My name is Rachel Lewis and I am a twenty-year-old student, majoring in Women and Gender Studies at a small liberal arts institution. Having never really travelled outside of the States, I’ve always held close the idea of studying, travelling, and living abroad. Humor helps navigate the stresses of leaving home to live abroad; I love stand up comedy and secretly aspire to be a comedian. I’m a bookworm, as well – which makes me eager to write about my adventures (while mixing in the humor I will likely find in many places and experiences)!
