Rachel B.
Age: 31

Education: Spanish and Linguistics PSU. Learn something every day.
Previous Life: Educator, racer, stylist, explorer, wanderer, naturalist

Passions: Cycling, running, yoga, writing, drinking tea, eating, train travel, reading, cultures, human interactions and experiences
Trips Guided and/or Traveled: Mexico, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica, India, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Utah, Oregon, Iowa and Minnesota.
Favourite Trips: Peru
Why: Because it was the first time I traveled with my bike. The bike allowed me to experience the smells, hear the sounds, and get into the rhythm of the culture. Most of the trips following involved a bicycle for at least a portion of the trip and so were equally amazing.
2 truths and a lie:
Taught yoga to indigenous students at 13000 ft in the Andes.
Met and traveled with the legendary “trauco” or troll who haunts the island of Chiloe in Chile.
Was a circus performer who wore a braid that other acrobats would climb while hanging from a tightrope.
