  • In 2017, Rachael wrote a personal essay for Bustle that went viral after creating and traveling on a European vacation based on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies.

Experience

With more than a decade of experience in the lifestyle and entertainment journalism spaces, Rachael has found a way to turn her passions into a career. She often combines her two expertises to craft entertainment-related travel pieces, touching on topics like celebrity-loved destinations, trips based on nostalgic movies and shows, and hotels frequented by A-listers. When she's not doing her own trip-planning and traveling, Rachael has written on these subjects (and beyond!) for International Business Times, The US Sun, ABC News, Bustle, and Business Insider, among others.

Education

Rachael earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Stony Brook University.
