Rachelle & Pete
The People Behind Active Voyager
We’re Rachelle and Pete, the duo behind Active Voyager. We’ve always had a passion for travel and love discovering Europe’s hidden gems through river cruising.
There’s just something magical about drifting along historic waterways, passing by charming villages, majestic castles, and vibrant cities—all while enjoying the comforts of a river cruise.
Rachelle has been exploring the world and sharing her adventures on TheTravelBite.com since 2008. Over the years, she’s cultivated a deep love for Europe’s rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and delicious food. Pete is often the one behind the camera capturing the breathtaking moments we encounter on our journeys.
After experiencing multiple river cruises together, we were hooked. There’s something truly special about gliding down Europe’s iconic rivers, waking up in a new city each day, and immersing ourselves in the heart of each destination. From the majestic castles along the Rhine to the charming villages on the Danube, river cruising has given us a unique way to explore Europe—and we want to share that with you!
That’s Why We Created Active Voyager
