Hi! I’m Rachel of Rachel Roaming Solo
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, I started traveling from a young age. As a child, my whole extended family would gather once a year or once every couple of years and go on trips to Europe as my grandma wanted to show all of her grandchildren the progression of western civilization. Those trips gave me a love for travel, but my traveling has come a long way from the days of traveling around the city in a big tour bus with my whole family. These days, I prefer more low key trips with just a couple of people or to to travel solo and get immersed in the culture. I’ve been lucky enough to travel to 20 countries so far with more to come!
As a grad student, I need to travel with a budget. To stretch my money further and be able to go on more adventures, I’ve started travel hacking. I hope to share what I’ve learned with you so you too can travel for (almost) free! I’m also an amateur photographer and take my camera everywhere I can. I hope you’ll follow along as I share my pictures and travel tips!
