CURRENT MISSION

adventurous living in the usa, but sadly, apart from each other..

ABOUT ME

we're two sisters, rachel and chloe, who also happen to be dear friends. we are remarkably similar at the same time as being quite different. we DO, however, share an impressive amount of the same hobbies and passions: travel and foreign life, language study, analysis, acquisition; spending time in nature, doing and admiring others' arts and crafts..
we are always making plans and lists and we don't get everything done, of course, but we always manage to be in the process of making something wonderful of our lives.

P.S. All our photos are suuuuuuper old and I feel like I look like a baby, lol! But, the photos don't really matter, so I'm not gonna hurry to update. They still give a great glimpse into our tastes and personalities :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
