A Journey Into the Majestic Canadian Rockies
Banff will forever hold a special place in my heart. I’ve been fortunate to travel there often, and each visit still leaves me in awe. Nestled in the Canadian Rockies, Banff is a destination where every turn feels like stepping into a postcard. I truly believe the views here—towering peaks, turquoise lakes, and endless mountain trails—are some of the most majestic you’ll ever see in your life.Some of my favorite spots to explore include Moraine Lake, with its iconic glacier-fed waters, and Lake Louise, where the turquoise glow feels almost unreal. Johnston Canyon is another must, offering easy-to-moderate hikes that lead you past waterfalls and through canyon walls—it’s pure magic in every season.

When it’s time to refuel, I always make a stop at The Grizzly House, a Banff dining institution where the fondue is as unforgettable as the atmosphere. For a cozy break, I can’t resist a hot chocolate or coffee from Evelyn’s Coffee Bar, perfect for warming up after a morning outdoors. And for a view that takes your breath away, the Banff Gondola ride to Sulphur Mountain offers panoramic vistas you’ll remember forever.As a travel planner, I can help you experience Banff in a way that matches your style—whether that’s a peaceful retreat in the mountains, an adventure-packed itinerary, or even joining an Adventures by Disney guided vacation that showcases Banff’s best with a magical Disney touch.

Let me take the stress out of planning so you can focus on soaking in the beauty of Banff. From iconic lakes to hidden gems, I’ll make sure your trip is seamless and unforgettable. Ready to explore the Rockies? Let’s start planning your Banff adventure today!

Feels like she's just as invested in making this trip magical as we are!
Reviewed By Kelsie - Pennsylvania | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
We haven’t even taken our Disney trip yet, but I already can’t say enough good things about working with Rachael! Planning Disney can feel overwhelming, but she has made the whole process easy, stress-free, and actually FUN. She’s been so patient answering all my (many!) questions, sharing insider tips, and helping us think through the best plans for our family with a toddler. I’ve truly enjoyed the planning stage thanks to her guidance and excitement—it feels like she’s just as invested in making this magical as we are. If you’re even thinking about a Disney trip, I can’t recommend Rachael enough!

She is a true PIXIE DUST PRO!
Reviewed By Keoni - California | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
A Magical Experience Thanks to Rachel! Rachel was an absolute dream to work with for our family’s recent trip to Disney World. From the very beginning, she brought warmth, expertise, and a genuine passion for making our vacation unforgettable. She helped us navigate every detail, from choosing the perfect lodging to recommending delicious dining options that fit our family’s tastes and budget. But what really set Rachel apart was her thoughtful planning of our park days. She knew exactly how to structure each day to maximize fun and minimize stress. Thanks to her tips, we avoided long lines, caught the best shows, and even found quiet moments to recharge. Her insider knowledge made all the difference. Rachel didn’t just plan a trip, she crafted an experience that felt effortless and magical. We can’t thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone looking to make the most of their Disney adventure. She’s a true pixie dust pro!

Best. Trip. Ever
Reviewed By aundria_nicole - Lake Orion, MI | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Disney is not for the faint of heart and we could not have made heads or tails of anything without Rachael's help! We would have been completely lost! She helped us every step of the way, and was even answering questions while we were there, while SHE was on vacation! Could not recommend enough and when we go back, we'll definitely be reaching out for her help again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Tips and Tricks!
We were planning our first Disney vacation and Rachael made every step so easy and straight-forward, from recommending places to stay and packages to book, to providing the best deals, to jumping online at 6am to book every single reservation we wanted and then some! Our trip was truly magical thanks to Rachael! Any question we had, we texted to her and she responded lightning fast with not only the answers to our questions, but additional information that helped us even more! From answering questions related to our activities and the Disney app, to providing recommendations on where to watch the parade and Magic Kingdom fireworks (right below Tinkerbell flying!), to providing tips on what to look for during the fireworks that we would have otherwise missed, Rachael helped make our Disney vacation the absolute best! We can't wait to plan another vacation with you, Rachael! Thank you again! If you’re planning a Disney trip, do yourself a favor and reach out to her!
