Co-Founder

Meet Rachel Hoppes, founder of RH Travel Design. Rachel’s passion for travel runs deep, and she considers herself a collector of experiences and a curious explorer of new places and cultures. In her role as a trusted travel advisor, Rachel cherishes the opportunity to share the world in a new way each and every day.

Rachel takes a white-glove approach to highly personalized luxury travel planning. After receiving a degree in International Business and a Master’s in French, Rachel worked in academia, wealth management, and executive strategy consulting in both the United States and France. Rachel leverages her professional background to think around every corner when creating well-thought-out itineraries for her clients.

Although Rachel has traveled extensively and loves nothing more than discovering a new destination, her heart will always be in France and Italy. She is fluent in French and recently obtained a French work visa – a near impossible feat for many Americans!

She and her husband, Brian, spent over seven years living and working in France before welcoming a surprise baby girl! They now reside in Nashville, TN, with their three children. A few of Rachel’s favorite things include classic jazz, new adventures, good food, and even better wine!
