CURRENT MISSION

Long walks in new towns

ABOUT ME

My name is Rachel.
I've been 6 feet tall since I was 15.
Perfect weather feels like puppies licking my face.
I love meeting new people and hanging out with the old ones.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever Works

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a lot across America, and a bit in Taiwan. Once I settle in my apartment I'll be able to host in Brooklyn.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My travels have been 100% enhanced when staying with couchsurfers. Meeting and hanging out with locals has been an incredible experience. Especially in Taiwan, I would not have known where to travel and eat if not for my wonderful hosts.

Interests

I really like to walk around new cities and see how many samples and free things I can collect.

I spend way too much time looking up menus of restaurants.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered on an ambulance and performed CPR on a couple of people. Time just stops when a stranger's life is in your hands.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play a few songs on the piano and guitar
I can edit films
I can cook/bake
I'd love to learn a random skill that I can take with me everywhere

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm really good at throwing random ingredients together and coming up with a tasty treat. My friends call this garbage cooking, but I always like what I make, so I'd be happy to share :)
