Meet Rayna

I’m Rayna, founder of R + T Travel Studio.

Travel has been part of my story for as long as I can remember, but the trip that changed everything began with a backpack, a Eurail pass, and a one-way ticket to Europe. I spent three months moving from place to place, learning how much the right neighborhood, an unexpected conversation, or a meal you never planned for can shape the way you remember a destination.

Since then, I’ve lived in London, traveled throughout North America, and explored destinations across Europe, Japan, Mexico, and beyond. Along the way, I became the person friends and family turned to for hotel recommendations, restaurant lists, itinerary advice, and the details that make a trip feel easier and more special. Over time, what started as something I loved doing for the people around me grew into R + T Travel Studio. Today, while I love calling the desert landscape of Scottsdale home, I work with clients nationwide to bring their dream itineraries to life.

The right trip isn’t built around a checklist. It’s shaped around the person taking it.

My Approach to Travel

I created R + T for travelers who want more than a collection of reservations. I believe a well-designed trip should reflect the people taking it: how they like to spend their days, what they want to experience, and what will make the journey feel meaningful to them.

I’m happiest when I’m researching the right hotel, finding the neighborhood that fits, building in a memorable meal, and shaping an itinerary with enough structure to feel seamless and enough space to feel like a vacation.

The result is travel that feels refined, personal, and thoughtfully designed from beginning to end.
