Hello! I’m Rachel. I am a NYC-born, New Jersey-raised 34-year-old American. I left my sales career to embark upon a long dreamed of backpacking trip, which I am in the middle of now.
I have a calm demeanor and inquisitive nature. There are infinite sides to every story, and I want to know them all. I like immersing myself in new hobbies and have cycled through martial arts, taiko (Japanese drums), dance, watercolors, chess, futsal, acting and filmmaking at different times in my life. I am currently building a photography portfolio and would be happy to take photos for you during my stay (either casually or for a project we can establish together).
I've traveled to Italy, Ireland, Germany, the UK, the DR, Bermuda and Korea, but the bulk of my travel was done domestically during the six years I spent living in Japan—first as an English teacher at a middle school in the countryside and then as a business professional (think 'salaryman') in Tokyo. This long-term stay in Japan gave me the opportunity to experience the country on a deeper level and made me realize I want to do all my travel in the same way: lengthy periods of living in-country, experiencing daily life amongst 'locals.'
Through my time as a workawayer, I am hoping to see far corners of the world, experience many different lifestyles, pick up new practical skills/knowledge, get to know a diverse range of people, and contribute to others' projects.
Looking forward to meeting you and doing something together!Centres d’intérêt
