Hello everyone! I’m Rachele and I am 24 years old!

Where I come from?

I was born and raised in a small seaside town in Liguria, Italy.
My parents — funny story — met 35 years ago at the Oktoberfest. My father was born in Mexico and grew up in California. My mother was born in a small town in northern Italy and then went to live in London in her 20s.
I have a brother who is 9 years older than me, he’s a chef on sailboats, and constantly travels around the world.
