Personal Narrative: I Am Raquel

Decent Essays
I am Raquel (Ruh-kel). A young and vibrant girl with a personality influenced by the southern charm of Atlanta, GA. I am a creative being who views the world as a big question mark who's answers lie where the ocean meets the horizon and the mountains kiss the clouds.

I've traveled to a few places here in the States, but it wasn't until my 20th birthday trip to Los Angeles, California that I knew I had to see the foreign beauties this world has to offer. Since then, I've been to Miami, London, Amsterdam, and New Orleans.

I thirst for adventure. Hiking through the Amazon Rainforest or swimming under a water fall on an Island in Hawaii are at the top of my bucket list. Being able to push past what frightens you is what makes us stronger.

    Photo by Jim Trodel. 2. Attend TBEX in Canada TBEX (Travel Bloggers Exchange) is THE event of travel blogging that every serious travel blogger must attend, almost as a right of passage. Unfortunately for me sitting in India, TBEX is always held somewhere halfway across the globe.

This might sound a bit unusual, but I have always wanted to learn more about my world. For example, what is the population in Hokkaido, Japan? What kind of food do they eat in Australia?…
