about us - inspiring travel

Justin Jamieson is the Founder and Publisher of get lost. Justin's passion for travel has led him to all corners of the globe and inspired him to create an authentic publication for like-minded travellers. He hoped that publishing get lost would somehow appease the insatiable travel bug within him. Unfortunately, it has made it worse.

A widely published travel and adventure writer and photographer, Pat has edited a number of magazines in Australia since mysteriously washing up on these shores back in 1999. Okay, it wasn't that mysterious – he'd simply done a runner from the mean streets and frosty climes of the UK to explore the world and make his fortune. He's still running and exploring, but the fortune-making part is on hold for the moment.

Catherine is a widely published travel writer with an irrational fear of outer space. The martians can have it to themselves, but anywhere else is free game. She blames a childhood caravan adventure around Australia for tickling her feet, and they have been itching ever since. For years Catherine tried to suppress her travelling obsession working as a newshound. Truth is, she is more comfortable in hiking boots and scuba gear than pinstripes and pumps. Just don’t ask her to wear a space suit.

Kelly Irving is an accomplished travel writer, researcher and editorial gymnast. She's always hungry for the next big adventure, whether it’s swimming the icy waters of Finland or diving with sharks at the Blue Hole in Belize. Kelly continues to write her way around the world – and then some.

Belinda Jackson began her travel-writing career to ease the pain of writing finance while based in Ireland. Later, she flipped a coin between Buenos Aires and Cairo, ending up in the Middle East, where she has since left a piece of her heart. She can read a street markets by its scent, is a graceless horse rider and a guerrilla shopping pro. She now defines fear as hearing an avalanche while clinging to a glacier on a Russian mountain.

Tom Perry (www.tomperry.com.au) is a writer and photographer who lives in the 900+ islands of the Solomon Islands. Working as the on-staff journalist for the Australian-led peacekeeping/aid mission, Tom's work has taken him to some of the most remote parts of the South Pacific. He recently published his first book, SOLO. In a prior life Tom worked as the media guy at Melbourne Airport for four years. He even escorted David Hasselhoff through Customs.

A hopeless wanderer since birth, Jan Villalon was constantly trotting out of sight as a kid, usually in search of adventures and candy. Not much has changed, except now she gets to write about her exploits. Jan is a California girl at heart, but she's been happy to stay put in Melbourne long enough to call it home.
