Out of Office is a travel podcast hosted by us, Ryan Davis and Kiernan Schmitt. From early childhood, we were each infected with a serious case of wanderlust (among other things.) We define travel broadly, from local day trips to high-flyin’ overseas adventures. Every episode, we dig into one topic—ranging from the serious to the silly, the practical to the outlandish—and give advice on how to get... more

  • Great for both history and travel lovers!

    I just found this podcast and I have been listening to it all week long. As a fellow traveler and history lover, I find their episodes entertaining and full of great suggestions. I live in Nashville and loved all the Tennessee episodes. I have traveled many places in the world that their episodes cover and I agree with many of the off-the-beaten path tips. I also like learning about some of the places I have been, especially in South America, and will use some of their suggestions in my travel p... more

  • Graveyard and Woman Pilot

    What can I say. I love this podcast. After these last few weeks, I am particularly grateful for it. I have to say, listening to two friends as passionate about travel and nerdy museums as I am brings joy. We are going to need a lot more to get through these next four years.

    Anyways, as far as graveyards. We spent time in Edinburgh and northern Wales this past July. We had the chance to visit the Greyfriars Kirkyard. If you ever have a chance, it is sooo cool. So many stories there!!

  • Great show! Tips on solo travel?

    Love the pod; earnest, open-minded, fun, and funny! I’m pretty sure the theme music lowers my blood pressure.

    I enjoy solo travel (male, mid-30s) and would love an episode or more on your experiences traveling solo. Most of your advice would already apply, but it would be great to hear some specific tips for going it alone in an unfamiliar place! Lodging, exploring, dining alone without feeling awkward, etc.

    Keep up the great work, guys!
