Rachel Grant is an actor, travel host, writer and inspirational speaker known for her bright presence and lively storytelling.

Rachel brings warmth and humour to every stage, and her energy makes her a firm favourite with audiences of all ages.

Rachel spent her childhood in Nottingham after her family moved from the Philippines when she was a baby, and her early years shaped a culturally rich perspective that later informed her work. She trained in performance and gained her first credits on UK sets, including early television roles that taught her how to hold an audience. Her interest in global stories grew during her first international assignments, where she learned to navigate unpredictable filming conditions and adapt quickly. She also developed strong discipline and focus through Silat and Kali training under Guro Dan Inosanto, which became a foundation for her confidence on screen. 

Her career spans a wide range of film, television and travel projects. Rachel is recognised for her work as Professor Myang Li on Brainiac, Science Abuse, and for performances in series such as Emmerdale, Blue Murder, Murder in Suburbia and Casualty. Her film credits include roles in The Purifiers, Until Death, The Tournament and Snatchers. She fronted the Bravo TV series Tour Group as lead travel guide, taking audiences through ten episodes of global exploration. Her viral video ‘How to Pack Over 100 Items in a Carry On’ reached more than twenty million viewers and was featured internationally. She has guest hosted programmes such as the Rachael Ray Show, QVC and Hallmark, where she shared travel guidance with national audiences. She also founded Meals of Joy, a community feeding initiative in the Philippines, and helped support the building of a typhoon shelter and school in Bani. Alongside acting and speaking, Rachel has written and photographed stories from Nicaragua, Jamaica, Ecuador and the Amazon.
