Angie Rice

Hello! I’m Angie Rice, Co-Founder of Boutique Travel Advisors (BTA), and my passion for travel is rooted in a lifelong curiosity about the world and a deep commitment to helping travelers experience it with confidence, joy, and intention. My journey into the travel industry wasn’t linear—it began in the world of finance. As a CPA and business consultant, I spent years analyzing systems, strategizing for growth, and understanding the operational heartbeat of organizations. What I didn’t realize at the time was how well those skills would eventually translate into designing extraordinary travel experiences.

I became a travel advisor because I saw firsthand how transformative travel can be—and how overwhelming it can feel without the right guidance. I specialize in complex itineraries, multi-year travel planning, and experiences that require thoughtful coordination, strong supplier relationships, and an understanding of how the small details shape an entire journey. Whether it’s a multi-country adventure, a safari, a milestone celebration, a multigenerational trip, or a corporate incentive retreat, I love creating the kind of seamless, high-touch experience that allows travelers to fully immerse themselves in the moment.

One of the pillars of my work is collaboration. Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships across the industry. These connections are essential in ensuring that my clients receive elevated service, exclusive opportunities, and the most informed recommendations.

As a traveler myself, I’m endlessly inspired by the diversity and beauty of the world. I travel frequently throughout the year to stay connected with destinations, nurture supplier relationships, and continue learning—because the travel landscape never stops evolving. Experiencing destinations firsthand allows me to guide my clients with authenticity, clarity, and confidence while helping them prepare for experiences that are meaningful and aligned with their personal travel style.
