Ep 167 - Adventures on the Pan-American Highway with Chris and Sara

Author: Voyascape Media December 5, 2024 Duration: 1:23:59

Welcome to this week's episode with Chris and Sara, who are currently on the Pan-American Highway with their dog Kramer and their campervan. They took time out of their trip to talk to me about their current adventure, previous travels, why they can't get out of Mexico, being a travel creator couple, YouTube, their podcast 'What No One Tells You', and so much more.

The conversation also delves into their backgrounds, how they met, and their passion for travel and adventure. In this conversation, James and his guests share their experiences of travelling internationally, particularly their first trips to El Salvador and Thailand. They discuss the cultural differences they encountered, the food they enjoyed, and their connections with locals.

The conversation also delves into their journey of starting a YouTube channel while living in a van, the challenges of balancing travel with content creation, and the evolution of their channel from van life to broader travel experiences.

They explore the intricacies of content creation, particularly in travel vlogging and podcasting. They discuss the importance of B-roll in storytelling, the challenges of maintaining consistency in content production, and the risk of burnout many creators face.

The dialogue also touches on creative strategies for travel vlogging, the significance of connecting with audiences, and their future travel goals. The episode concludes with a fun, quickfire round of travel-related questions, revealing personal preferences and insights into their travel experiences.

Thanks, guys, for coming on the show!

Smart Travel Podcast


Every Monday, James Hammond sets off with a microphone, and the resulting audio feels less like a planned production and more like you’ve been handed a pair of headphones in the middle of an adventure. Winging It Travel Podcast, from Voyascape Media, is built on the idea that the most compelling stories aren't found in guidebooks but in the unplanned moments and raw reactions that happen along the way. You’ll hear the crunch of gravel underfoot on a remote trail, the bustling chaos of a foreign market, and the genuine conversations that unfold when plans fall apart. This approach transforms each episode into a deeply personal journal entry, documenting not just places, but the cultural and human textures that define them. It’s a documentary of feeling as much as fact. While the soundscapes are cinematic, the heart of the podcast lies in its authenticity-the slight breathlessness from hiking up a volcano, the surprise at a strange local delicacy, the quiet reflection after a long day navigating unfamiliar streets. The journey covers the societal layers and personal transformations that travel sparks, making it about more than destinations. Tune in weekly to find yourself completely immersed, feeling as if you’re right there beside James, figuring it all out as you go.
