Rachel Bilson: Africa for InStyle!

Rachel Bilson visits an office building on Wednesday afternoon (December 16) in Santa Monica, Calif.

JustJared.com can exclusively reveal that the 26-year-old How I Met Your Mother actress went to Africa earlier this month for her monthly InStyle column, Ask Rachel. (It was right before her trip to New York City.) No word on which issue will include her travels but it’s not the January 2010 issue with Whitney Houston on the cover!
