An explorer asking who adventure is really for

Rebecca Rayner is an explorer and journalist investigating what exploration means in real life — and who gets to claim it.
Her work treats exploration as a lived practice rather than a performance, shaped by place, identity, constraint, and care. Through long-form storytelling and sustained exploration projects, Rebecca examines how curiosity is built and sustained across real lives, including motherhood, neurodiversity, work, class, burnout, and access, and how these contexts quietly reshape ambition, risk, and belonging.
With a background in journalism and experience within the travel industry, Rebecca combines place-based research with lived inquiry, asking not just where we go, but how we move through the world and what stories we tell about who exploration is for. Her work is grounded in proximity, responsibility, and return — exploring familiar landscapes as seriously as distant ones, and valuing depth over spectacle.
Rebecca speaks on modern exploration, lived authority, neurodivergent ways of seeing, motherhood and identity, and exploration through constraint. Her talks invite audiences to rethink adventure, success, and expertise, and to recognise exploration as something practiced over time, within real, imperfect lives.
