What is “Catch Flights, Not Feels” all about?

Hi, I’m Rachel—professional overthinker, unintentional situationship expert, and a girl who packs a carry-on like it’s a personality trait.

I started Catch Flights, Not Feels after realizing something important about myself: I’m always happier with a passport in hand than I am waiting for someone to text back. It’s the “ah hah!” moment when you finally decide to choose yourself and do what makes you happy instead of waiting around for “the one.”

This space is where my love for adventure meets my talent for turning chaos into comedy. It’s the place where travel stories and dating disasters coexist, where impulsive decisions become life lessons, and where I turn my overthinking into something that actually helps other women feel seen. Think of it as a digital living room for the girls who are still figuring life out — one boarding pass, one red flag, and one emotional support iced coffee at a time.

Here, I get to blend everything that makes me me: the spontaneous trip‑booking, the questionable romantic choices, the moments of clarity that always seem to hit mid‑flight, and the kind of growth that comes from both heartbreak and passport stamps. It’s for the women who romanticize their lives even when they’re crying in an airport bathroom, who know a weekend getaway can heal what a man broke, and who are learning to choose themselves — loudly, boldly, and with a carry‑on that somehow fits 17 outfits.

This space is equal parts travel diary, group chat energy, hype‑woman encouragement, and the unfiltered truth about becoming the main character in your own story. It’s where I share the stories, lessons, and unfiltered moments that remind us we’re all just trying to live a life that feels good, looks good, and makes sense… even when it absolutely doesn’t. If you’re here, you’re already part of the journey — and trust me, it’s a good one.
