Another Hobby: Brazilian Paper Hot Air Balloons (If you do this be careful!) Artwork

So, There I Am...

This is Travis Jay Vernon and Welcome! to the So There I Am... Podcast. I have been spending time in the outdoors since I could walk. I started out catching frogs and insects, and then hunting with everything from a BB gun and archery gear, to chasing big game with a rifle. I have been an avid fisherman everywhere I have lived and traveled. Cooking, foraging, fishing, and hunting have been a driving force for me. The only thing I am more passionate about than these things is sharing them with others and teaching those who want to learn. Along the way I have told, heard, and lived different stories.Stories told well allow a listener to live vicariously, reminisce of past experiences, or even dream of adventures to come. I will be sharing stories with you from my own experiences as a fly-fishing guide, retail manager, outdoor enthusiast, traveler, explorer and just everyday life. There will be stories from guests and stories from friends and others in different locales and varied walks of life. Every day is an opportunity for new adventures and expanding your own story. Let’s get to the stories!So, there I am…

Another Hobby: Brazilian Paper Hot Air Balloons (If you do this be careful!)

Locations: Utah and Wisconsin

I am weird about my hobbies; they have always been cyclical with me. I would do one and dive in feet first. I tend to buy all the stuff you need and then I get excited about the next one and dive in again. It has created a lifelong love of learning and exploring new things. In the mid 90’s (yup I am that old now), I was in Brazil on a church mission. We were teaching a great guy who was retired Federal Police. He taught us about making these paper balloons. It is illegal to do in Brazil because of the fire danger…so of course I jumped in. More of a belly flop at the start but they got way better as I practiced and met others who enjoy it.

Get out there and live your stories!!
