Inside this episode, Rachel Wood dives deep into the world of solo travel, photography, NFTs, and van life.
Rachel spent most of her childhood and early adult life traveling the world. Early on, her parents would bring Rachel on Habitat For Humanity mission trips through church creating a love for exploration and adventure. Now in her late twenties, Rachel continues to value real-life experiences over possessions as she works her way around the globe.
Just 3 years ago Rachel was traveling in South America exploring her new love for photography where she landed her first paid photography job. Since then, Rachel has built an impressive library of photography while amassing tens of thousands of Twitter followers all around their love for art and travel.
Rachel has become a growing force to be reconed with in the NFT space selling everything from traditional landscape pieces, abstract, cultural images to composites. She now mentors other artist and individuals who are looking to make a change in their lives toward persuing their passions.
In the summer of 2022, Rachel launched the Artverse. A platform connecting digital artist to collectors. Here digital artist can display 1 or 1 works or editions linking back to their chosen auction platform for purchase. Web 3 is coming and Rachel is outfront of the curve with understanding monitization and community inside this space.
I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. Her energy, smile and personality quickly make you fall in love with her and her work.
