CURRENT MISSION to discover people, stories, places, colors, spices, and eats, to fulfill an empty space ABOUT ME Hello! My name is Rachel, I am 24 years old, and am currently in medical school in northern New Jersey. I live in Jersey City, NJ - an easy commute to NYC (30 min). Right now I will be studying for a medical licensing examination - so I won't be able to host anyone until further notice. I'd be happy to meet up for a drink/coffee. Send messages if you've got any questions! PHILOSOPHY In our topsy-turvy lifetimes, paths are bound to cross, and possibly re-cross, things may look familiar while at the same time unfamiliar, and it is these moments, perhaps small and insignificant sometimes, that ground, or bring things back, full circle, and convince me that it'll all make sense one day.

Uma Coisa Incrível Que Já Fiz
When I was in Costa Rica, I decided to travel, alone, down an unpaved jungle path. I was in search of a howling monkey. Instead, I found myself a cat, and to this day I still don't know what it was exactly. I did not even attempt to take a picture, but turned around, and walked back calmly to the beach. The locals said it was their local deer, but somehow, it did not look like a deer to me.
Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
If you would like to learn yoga, or ballet, or perhaps some really great stretches and breathing exercises, ask away!

My interests range from reading, practicing ballet, neurology, and other branches of medicine, people, particularly helping people, volunteering locally and abroad, painting and photography, and yoga.
