I’m just a thirty-something girl, who’s passionate about exploring the world—and yes, sometimes returning to the same favorite spots over and over again.

My goal? To showcase the incredible diversity of cultures, landscapes, and adventures this world has to offer, and help YOU experience them firsthand.

Somewhere Rach is a Florida-based travel blog offering insightful guides and itineraries for exploring Florida, the East Coast, and destinations far beyond.

The idea for this blog was born during a year hiatus living in a van, driving cross country. I’ve always loved travel and found myself sharing my stories and creating itineraries for friends.

From hidden gems to iconic national parks, road trips to international adventures, I thrive on discovering off-the-beaten-path destinations and embracing adventure—whether near home or across the globe. I love hopping on planes, to experience new cultures, try new foods, and meet people everywhere.

My mission with Somewhere Rach is simple: to make travel accessible, exciting, and achievable for everyone. You don’t need a fortune to live out your travel dreams. I’m here to share my practical tips, favorite destinations, and travel-planning secrets—so you can explore the world with confidence.

Every guide and itinerary on this site is based on my own personal travels, all researched, planned, and funded by me. So you can trust my recommendations are genuine and honest. No fluff, just real advice from one traveler to another.
