REBECCA HOGAN
Luxury Travel Advisor
LOCATION:
Scottsdale, AZ
Rebecca Hogan’s passion for travel began during her backpacking adventures across Europe in high school and college, then further increased after meeting her husband in Australia. This personal connection to global exploration drives her work as a travel advisor specializing in multi-generational family trips and adventure travel experiences.
Rebecca dedicates herself to creating custom itineraries featuring unique excursions and distinctive properties throughout Europe, Africa, and other bucket-list destinations. With careful attention to detail, she handles all the behind-the-scenes planning that makes trips run smoothly, allowing her travelers to fully enjoy their experiences without worrying about logistics.
Based in Arizona with her husband and three children, Rebecca also enjoys spending summer months with her family in Telluride, Colorado. She intentionally limits the number of clients and trips she takes each year to ensure personalized service for everyone she works with. This approach allows her to develop lasting relationships with clients, truly understand their travel preferences, and anticipate their future adventures.
Drawing on values from her previous 15-year career as a pediatric nurse practitioner, Rebecca donates a percentage of all her earnings to the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, connecting each journey she plans to a meaningful cause.
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
MOST MEMORABLE TRIP
Australia, where I met my husband
BEST TRAVEL TIP
My best travel tip is to take the trip, even when your kids are young. I find clients often put off traveling and/or trips when in the early stages of parenthood out of fear the kids won’t do well on i.e, the long flight, the different food, amount of walking involved when in actuality, kids really can make the best travelers! I promise you they will surprise you with their resilience and excitement, and you will always return happy you prioritized travel and family time.
FAVORITE BOOK
I love to read, so picking one book is difficult for me. I especially love historical fiction books! I love anything from the WWII ear and novels set in Eastern Europe.
NUMBER OF COUNTRIES VISITED
22
DREAM BUCKET LIST TRIP
My next big bucket list trip would be scuba diving in the Red Sea and cruising the Nile.
FAVORITE QUOTE
“Travel. The only thing you buy that makes you richer.”
MOST INCREDIBLE TRIP I EVER PLANNED
I had so much joy planning all of my summer of 2022 trips. After 2 years of lockdown, clients were traveling with a purpose and intention. Clients traveling to spread a loved one’s ashes, traveling to celebrate delayed birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries, and groups of families and friends traveling together to recapture lost time. It was also a joy to see tourism return in remote locations for our beloved suppliers, guides, and hotels in destination.
THE PERSON I LOOK UP TO MOST
Prior to working full time in travel, I practiced as a pediatric nurse practitioner for 15 years, often with pediatric oncology patients. The strength of children undergoing treatment for cancer and their
families who continue to show up with hope, love, and kindness are true heroes.
