Rachel Firchau

Rachel Firchau is an optimistic adventurer who believes in taking life by the reins, even if it means sacrificing her time, money, and more often than not, sleep. If you've ever met her, you'd know it's not a surprise to see her booking a last-minute trip across the country or encouraging others to do the same. She is the face and the narrative behind RachelOffDuty.com, a travel and career blog aimed at helping women see the world beyond 9-to-5. When she isn't blogging, she stays true to her word by holding down her own 9-to-5 in the advertising world. She believes in making travel feel like a tangible reality for all, even if you work in corporate no-days-off America (can we get an amen?). Follow her on Instagram @RachelOffDuty.
