About Me.

Hi, I’m Rachel Stewart, the owner of Travel By Rachel, your trusted travel advisor based in West Plains, Missouri! Born and raised in this serene town, I’m proud to still call it home. My passion for travel and exploration has always been a big part of who I am, and I’m thrilled to turn that love into a rewarding career helping others see the world.

​

After several fulfilling years with State Farm Insurance, I decided to take a leap and follow my dream as a full-time travel agent. Now, I specialize in creating stress-free, customized travel experiences for all kinds of adventures—from tropical escapes and European vacations to unforgettable river and ocean cruises.

​

Dreaming of a bucket-list trip? Whether it’s an African safari, exploring Alaska’s breathtaking wilderness, or embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Antarctica, I’m here to help every step of the way. My expertise also extends to group travel, romantic getaways, luxury cruises, and adventure-packed itineraries.

​

When I’m not planning incredible trips, I’m spending time with my supportive husband and our sweet 2-year-old son on our family farm, where we raise cattle and enjoy the simple joys of country life.

​

From sipping wine in Tuscany to walking on glaciers in Alaska or relaxing on a pristine Caribbean beach, I’ll handle all the details—flights, accommodations, tours, and more—so you can focus on making unforgettable memories. Let’s make your travel dreams a reality—where will your next adventure take you? 🌎✨
