Jamie Edwards is the creator of I am Lost and Found—a website that inspires travel. She created I am Lost and Found to share experiences about the places she's been, hoping that it inspires others to travel, too.

Travel has taken Jamie to far corners of the Earth—from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic continent. Jamie's bungee jumped in New Zealand, climbed the Tiger's Nest in Bhutan, and tracked silverback gorillas in Uganda. Along the way, she met fascinating people, a Burundian Olympic Gold medalist, a Cambodian monk, and a Sámi shaman.

Jamie writes about travel because she's an ardent sharer of her favorite experiences. Her writing aims to transport people to destinations so they feel they're right there too. Or better yet, she hopes her writing encourages people to book a flight and explore those destinations themselves.

In this episode Jamie shares about her experiences traveling to Croatia-both by land and sea.
