Sharing stories and lessons
from a life well lived.
Listen to the Podcast
Travel With Us a While is a podcast about journeys — not just across oceans, deserts and continents, but through lives well-lived.
Hosted by Bron Hogan, the podcast is a collection of unhurried conversations with people who travel by land, sea, air… and sometimes far beyond their comfort zones. Sailors, wanderers, adventurers, writers, dreamers — everyday people with extraordinary stories to share.
Whether you’re planning your next adventure, reliving past travels, or simply armchair-travelling with a cup of tea in hand, Travel With Us a While is here to remind you that the journey matters just as much as the destination.
So come along — and travel with us a while.

Who is Bron Hogan?
I was born in a small town in Africa. Selukwe, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) in 1950 and have since lived and worked in Rhodesia, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, UK, and Australia.
I have lived an amazing full life, however have been no stranger to loss having lived through a war, lost a child at two days old, suffered 5 miscarriages and lost one husband to a brain tumour and another to advanced melanoma.
I’m sharing my stories to inspire, entertain and perhaps help others going through loss to show them there is light at the end of the tunnel and life certainly does go on.
