This Is Coolest Travel Job Ever: Location Scouting For Film & TV
Welcome back to Extra Baggage!
This week, Folly chats with Rory Higgs, a seasoned location scout in the film and TV industry. With over seven years of experience and credits on major productions like Oppenheimer, Napoleon, Bridgerton, and the upcoming action comedy Heads of State, Rory knows how to find the perfect backdrop for a great story. He's travelled to over 40 countries, has a deep love for exploring new places, and is now based in Toronto where he’s launched his own production company.
We talk about how he got into the world of location scouting, how travel plays a central role in his life and work, and where he’s dreaming of heading next. It's a fun one!

so you want to solo travel in 2025?
Hello friends!!!
Welcome to Extra Baggage, a travel podcast where I unpack how, where, and why people travel so you can travel better. I’m Folly (your host and travel big sis), and I am so excited to be back with another episode!
SO, what’s this episode about?
This week, we’re talking about solo travel—because if you’re always waiting for someone to come with you, you might never go. We’ll get into how to pick the right destination, choosing accommodation that feels safe and social, and practical tips for navigating the world on your own (without scaring yourself out of doing it).
If you enjoyed the episode, please feel free to leave a review, like, share, subscribe do all the things. It really helps more people find Extra Baggage (and makes me feel like I’m not just talking into the void).
