Holler.
I'm Rachel: a marketer, native New Yorker, and food and wine lover. I have lived in Washington, D.C. for collectively14 years, in Madrid from 2018-2022, and just arrived in Pretoria, South Africa to start a new adventure. I'm still learning Spanish, eating and drinking my way through my new country (the SA wine!), and planning future travels in South Africa and beyond.
After working as a marketer across many different industries for 16+ years, I finally decided to make the move to Marketing Consultant and it’s been a blast. If you are looking for help, some marketing advice, or just want to connect, reach out.

(Sometimes) I write about things
Food
I don't know the exact moment I became an annoying foodie, but it's likely when I studied abroad in Florence. Because, Italy. I'm not the world's best cook, but I love to eat. And because all the best things require balance, on my site you'll find some health and wellness articles too.
Wine
I could spend the rest of my life learning about wine...and probably will. I get excited over earthy, cool-climate reds, salty whites, and there’s a special place in my heart for Sherry. If it grew near a volcano, I'll drink it. And if I loved it, I'll share it. See what I’m drinking on Vivino.
Travel
As of August 2024, my new home is Pretoria, South Africa. I had literally never heard of this city, but now I’m living here and am ready to see the ‘Big 5’, eat lots of grilled meat, and get to those wine lands ASAP. Follow along on Insta to see some non-touristy, real people tips.
