Hello, my name is Rachel and I am a traveling Europe this summer doing a mix of pet-sitting, volunteering and Couchsurfing! Hoping to have a more laid back, local experience and not too concerned with seeing specific sites. I love to hike and be active outdoors, read, listen to live music, and paint. For the most part, I don’t make very structured plans and like to see what kind of adventure each day has to bring. I am vegetarian but don’t mind being in a household that eats meat. I drink socially but don’t smoke.
