Hi! I'm Rachel. I'm a proud Canadian and have spent the 3 years teaching ESL and travelling around SE Asia and Europe. Currently, I’m volunteering at an NGO in Tanzania.

I love to meet people from all over the world. For me, the most rewarding part of travelling is meeting beautiful people from all corners of the globe and all walks of life. My philosophy is that strangers are just friends you haven't met yet :)

Over my travels, I’ve developed a passion for taking photos, something I love to share with others! Let’s take photos together

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the only thing in this world better than travelling is meeting amazing people from around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fleetwood Mac, Kings of Leon, Kendrick Lamar, the Lumineers, Bon Iver, the Rolling Stones, and Galantis are some of my favourite artists!

I'll read anything written by Haruki Murakami or Margaret Atwood.

If you are a game of thrones fan, we are automatically friends 👌

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once climbed a mountain so rocky that by the time I got to the bottom my shoes had holes in the toes (but the view was totally worth it).

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook, especially recipes I’ve discovered while traveling. I also like to bake healthy treats (sometimes more successfully than others :)
