Spanish Language & Culture
Hometown: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Hola! I am Rachael, a Spanish and Art Teacher from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My first airplane ride was the 12 hour flight to Chile when I studied abroad in College. My first trip abroad changed me and helped me grow into the adventurer and teacher that I am today. I cannot wait to share our stories with you!
