Rachel Chang

Californian-turned-New Yorker (well, Hobokenite) Rachel started her editorial career chasing celebrities as a teen and entertainment magazine editor (Us Weekly, CosmoGIRL!, J-14). Along the way, she also started chasing passport stamps, writing travel stories for Airbnb Magazine, Travel + Leisure, Rolling Stone, Parade, and Mic. She now covers both travel and pop culture while wandering the world—often reluctantly running races (including the NYC marathon, twice) along the way.
