A book of her punk rock work is slated to be published by Greybull Press.

Rachel Tavel (Acapulco and Ixtapa & Zihuatanejo chapters) is a native New Yorker with an unrelenting itch to travel. In 2005 she graduated from Bowdoin College with a major in Spanish and a minor in archaeology, but much of her college career was spent on the water as a rower for Bowdoin crew. After graduating, Rachel worked at American Express Publishing, writing and drooling over the photos in Food & Wine and Travel + Leisure magazines. She is most inspired by people-watching in foreign countries and her favorite indulgence is fabulous food. Rachel has visited more countries than states and has spent extended time studying in Spain, exploring Argentina (her mother’s homeland), and volunteering with children in Costa Rica. In the future, Rachel plans to combine her adoration for food and travel with her love for writing and hopes to someday write a column called “Travels with Tavel.”
