Hi! I'm Rachel, a student from France, studying right now in Vancouver bc. I love to travel and like to do it in ways that will allow me to meet cool new people, so that's why I decided that Couch Surfing would be a good idea for me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said before, I love to meet new people, to travel, and to stay away from the beaten paths (or touristy paths, it's kinda the same thing usually ;)
