve, and makes the entire planning process stress-free. For our Rome trip, she helped us navigate all the details of traveling during the Christmas season, ensuring we had a well-planned itinerary while still leaving room for us to enjoy the experience together as a family. Knowing Rebecca was handling the logistics gave us confidence and peace of mind. The greatest compliment I can give is that we continue to come back to her. In fact, we're already working with Rebecca on planning our next Christmas holiday. When you find someone who consistently delivers great experiences, makes travel planning easy, and genuinely cares about getting it right, you don't look anywhere else! If you're looking for a travel advisor who is knowledgeable, attentive, organized, and truly invested in making your trip memorable, I can't recommend Rebecca highly enough. She has become our trusted travel partner, and I know she'll be helping us create many more wonderful memories in the years ahead.

We had a great 20 year anniversary trip!
Reviewed By BaskinRobbinsfriend - Birmingham, AL | Traveled to Lake Tahoe | Nevada | USA
Rebecca did a great job planning our anniversary trip to Lake Tahoe! We had a mix of open time along with specific activities we had discussed as things we like to do. She was intentional and checked in periodically. We appreciate the support she gave and will use her again.

Amazing European Experience!
Reviewed By Travel4fun - Taormina | Traveled to Sicily | Italy | Europe
We just returned from the most amazing trip to Sicily and Malta, and I cannot thank Rebecca at Bec’s Treks enough for making it such an unforgettable experience! From the very beginning, Rebecca took the time to truly understand the type of travel experiences we enjoy, and it made all the difference. Since we weren’t familiar with the region, I originally planned to stay in a more “convenient” area in Sicily—but Rebecca suggested Taormina instead, and I am SO glad she did. It was absolutely perfect and ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. In Malta, she found us the most AMAZING boutique hotel—something we never would have discovered on our own. Every recommendation she made felt thoughtful and tailored specifically to us. Rebecca also did extensive research on each destination and provided excellent guidance on transportation and excursions. Having a detailed, well-organized itinerary was incredibly helpful throughout the trip. And after 18 hours of travel, arriving to prearranged transportation waiting for us was such a relief and set the tone for a seamless vacation. Her attention to detail, expertise, and personal touch truly elevated our experience. I can’t say enough great things about Bec’s Treks—we are already looking forward to planning our next trip!
