Rachael Tabb - 34A

When was the last time you were nervous?

Last holidays I did a 4 day hike on my own in Tasmania. Not only was this the first multi day hike I had done but it was the first time I had ever done something like this on my own. I had wanted to do it for a really long time and I was super nervous in the lead up. Once I got started the nerves went away and I enjoyed every single minute!

What would a ‘perfect’ day look like for you?

This is easy … get up early, do some sort of exercise then have a yummy breakfast (smashed avocado with a boiled egg). It would be a warm sunny day and I would head to the beach with a book, music on hand and snacks because I’d stay there most of the day. Afterwards, I would catch up with friends and family for dinner and drinks with an acoustic guitar player playing in the background, and then maybe a bit of a boogie on the dance floor!

Which celebrity do you get mistaken for?

I have been told a few times I look a bit like Gwyneth Paltrow … not too sure about that one!

What did you want to be when you were younger?

A marine biologist because I loved the ocean and sea creatures but I also wanted to be an air hostess at one point. My passion for working with children and teaching obviously outweighed both of those!

When are you the happiest?

When I’m outside being active and exploring. When I’m travelling or on a holiday, whether it’s a relaxing holiday or an adventurous holiday. Also spending time with my family and friends, who I am very grateful for
