Out Of Office: A Travel Podcast is hosted by Ryan Davis and Kiernan Schmitt, two people who caught the travel bug early and never looked back. Their conversations stretch the idea of what a journey can be, finding adventure just down the road as readily as on a distant continent. Each episode focuses on a single theme, weaving together personal stories, practical tips, and broader reflections that can shift from deeply thoughtful to genuinely humorous without warning. You’ll hear discussions that might cover the nuances of packing light, the ethics of tourism, the joy of getting lost in a familiar city, or the sheer logistics of planning an epic trek. The tone is less about presenting a perfect itinerary and more about sharing a mindset-one that finds curiosity and discovery in both the grand and the mundane aspects of moving through the world. This podcast operates on the belief that an exploratory spirit can be applied anywhere, and that the stories we collect along the way are what truly shape us. It’s a show for anyone who feels that pull to see what’s around the corner, offering grounded advice and genuine camaraderie for all kinds of trips. Listening feels like getting travel advice from well-traveled friends who are just as passionate about a clever day-trip hack as they are about a life-changing overseas odyssey.
