Rachel Larson

Hello! I'm Rachel Larson, a dedicated travel advisor with a passion for curating unique and immersive experiences that blend culture, cuisine, and adventure. Based in the Midwest, I specialize in destinations like New Orleans and Thailand, focusing on boutique travel and food & wine experiences. My journey into travel began with a deep appreciation for the art of crafting exceptional drinks—from cocktails to craft beer and wine. This passion has led me to explore the intricate processes that transform raw ingredients into delightful beverages, and I aim to share this appreciation with my clients through tailored travel experiences. I believe in engaging all five senses to fully appreciate a destination. Whether it's savoring local delicacies, exploring vibrant markets, or participating in hands-on culinary workshops, I strive to create journeys that immerse travelers in the heart of each locale. One of my favorite destinations is New Orleans, a city that seamlessly blends rich history with a dynamic food scene. In my travel guide, "Beer and Beignets in New Orleans: A Divine Pairing," I delve into the unique culinary offerings of the city, highlighting the best spots to enjoy local brews and iconic pastries. When it comes to accommodations, I recommend establishments that offer both comfort and a taste of local culture. For instance, the W New Orleans - French Quarter provides a resort-style experience with a creative Creole restaurant and lively brunch scene, while Meadowood Napa Valley offers a country club atmosphere amidst 250 acres of vineyards, complete with fine dining and outdoor activities. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a solo journey to discover new flavors and cultures, I'm here to help you plan a trip that resonates with your interests and passions. Let's embark on a journey that tantalizes your taste buds and enriches your travel experiences.
