Lost and Found

You were too busy with your phrasebook trying to figure out how to ask if this was your bus stop, too engrossed in the festival to realise your bag was unzipped and your camera vulnerable. Running late for your plane and left the charger in the wall? Journal under the pillow? Sunnies on the dashboard?

As anyone who’s ever lost or left behind anything in the throes of travel will know, it can be anything from mildly annoying to downright devastating.

But it can also be an arcane glimpse into the universe’s very bizarre brand of synchronicity when, finally eligible to redeem those karma points you’ve been accruing over the years, the items somehow make their way back to you.

Been reunited with long lost belongings? Sustained a devastating loss? We’re listening.
