"Travel inspires us to enjoy life in a variety of ways, to live it to the fullest and to allow our senses to be excited and tantalised. Life becomes richer, more beautiful and I am always looking beyond."
Rachel has trekked the edge of the deadly Mayon volcano; communed with the Hourani tribe in Ecuador; witnessed lions mating in Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve; sojourned in secluded groves in the Amazon rainforest; and swam with hammerhead sharks in the Galapagos. She scuba-dived through warships in the South China Sea; experienced Japanese “naked communion:” in the volcanic hot springs of Mount Fuji; journeyed deep underground; to visit ancient Mayan sacrificial caves in Guatemala, and flamenco-danced through the "Feria de Abril" in Seville, Spain.
