Hi there, I’m Rachel! I’m a content marketer, writer, travel consultant, and blogger based in Southern California. Born and raised on the tiny island of Oahu, I was fascinated by everything that was “out there” in the great big world, and dreamt of one day being able to dive in and explore it all. I took my first international trip as a 6-month-old, my first road trip as a 17-year-old, and my first solo flight as a sophomore in college.

Needless to say, that curiosity and deep appreciation for travel has stuck with me ever since.

Rather than prescribing to the idea that I had to sell all my things and book a one-way ticket across the globe, I wanted to find out what it meant to live a crazy, passionate, adventure-filled life without having to put my other ambitions on hold. So, after graduating college, I set out to do just that.
