So happy for you. Good luck in your new beginnings. I got married at 33 and had a baby at 36. Honestly it was a magical time in my life and I wish you magical years ahead. ( I am 50 and still happy) thank god
Awww Rachel, what an update! I’m so excited for you. The story of how you found out your Visa was accepted was just the best! So glad you and your boyfriend can now settle into your new life together.
Congratulations and welcome! I’m from the DMV area, and raised in Alexandria, VA. There are so many fun places for you to explore. Get ready for the hazy, hot, humid summer weather!
How exciting! I live right outside of DC. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom so sadly you'll miss that this year but you'll be coming right when the weather will be perfect. Safe travels!
Omg Rachel, I’m sitting here crying with happiness for you. Your beaming smile and how genuinely happy and excited you are in this video is just warming my heart so much. Go get em girl!
So happy for Rachel! I love DC! There are so many beautiful towns to explore. Williamsburg, VA is such a quaint little town. Can’t wait to see you settle into this next phase!
Rachel, I live in DC. Recommendations: Eastern Market on the weekend; Rock Creek Park for hiking; NoMa/H St/Union Market area for new restaurants. Nats baseball over the summer, night game is best to beat the heat. And... museums, museums, museums. The best free museums in the world.
Congratulations!!! I’ve been subscribed for a long time, and as a Torontonian, it’s been fun following your adventures in this city. I’m equally excited to see your new adventures in DC!!! We visited DC in 2014 and loved it! 😍
Aw thank you, I'm so sad I'm not moving back to TO but I hope to go visit often. I already have 2 trips planned in the next couple of months. It'll always be a home of mine 💛
Congratulations!! It’s wonderful that the wheel can start moving again! My dad and his family lived in Maryland in the 60s because my grandfather was a bricklayer and helped build some of the buildings along “the mall”! Yes, be ready for the humidity! All the best on your move!
I knew it's the US when you said it was taking so long to get a visa and they didn't allow you to talk about it. I just got married and am moving to another country too. Actually got my residence permit this week 🎉🎉🎉 which was way quicker than we expected! I'm older than you and starting a new life is exciting though I have more challenges - need to learn a new language and find a new job there. But it's a wonderful country in Europe I'm moving to and I like his town a lot, so I hope it will work out. Congrats and hope DC treats you well!
Born and raised in DC moved away when I was 24 to the West Coast never looked back lol but a few recommendations I suggest is DC cupcakes, Georgetown, the Smithsonian , the botanical garden in DC, the national mall, Arlington cemetery, Lincoln Memorial, the air and space museum in VA. Mount Vernon, VA. Old town Alexandria

Wow Rachel! What a relief for you! I remember applying for my Greek passport while I was in the UK on a working holiday visa, I applied for Greek citizenship through descent in 2001 and I only got it through in 2004…. Visa extensions, study visas…. My whole life was in the UK including my parents. I cried so hard when I got the Greek (EU) passport, I couldn’t even talk. There was alot of messing up on the Greek Embassy side as well, it was this constant worry. Now I am married with 2 beautiful daughters, I got my British citizenship and passport too, so I can now sleep soundly 😅❤ So happy for you (and your man!) ❤😊
Oh that sounds so stressful. I swear anything visa related is so stressful from all the waiting and the uncertainty. So glad everything came together for you in the end 💛💛
Congratulations! I am so happy for you! I am glad to see you back! I can't wait to see your new place and all the new adventures that your going have. Safe travels. and hugs

I knew it! When you said you couldn't talk about it, knew it was the US. Congrats gal! Looking forward to all the vids on the move, house hunting and Yaas that road trip, most definitely. I'm here for all of it.
I’ve been watching your content for years and this is the happiest I’ve ever seen you 🥹❤

I loved your Legally Blonde story. Elle Woods has inspired plenty aspects of my life as well. Lol. Congratulations and best wishes on your new adventures in DC!
Yayyyyy congratulations! I had a feeling it was gonna be the US!
So proud of you. I’ve been watching you for years. I’m a fellow Melbourne girl who’s a Canadian PR trying to get a US visa.
Can’t wait for all of the future videos 😊❤
I can totally see u connecting w Caroline Winkler- You girls & your hunnies remind me of each other!
I thought the same!
So happy for you. I did suspect you were going to move to where your boyfriend was - but I did think he was in Canada. Must have such a relief to get that email.
