ABOUT ME

Hola!

I'm Rachel. I plan on being a student of life for the next few months as I slowly make my way around Central/South America!

I think I'm a pretty easy-going kinda gal that probably laughs too much! I love those laughs that make you laugh and and when you're laughing so much that your cheeks hurt and it feels like you've laughed a 6-pack of abs, but you still can't stop.

I think the best kind of adventures are those that you least expect. When you think it's all going to go to plan and nothing unexpected will happen, then you meet someone or you discover something that leads you somewhere that you never expected to be. These are the greatest adventures, and make up the best stories and memories.

Let's be friends :)

PHILOSOPHY

This is your LIFE.
Do what you love and do it often.
If you don't like something, change it.
If you don't like your job, QUIT.
If you don't have enough time, STOP watching TV.
If you are looking for the love of your life, STOP. They will be waiting for you when you start DOING THINGS YOU LOVE.
Stop overanalysing, all emotions are beautiful.
When you eat appreciate every last bite.
OPEN your mind, heart and arms to new things and people, we are united in our differences.
ASK the next person you see what their passion is and share your inspiring dream with them.
TRAVEL OFTEN. Getting lost will help you find yourself.
Some opportunities only come once, SEIZE THEM.
Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them, so go on and START CREATING.
LIFE IS SHORT.
Live your dream and share your passion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed and hitch-hiked with my sister and friend around mexico! It made me really appreciate the generosity and kindness of people. Everyone we met was so lovely and willing to give. So I've opened up my home in Melbourne and hosted some cool and interesting people. It's one of the best ways to get to know the locals and experience the local culture.

Interests

Laughing until your cheeks hurt, dancing like no-ones watching, music that makes you feel something, people that make you think, photography that inspires, food full of spiciness, getting out of comfort zones, discovering where the magic happens, unexpected adventures, festivals, friends, family.
