About Me

Hi! My name is Rachel and I am currently pursuing a degree in french and psychology. I can't accept guests now because I'm studying abroad in Lyon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with new people from cultures and backgrounds different from my own. I love exploring the heart and soul of a place, and I find that while traveling it's very difficult to discover that without a little help from the locals!

Interests

I love being outdoors which includes all the good old fun stuff like hiking, biking, rock climbing, etc. Swimming is close to my heart as that was my sport up until college. Yoga and meditation are a big portion of my life, as well as art (performance!!!!) and writing. Bocce ball, badmitton, card games! Flashlight tag is also very high on this list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went river rafting for six days with a rad group of family and friends and camped and laughed and drank and remembered ourselves.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let me cook for you! Ask me how to do a handstand and I will show you a full-proof method! I know quite a bit of american card games if that suits your interest :) I am also pretty adept at 1970s disco dance moves.

If you know of a store near you that sells henna, I will tattoo you as well :)
