Rachel Davies

Rachel Tranter Davies, originally from Norfolk, UK, now calls Kyoto, Japan her home. When not exploring the city’s ancient Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, Zen gardens, palaces and pagodas, you’ll often find her hiking in the Japanese mountain countryside, relaxing in the healing waters of an onsen, sipping on a cocktail or brandishing her chopsticks at one of the city’s many amazing restaurants. Her favourite places? Provence, Amalfi Coast and Shikoku. Dream destination? Wine tasting in Napa or watching the snowfall from a hot tub in the Dolomites.
