“Hello, my name is Rachel.

Is it lame if I say this angel is spreading her wings and flying? ⠀⠀ Lol I hate myself for that 😂 1. I ain’t no angel, 2. I already have done quite a few rounds! 3. This is the first “angel wing” photo you’ll find on my insta! I know, shock horror why have I not posted such a #typicalwhitegirl photo before! ⠀⠀ Every time I leave though it gets less and less scarier and I feel like each time I’m even less prepared than the last 😂 ⠀⠀ What has been a moment that you’ve felt like you’ve “finally spread your wings?” Mainly what I’m asking is, when was there a moment and you said “fuck it, I’m going?” ✈️. . . . . #brisbanecity #discoverbrisbane #thisisbrisbane #brisbanelife #visitbrisbane #studentflights #girlslovetravel #sheisnotlost #neverstoptravelling #neverstopexploring #socialaussies #travellingaussies #traveldames #girlsthattravel #traveladdictedladies #roamtheglobe #dametravelworld #lifeofadventurer #girlywanderlust #globelletravelers #letsgosomewherenew #neverstopneversettle #chasingwanderlust #tasteintravels #girlsvsglobe #shetravels #sheisnotlost #ipreview via @preview.app
I do love a city skyline, and sure, Brisbane is nice and all, but I am looking for a grander view! Good thing I’m jetting back off to the other side of the world in a month to help y’all “Create Your Own Adventure” with @busabout.official 🚌 And prepare yourselves for my instagram to be an unintentional theme of turquoise as I’ll be getting based down in Croatia, my favourite country on our network!🇭🇷 Going into my third year with Busabout and am happy to say, I ticked my starting goal of becoming a Croatian guide ✅ Let’s do this 💪🏼. . . . . . #busabout #busaboutcrew #brisbanecity #discoverqueensland #brisbanelife #viewsofbrisbane #thisisbrisbane #studentflights #girlslovetravel #sheisnotlost #neverstoptravelling #neverstopexploring #socialaussies #travellingaussies #traveldames #girlsthattravel #traveladdictedladies #roamtheglobe #dametravelworld #lifeofadventurer #girlywanderlust #globelletravelers #letsgosomewherenew #neverstopneversettle #chasingwanderlust #tasteintravels #girlsvsglobe #shetravels #sheisnotlost #ipreview via @preview.app
If only we could relive last weekend of celebrating the engagement of @_ashjaeger and @_jfraser . Had such an amazing night and cannot wait to stand up there with this group of awesome people on your big day later this year 😍. . . . . #engagementparty #itgotlit #lovelove#hellomolly #coolytans #workofart #ipreview via @preview.app
Last week was the first time the lil sis @annaliseyoung and I have ever seen a proper ballet, and the first time in a while I worn heels, if you caught my story a week ago, you would have seen . . . I struggled . . . Immensely! 😬 The ballet was amazing! It was the Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, performed by @ausballet. I’m glad this was my first ballet as it was a little more on the contemporary side, rather than a straight up lyrical ballet. It was fabulous and would love to watch another ballet along the same lines performed by them! 👯‍♀️. . . . . #brisbane #lyrictheatre #theaustralianballet #qpac #brisbaneconventioncentre #alicesadventureinwonderland #aliceinwonderland #theatre #discoverbrisbane #mybrisbane #discoverqueensland #thisisqueensland #brisbanelife #danceyourheartout #doyoutravel #exploremore #passportable #stayandwander #traveldeeper #justbackfrom #traveladdict #socialaussies #travellingaussies #neverstopexploring #traveladdictedladies #ipreview via @preview.app
So I’ve been back home for 3 months now, it’s honestly flown by! But so glad I’ve been able to finally celebrate some amazing things with my nearest and dearest! 💕 The other weekend finding out that the lovely @ashleylaurenwelsh and @w3lshy93 are having another little boy, no doubt he will be just as adorable as the first 😍 So excited to meet him when he finally comes 🤗💙 fingers crossed I won’t be as awkward with the new born as I was with the first 😂 . . . . . . #finallyhome #socialaussies #lifeofadventurer #girlslovetravel #sheisnotlost #neverstoptravelling #neverstopexploring #travellingaussies #traveldames #girlsthattravel #traveladdictedladies #roamtheglobe #dametravelworld #girlywanderlust #globelletravelers #letsgosomewherenew #neverstopneversettle #chasingwanderlust #tasteintravels #girlsvsglobe #shetravels #ipreview via @preview.app
