Description

Short, voice-driven travel stories, made for anyone curious about the quieter corners of the world. I’m an Australian who’s somehow lived half a life in Europe. Home these days is a sailboat, though I spend as much time in airports as I do at sea. I record these stories wherever I can find a patch of stillness, sometimes in a marina, sometimes in a gale, sometimes balancing my phone on a suitcase in a boarding lounge. These are stories from the sea, the road, and the places my mother once wandered. For anyone who’s ever looked out a train window and made up a story about it. Love Lyss.
