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
