- RACHEL WOLCHIN
THE #NOREGRETS PHILOSOPHY

This is your youth. You only get to live it once, Celebrate individuality, diversity, connections
but if you do it right once is more than enough & a little bit of craziness
Find comfort outside your comfort zone
Live life on your own terms - create the stories
now that youll recount for decades to come See the world through youthful eyes, a little
bit of naivety & a truckload of optimism
Make new friends from new places
Live for the moment. Have #NOREGRETS,
Travel a lot. Its the only thing youll buy just memories
thatll make you richer And above all... Make every moment count.
