Rachel Lay
Rachel Lay is a writer with over a decade of experience in Australia’s media and travel industries. Based in Brisbane, you’ll never find her at home on the weekend. Rather, her preference is to be out exploring: hiking, eating, or drinking through her backyard. But, she’s never home for too long. Rachel has one important life motto: Always. Have. A. Trip. Booked. Whether it’s trekking with orang-utans in Sumatra, scaling a mountain in Morocco or eating from a teensy plastic chair on a street somewhere in South East Asia, Rach has a story waiting to be told.