TRAVEL TRUTH TALK: One thing that not a lot of tour guides/full time travellers will talk about is, how rough the living conditions are on your body! For some guides, they lose a lot of weight because of the stress, for other guides (like myself), we just gain a heap of it! It fucks with your head so incredibly much! When the middle photo was taken, I was in Turkey at the end of my guiding season, with 3 of my best gal friends, and honestly, was just super, super upset, unmotivated and so incredibly unhappy with myself! For someone who is usually happy and bubbly and will forever babble on about self love, I had absolutely none of it for myself and honestly, I am only just starting to get back to it. I am posting this to motivate myself to try and keep myself accountable for getting back to that original weight before my guiding season started in 6 weeks, if not so much better than that! With hard work at the gym and consistently eating healthy, I know I can do it, considering there has been barely effort in regards to exercise and just eating healthy 70% of the time that has got that difference from October to now! I know it doesn’t seem like a lot but it feels like a lot to me ✌🏼 . . . . . #gettingthatselfloveback #traveltruth #traveltalk #fitnessjourney #lolisaidjourney #betterforit #fitnessforlife #positivemood #nopainnogain #strongnotskinny #workoutmotivation #girlslovetravel #socialaussies #travellingaussies #shetravels #ipreview via @preview.app
🇲🇦 ✨ T O D R A G O R G E ✨ 🇲🇦 ⠀⠀ You could say Todra Gorge was gorge-ous, and was just a really nice place to walk through! The place we were at was part of the widest part of the Gorge with hotels even being on the opposite side from where the main road was in the gorge. The cliffs are just under 300m in height with the occasional adrenaline fean visiting to indulge in rock climbing. ⠀⠀ The surrounding villages are also quite quaint! This was a good night for @sheagarnder93 and I, as it was a good rest night and where I was finally introduced to “Pretty Woman.” What a bloody great movie! ⠀⠀ Anyone else love a good movie night when travelling for prolonged periods of time? ⠀⠀ #moroccotravel #moroccobyyou #todragorge #travelbusinessbabes #busabout #busaboutcrew #busaboutmorocco #studentflights #girlslovetravel #sheisnotlost #neverstoptravelling #neverstopexploring #socialaussies #travellingaussies #traveldames #girlsthattravel #traveladdictedladies #roamtheglobe #dametravelworld #lifeofadventurer #girlywanderlust #globelletravelers #letsgosomewherenew #neverstopneversettle #chasingwanderlust #tasteintravels #girlsvsglobe #shetravels #sheisnotlost #ipreview via @preview.app
🇲🇦 ✨ A I T B E N H A D D O U ✨ 🇲🇦 ⠀⠀ This afternoon sitting on this veranda, was honestly such a highlight! We walked to the top where the second photo was taken however, it was incredibly windy, felt like we were going to get blown away! ⠀⠀ After our adventure to the top we rested back in this spot, which was consistently referred to as “Khalessi’s Terrance” by @sheagardner93 but watching her being in so much joy, witnessing the sunset and sipping on the addictive Moroccan tea, it was all I needed for the perfect afternoon! The locals here were so lovely also and we definitely down for a chat! ⠀⠀ #moroccotravel #moroccanfood #exploremorocco #busabout #busaboutcrew #busaboutmorocco #studentflights #girlslovetravel #sheisnotlost #neverstoptravelling #neverstopexploring #socialaussies #travellingaussies #traveldames #girlsthattravel #traveladdictedladies #roamtheglobe #dametravelworld #lifeofadventurer #girlywanderlust #globelletravelers #letsgosomewherenew #neverstopneversettle #chasingwanderlust #tasteintravels #girlsvsglobe #shetravels #sheisnotlost #travelbusinessbabes via @preview.app
