Through storytelling, exploration, learning, and a good dose of curiosity, I help bring ocean, nature and travel stories to life in a way that sparks curiosity and encourages people to care more for our natural world.
I’m Ráchelle, after spending years traveling the world alone as a solo female traveler, I eventually found what grounded me most beneath the surface of the ocean.
What initially started with curiosity, fascination, and even a little bit of fear, has become a sense of connection, purpose and responsibility.
Today, I use storytelling to bring you closer to our blue planet. From raw ocean adventures and encounters with wildlife to conservation work and the people dedicating their lives to protecting these places.
Through the stories I share, I hope to take you beyond simply seeing the natural world, and invite you to understand it, feel connected to it and perhaps become a little more curious about your own place within it.
Sharing stories from beneath the surface to inspire curiosity, connection, and care for our oceans.
My Story
Guardians of the African Seaforest which is filmed within South Africa's Great African Seaforest, aims to highlight the connection between South Africa’s people and its marine ecosystems, highlighting underrepresented narratives within environmental conservation.
"As marine scientist Mark guides newcomer Zoë into the beautiful and ecologically important Great African Seaforest of South Africa, their journey unravels a story of belonging, representation, and hope for a marine space where everyone can see themselves as part of its future."
Currently in post-production. Aimed release is June 2027.
