OUR LIFE IN TRANSIT

OUR LIFE IN TRANSIT A place for storytellers, adventurers and homemakers. This it seems is a major encumbrance for folks with a desire to travel.

Our Life In Transit began as a means of keeping our family up to date with our (Adam & Melanie) travels, and as a creative outlet in 2014. As the OLIT blog gained (unexpected) momentum it became apparent that the stories and images that we were sharing were actually inspiring others to pursue their own adventures. We were flooded with questions of ‘How do you….?’ and ‘Where would you recommend….?’

, we found ourselves, (somewhat haphazardly), in a position to encourage, and help others to embark on their own journeys, sharing from our own experiences, successes, and failures. As seasoned travellers we have become aware of the false dichotomy between a life of travel, and making a home. The ethos of OLIT is informed by this detrimental mindset and we herald the notion that one can enjoy a life of exploration, and the simple pleasure of all that is ‘home’ simultaneously. We have gained infinitely from our adventures and accordingly hope that others might also embark on such formative undertakings. It is our hope that Our Life In transit would primarily be a tool that inspires, informs and equips people to live a lifestyle of exploration as well as investing in quality home life.

This is my own Travellers Wallet. It’s starting to develop some character after clocking some miles over the holiday period.

This is my favourite thing about leather...a new wallet is a fresh canvas, ready to display an accumulation of many scars, tales, and memories.

Get your own Travellers Wallet from the ‘Supplies’ section of the site now. Beautiful patina aside - these are perfect for keeping your cards, cash, passport and tickets safe, secure, and organised.

Life is better with a Bronco Wallet.

Cards up front and cash money in the back. The Bronco will securely contain a good wad of cards and all the notes and/or coins you need. Each piece is hand cut from 3-4oz harness leather, embossed with the OLIT makers mark, and hand stitched with waxed linen thread before the edges are burnished with bees wax.

Our leather goods are made from high quality full grain American leather. A rich and beautiful patina will be achieved with use, meaning your wallet will look better and better with age.
