FIND PLACES WORTH THE JOURNEY

Hi, I’m Rachel

I’m Rachel, a (usually) solo Australian traveller in my early 30s, balancing full-time work with a love of travel whenever I can.

I don’t travel full-time, which just makes every trip something I plan properly and make count.

For me, travel resets my perspective, pushes me outside my comfort zone, and reminds me how much there is to see and experience.

The Philosophy Behind Where Rachel Went

Where Rachel Went started as a way to hold onto places that actually meant something. The ones I still think about long after I’m home.

I’m drawn to destinations with history and atmosphere. Places that feel like something, not just look good.

If I had to choose one place, it would be Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands. Wild, dramatic, and unforgettable.

If you want your trips to feel like more than just ticking boxes, you’re in the right place.

Welcome.
