A few months ago I reached out to some travel podcast hosts to see if they might be interested in cross promoting each others podcasts. Travis was the first to reply. Travis is a dad, husband and avid traveler. In this podcast you can hear him talk about his podcast So How was the trip as well as get grilled with some classic Lost in transit questions.

Last week the tourism minister in Brazil announced as of June 17th 2019 they are Discontinuing the e visa program for americans (Australians, Japanese and Canadians) allowing them visa free travel for 90 days with the possibility of extending to 180 days.
So first I would like to start off by saying this podcast is what I do sometimes and it’s not something you have to live by. Below you will find a list of the things I talk about that I carry with me. It will be broken up in sections much like in the podcast.
This is my home - The North Face Base Camp Duffle Size Small, Plain Black T-Shirts , Quick Dry Underwear, Socks - I usually try and wear socks with some flare. , Pants - I tend to lean towards plain old fashion levi’s. I rock those cargo shorts like a nerd. Also Swimmers , A Nice Fancy Shirt Some Thermal Undies, Anyone? and they all get stuffed in a Space Saver bag. It gets sweaty when you travel take a bandana or 2. It also get’s cold don’t forget to take a Hat. I keep all of my small things in these Eagle creek bags
Like is mentioned in the podcast toiletries are very personal but a few things you should consider taking is Earplugs and Drowny wrinkle Spray
So as I mentioned I make a emergency travel kit with a Rubbermade cupcake container, Rain Pancho, Emergency Blanket, Needle and thread, Lighters, Bandaids, Medical tape.
My Day Pack is Light weights and packable.
I keep my camera gear in another one of those Eagle Creek Bags. Inside the bag you will find 2 Leica Q Camera Batteries, 1 Leica Battery Charger, 4 (Depending on if i’ve got my computer) 64gb SD cards, A Battery Backup, Headphones (In a pelican 1010), 2 iPhone Chargers, 2 Lighting to 1/8” adaptors.
Sometimes I also carry My Computer and an external Harddrive.

Theres always one person who starts the trend and for Australia’s professional instagramer’s it was Lauren Bath. I have a chat with Lauren about her leaving life as a chef to becoming a traveling photographer.
For years I have always loved traveling and talking and just about anything that had to do with traveling so I figured maybe it was time to start a podcast. Welcome to the Lost in Transit Podcast.
