Part of what makes Tenon so great is our one-on-one mentality and desire to get to know our clients. We thought it was about time to return the favor and let you get to know us! Rachel, one of our Personal Travel Specialists, has been with us since 2021. Below she answered some questions about herself and her journey in the travel business!
If you had to choose one place that has been your favorite to visit, what would it be?
Ireland is my happy place. I’ve been known to spend months there and I’ve also flown over for a weekend traditional music festival. As soon as I see Ireland from the plane, I feel like I’ve returned home.
What is your least favorite part of traveling?
Return jetlag is a drag especially when it’s coupled with bags of dirty laundry.
If you could spend a week anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I’d spend a week in the Pyrenees, relaxing, hiking and waiting for the Tour de France to pass by.
Who is the ideal Tenon Tours client and why would they connect with us?
I love working with travelers who have the inspiration and the passion to visit somewhere but just need some guidance with sorting through all of the options because, let’s be honest, there are a lot out there! I am happy to take those fleeting thoughts and dreams and put them into an itinerary that checks the boxes with a few surprises thrown in for good measure. I would encourage anyone to reach out for an initial conversation … after all, we love talking travel!
What are your hobbies outside of work?
Beyond chasing a small son, I love to bake and watch baking shows. And, of course, eating baked goods while traveling.
