Hi, I am Rachael!
I live Saint Louis Missouri. I am a huge fan of trying something new as often as I can, exploration is everything. I adore Cats and really any animal, I hope to have a pet Raccoon at some point in my life :). My friends call me a Disney Princess, because I get along with all animals... I am okay with that! I am in love with Mother Nature, rivers are on my list of favorite things. I am not sure what else to put I. This "about me" section... So if you have any Questions at all feel free to ask and I'll be happy to answer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My life so far has been a little restricted, I was born with a heart valve issue so I have been battling that all this time up until August. I finally got my Mitral valve replacement and I am good to take on the world now and that is what I plan to do, so I figured this would help meet some new people and be a useful tool in my travels.
