Hi, I’m Rachel

Who knew studying abroad in Korea and Hong Kong would literally change my life, and make me that friend who makes travelling a personality trait!

I’ve always dreamed of living abroad, not just hitting tourist spots, but doing the everyday, mundane things that help you feel a place! I got into an international business program that required both studying and working abroad (aka the perfect excuse to travel for months without my parents freaking out 😌). It didn’t stop there. After graduating, I spent some time travelling to meet my exchange friends around Asia and Europe.

Along the way, I had so many eye-opening experiences!!! Travelling didn’t just show me the beauty of the world, it made me more confident, open-minded, and grounded in who I am!

Now that I have my “big girl” job, I won’t let it stop me from seeing the world!!

It’s just the start of my blog, but behind the scenes it’s backed with stories of friends, lessons from losing my bag twice, and so many more seasons of growth! I hope you find The Travelling Sunflower useful!
