Rachel Jones

Travel Blogger & Thai Yoga Masseuse
Living for 2 years along the tropical hippie coast of Goa, India & am a PRO on traveling all around India … sometimes in high heels.

Expertise

Budget travel

I traveled Western Europe for under 2,000 USD for one month, Eastern Europe for even less, and in India I managed under 2,000 USD for THREE months (with LOTS of shopping)

Solo travel

I backpacked India alone… I still get looks from Indians who think I'm nuts! But it's safe and it was the time of my life- which is why I now live here.

Expat life

I've been in India for 2 years living, renting an apartment, paying bills, working as a masseuse, and can deal with all the paperwork necessary for living abroad.

Health & safety

I am a nurse! I was a cardiac nurse for a couple years before I threw it away for India. I can advise which shots you need, which vaccinations are too expensive to bother and if you REALLY need those malaria pills. I have fought dengue fever alone in India and can help you get through just about anything.

Female travel

I was mentioned by ELLE magazine for being a "hippie in heels", a girly take on travel while also keeping it real. I like to dress cute but still go to somewhat dangerous/off the beaten path places. It's all about balance!

India

I have lived in Goa, India for 2 years and travel extensively throughout. I help readers from my website plan trips throughout India. Other than being and expat here, I work as a masseuse and am studying Hindi!I first came as a backpacker. I spent under 2,000 USD in almost 3 months. I'm a pro on backpacking India from what to pack, how to dress cute but also respective & if you really want, I will teach you the Indian head wobble. An ex-nurse, I beat dengue fever & can hep with vaccination list

Eastern Europe

Cesky Krumlov and Dubrovnik that beat going to Paris any day! It's easier to travel cheap here and culture is rich. I spent 6 weeks backpacking with a friend on a budget of 2,000 USD.

North America

This one is pretty simple: I'm from the US. I lived in Ohio, but also lived in Charlotte, NC, and Seattle, WA. I spent a lot of time in LA, Chicago, and NYC. Basics like FL and AL are easy vacation places to plan out.

Indian Subcontinent

I have lived in Goa, India for 2 years and travel extensively throughout. I help readers from my website plan trips throughout India. Other than being and expat here, I work as a masseuse and am studying Hindi!I first came as a backpacker. I spent under 2,000 USD in almost 3 months.
