Rhi was the best trip manager anyone could ask for! She is passionate about her job and it comes thru in every interaction you have with her. She makes an effort to not only keep everyone safe and comfortable on the trip but also goes above and beyond to make sure you get to do everything to want to have the best possible trip. She also makes a huge effort to make genuine connections with everyone she travels with. It is so clear that Rhi gives her all to this job and she was a hands down one of the reasons I had such an amazing trip. I would love to travel with her again some day!Show more
