Hi all,

I'm Rachel and I was born and raised in Queens, NY by wonderful South Korean parents :o)

PHILOSOPHY

"To each their own"

This quote resonates...

“Travel does not exist without home....If we never return to the place we started, we would just be wandering, lost. Home is a reflecting surface, a place to measure our growth and enrich us after being infused with the outside world.”

― Josh Gates
