Hi! My name is Rachel Maccini and I am teaching English in Bonn, Germany. I am excited to explore new cities, practice my German, and share my journey with you all!

This week in Bonn, I spent time walking around the city and enjoying everyday life. A few friends visited from a nearby city, making the week much more fun. I also took a trip to Liège, Belgium.

My Fulbright year in Germany taught me courage, belonging and cultural connection while building meaningful relationships across borders, and I’m grateful we got to share this experience.

I explored how Bonn meets community needs through public parks, focusing on national planning programs that created shared green spaces connecting people to their city.
I spent a weekend in Stockholm, exploring the archipelago and old town, trying Swedish meals and enjoying the sun, Baltic Sea and winter sunsets!
