Robert G. Rose
Robert G. Rose is a media entrepreneur, travel journalist, producer and host best known as the creator of Raw Travel, the long-running television series focused on authentic, socially conscious and off-the-beaten-path travel. Through his company, AIM Tell-A-Vision Group, Rose has built a career around independent media, underserved audiences and stories that connect travel with culture, community and social impact.
A Career Built Around Independent Media and Travel That Matters
Before launching Raw Travel, Rose worked in television advertising sales and later joined Univision in New York, where he saw an opportunity to create English-language programming for U.S.-born Latino audiences. That insight led to American Latino Syndication and the nationally syndicated programs American Latino TV and LatiNation, which helped establish Rose as an early voice in culturally relevant media.
After selling American Latino Syndication, Rose began traveling more extensively through Latin America. Those experiences shaped the idea for Raw Travel, a travel show that moved away from luxury-driven tourism and toward real cultural encounters, independent travel, social responsibility, voluntourism, sustainability and giving back.
Since its debut in 2013, Raw Travel has brought viewers into communities around the world through stories rooted in authenticity, empathy and human connection. Rose’s work also reflects his longtime interest in music, grassroots culture and creative independence through Punk Outlaw Records, which has supplied music and cultural texture for his travel storytelling.
