Hi! I’m Rachael. I love exploring new cultures, trying local food, and getting lost in both cities and nature. I enjoy good conversation and spontaneous adventures.

I’m respectful, clean, and easygoing, and I love meeting hosts who can share local tips, stories, or just a cup of coffee and a chat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Growing up in Michigan, I moved to Hawaii alone at 18. I had lived there for 9 years and in December of 2025 deciding to sell everything and am now I’m backpacking through Asia for as long as I can. I’m here to meet locals and fellow travelers, share stories, and experience life to the fullest!

Interests

I love nature, trekking, good food, health and wellness, and recently have been interested in meditation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve hiked solo across the Dolomites in Italy, staying in mountain refuges along the way, meeting travelers and locals, and carrying only what I could on my back. An experience that taught me independence, resilience, and the joy of unexpected connections.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love connecting with people and sharing experiences, stories, and laughs.I’m happy to lend a hand around the house, help cook a meal, or just share good conversation and curiosity about your city and life. I bring an open heart, a sense of adventure, and plenty of energy for exploring new places and ideas together.
