Description
Hello! My name is Rachel and I am excited to start traveling again! I am currently living and working in Ventura, California where I enjoy biking, the beach and painting. After a wild year, I am looking forward to exploring once more.
I have a few different goals with my travel plans in the next year: I would like to work on a farm, I would like to live on a boat and I would like to spend time in Italy where my family is from. One of my biggest passions is agriculture and I am always looking to increase my knowledge so in the future I can build my own farm. I am mainly interested in regenerative agriculture practices, but am interested in learning as much as I can. Another life goal of mine is to live on a sailboat and I am looking to try it out! Though I have little experience sailing, I have a lot of enthusiasm and motivation to learn.
I look forward to speaking with you!

Rachel is the person you always wish to have on your side, she is kind, helpful, always happy. It was great to have her on board. She helped us a lot with our project and also with the kids. I highly recommend her. Rachel will always be welcome at our place wherever the ship is!

I spent three weeks with Laure, Stefan, Marine and Malo and had such a great time! We had barbeques outside together, I got to met a lot of the local sailing and ship building community and was able to explore the cute town. I also learned a lot about living and working on a boat, of course there is always a lot to do! The family was very kind and… read more
