Rachel was born in England and considers herself to be a proud, working-class northerner. She worked in the UK for thirty years as a primary school teacher and deputy headteacher and also holds a headship qualification, a role she never fancied taking. She also holds a TEFL qualification and still dabbles a bit in teaching from time to time. Many years ago, she found her perfect view in the mountains of northern Tuscany and renovated a house there. She made the permanent move to Italy in 2022. In 2023, life threw her a curveball, and she moved to a small Tuscan city while running her mountain home as a holiday let. City life did not agree with her (or her cat) and she now lives on a small island in the Mediterranean where she likes to take long walks, admire the views and collect sea glass.
