About Me

Hello, Ciao,안녕하세요, Hallo, Hola, Selamat tengahari! My name is Rachael and I am a travel enthusiast. Ever since I can remember, my parents have taken my brother, sister and I on good ol' American road trips. It's safe to say that was where my interest in new places, people and experiences was ignited. As my parents always encouraged my siblings and I to explore and ask questions, I developed a sincere curiosity for new adventures. In addition to seeing much of the United States with my favorite travel companions (my family), I had the opportunity to spend a semester in Rome, Italy, as well as a semester in Seoul, South Korea during my college career. Now, I am honored to be taking part in a Fulbright ETA Scholarship to Malaysia for a year! My family's favorite motto is "Life is all about the journey, not the destination." I invite you to join along in my journey of cultural exchange and mutual understanding in Malaysia! After all, the more, the merrier.

Handing Over Ceremony in Terengganu - Press Coverage in Malaysia

This is press coverage of the ETAs in Terengganu, where I am! It was coverage of the Terengganu Handing Over Ceremony on January 31, 2012, where the ETAs were officially "handed over" to their new school, new mentor and new principal!

The individuals interviewed are good friends of mine, and you can see me towards the end of the clip when we are singing a native song called "Gembo Gembo!"

Enjoy :)

    That was fun! You had me with the brownies, you lost me with the big spiders and squating toilets! *g* What is so great about your posts are all the little details you put in there, and how you make even the smallest things just as important as something grand. You really do make us feel like we are there with you... and we are in spirit! And.... I am totally right there with you when there is chocolate involved! :)

    Hugs to Racheal and her roomie too!
