My name is Raquel

For the past 11 years I've been immersing myself in different African cultures by repeatedly visiting the Motherland, living in Ghana and building relationships with dozens of Africans from various countries. This has given me a connection to and appreciation for some of the thousands of different ethnic groups on the continent.

I've been solo international traveling since I was 17 years old when I spent 4 weeks abroad. I've visited over 20 countries thus far and lived on 3 continents. These experiences have taught me a great deal about traveling such as how to do so safely, the best and worst times to travel, how and when to make travel arrangements, how to prepare for a trip that's one weekend or over one year, and much more. 

I'm deeply passionate about making travel to Africa easier and more convenient for everyone.
