Hi! I am Rachel. I am Newbie couchsurfer who loves the walking, parks, nature photography, green stuff, minimal techno, and reading.

I am a mini-globetrotter, who researches and write about global recycling markets and solid waste management systems. Sometimes person who coordinates the project.

I also like to think about systems and am getting more into creative writing.

I am down for laughter and adventures any day
