“You have to be generous to everything around you.” – Rachel Rudwall
Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure is Rachel Rudwall, also known as Rachel Roams. She’s an EMMY-nominated explorer, TV host, producer, travel blogger, influencer, and all-around fun travel personality. She has done creative projects in over seventy countries and on all seven continents.
In this episode, Rachel shares her memorable travel experiences and her evolution as a storyteller, from pitching projects in front of and behind the camera. She also discusses travel experiences with her supportive husband and how she realized that she is an “Instragram wife.”
You’ll love this episode and adore Rachel as she generously and entertainingly shares how she captures moments on camera. As much as she loves being in front of the camera, she thinks being behind it is an essential skill. Whichever side she’s on, she tries to remember that it isn’t about her, it’s about facilitating the interplay between an idea and an audience.

- How Rachel thinks of herself as a vehicle for storytelling
- Rachel’s favorite countries

Quotes:
“In order to be effective on either side, it is important to know what it’s like on the opposite side.” – Rachel Rudwall
“Whether you are in front of or behind the camera, it is important to remember that it is not about you.” – Rachel Rudwall
“You have to be generous to everything around you. You have to really listen, instead of always talking. You have to read people’s expressions, instead of assuming what they are going to say.” – Rachel Rudwall
“If you have a thing you really care about, or are excited about, learning to pitch and learning to weather the process of pitching will be really important.” – Rachel Rudwall
“We have expectations about everything. And my homework this year, and moving forward, is to let go of expectations because they are not serving you.” – Rachel Rudwall
“I can have goals to learn more, or become better at what I am doing, to be more patient. Goals, in that sense? Great. But to expect a certain outcome isn’t serving you. And so, I am allowing things that don’t serve me, like that, to just slip away.” – Rachel Rudwall
