About Rachel

Hi, I’m Rachel Teo.

I’m a Lifestyle & Travel Writer based in the Kansai region of Japan.

Born in Singapore, I’ve been a resident in Japan for almost a decade, and I’ve travelled extensively throughout the country.

Before becoming a writer, I was in academic journal management, academic research, and teaching. I studied bioethics, philosophy, and psychology at Monash University, while living in Melbourne, Australia.

I’m an avid plant-lover, devout coffee-drinker, and a picnic enthusiast. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me looking after my many plants, picking up a new hobby, or listening to an audiobook!
