Who is Sarb Johal?

Here is how Sarb Johal describes himself:

I’m a psychologist, dad, and middle-aged mid-pack late-starting runner from London. I now live in Wellington, New Zealand, where I have been based for most of my adult life.

I’m also a writer, speaker and broadcaster with an insatiable curiosity about this human experience. I’m the author of the bestselling ‘Finding Calm: Managing Fear and Anxiety in an Uncertain World’; ‘The Little Book of Sleep‘, and ‘Steady: Keeping Calm in a World Gone Viral’. I’ve written for The Guardian, The Hill, Psychology Today, the Sunday Star-Times here in New Zealand, as well as numerous other podcasts and media appearances. (source)

His newest publication, launched in October 2023, is “where you find all the behind-the-scenes audio, video, photos, thoughts, gadgets, gear and experiences in my intermittent nomad life.” (source)

In announcing this new publication, Sarb Johal explains:

It’s essentially an extension to my YouTube channel, The TechPacker, where I make videos about travel tech and gear. Besides curating travel gadgets and gear, I'll also help you with choosing and using tech like cameras, apps, and navigating with your devices while traveling.

I'll cover paying for stuff in tricky places like China and working remotely without compromising your online safety. I'll also share tips on navigating airports, using land transport when we can, public transport options and stories, plus behind-the-scenes photos, videos, and blogs - it's a lot of stuff.

In the most recent post, he shares his first impressions of the Insta360, a new action/vlogging camera.
