CURRENT MISSION To be a world citizen ABOUT ME I love it when people message me asking me to show them around my city. So please don't hesitate to do so! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LmPBPWHJu4 Watch this video before coming to NYC =) Hi all, I'm Rachel and I was born and raised in Queens, NY by wonderful South Korean parents :o) PHILOSOPHY "To each their own" This quote resonates... “Travel does not exist without home....If we never return to the place we started, we would just be wandering, lost. Home is a reflecting surface, a place to measure our growth and enrich us after being infused with the outside world.” ― Josh Gates
