Hello from Rachel Digirolamo!

What Makes Me, Me: I was born and raised in Birmingham, AL, but now I call Denham Springs, LA home with my husband, Matt, our two daughters, Josie and Evie, and our adorable German Shorthaired Pointer, Maggie. My passion for travel began early, thanks to my parents taking us to new states each year. Travel is more than a hobby for me; it’s a way of life. I’m dedicated to introducing my daughters to the world and new cultures, striving to take them to as many exciting destinations as possible.

My favorite travel destination is Africa. In 2019, Matt and I spent 16 days there, and it was an incredibly life-changing experience. From observing wildlife in their natural habitat to connecting with the locals and gazing at the brilliantly clear Milky Way, the trip left a meaningful impact on me. 

In My Spare Time: I enjoy hosting dinner gatherings and diving into a good book. 

What is your favorite season and why? My favorite season is spring, because it’s when everything bursts back into life and color.

Me in Three Words, As Described by my friends: Passionate, hardworking and energetic 

What I Could Not Leave Home Without: I never leave home without my French vanilla coffee creamers. A great cup of coffee in the morning just isn't complete without it.

An Instant Pick Me Up? Having our stunning outdoor kitchen and living area is an instant mood booster for me. There’s nothing better than enjoying a great glass of wine and making homemade pizzas in our pizza oven—those moments truly make my day!

What movie could you quote by heart? Runaway Bride. My sister and I watched that movie a million times together growing up.
