Rachel reflects on her time in Sicily and Rome—the beauty, the divine appointments, and the unexpected connections that became holy ground. From sunrise walks and quiet prayers to rooftop conversations and a chance encounter that turned into a cross-cultural friendship, she reminds us that love, kindness, and faith speak every language.

As she prepares to fly home, Rachel shares what this journey taught her about being fully present, finding God in ordinary moments, and trusting that every path—even the solo ones—can lead to purpose and peace.

This isn’t just a travel story—it’s a love letter to gratitude, courage, and the beauty of saying yes to wherever God leads.
