About Rachel Kawate
Rachel Kawate is a Chicago-based travel creator who posts short vertical videos covering city guides, weekend itineraries, hidden food spots and travel products. Her uploads are mostly under a minute and tend to focus on American destinations such as Grand Rapids, Rapid City, Hammondsport and Bastrop, along with trips to China and Istanbul. Her channel has about 8,700 subscribers and roughly 50 uploads over the past year, with most output concentrated on Shorts.
Based on channel titles and descriptions, her audience appears to be mostly English-speaking US viewers, likely adults who plan weekend trips and look for food recommendations. These demographic estimates are inferred and have low confidence. Her sponsored work includes a Purdue University campaign and affiliate links for Saily and Insta360.
Rates are $150 to $250 per video. Because most videos are Shorts with a median of about 1,670 views, the effective CPM is roughly $20 to $35 per 1,000 views for long-form, and this channel's Shorts pricing sits in the $4 to $8 per 1,000 range. Standard paid social ads typically run $10 to $30 CPM, so creator placements here are best judged on reach and relevance. Brands looking for travel, tourism or regional food promotions should consider her.
