  • Why do so many people uproot their lives and move to a new and often strange part of the world? What are the motivations and impacts on doing so? What are the success stories and what are the not so successful stories?

  • Episode Eight - All the way from Kenya - It's Mel!
    Oct 24 2024

    This week, Rob connects with his old college friend Mel, an Austrian-born French American who has spent the past 13 years in Kenya. Her unique background makes for an incredibly compelling story.

    Mel, a graduate in war studies and human rights, stands out as one of the most insightful individuals we've spoken to on the podcast.

    Her journey began with her parents who worked for the United Nations, giving her a rich multicultural foundation. Then, what started as a three-month field trip in Kenya transformed into an extensive and impactful adventure, filled with highs and lows as Mel deeply engaged with the local culture and community.

    Mel's remarkable story is not only captivating but also essential listening. Don’t miss this one!

  • Episode Seven - We've got Rob's Mum on the Show!
    Aug 13 2024

    In this week's episode, we have the pleasure of sitting down with Rob's Mum, who has also been known to answer to “Manel”. During a wonderful stay at the family home in Somerset, Chris delved deeply into Manel's intriguing life story, from her father's journey from Sri Lanka to India where he met her mother, to their eventual move to West London.

    Through our engaging conversation, Manel shares the complexities of her upbringing in a strict religious household, her liberation to attend teaching college, and the newfound freedom to socialise with friends at the pub.

    We also explore how her quest for independence has influenced her parenting style with her two children and how a health-scare not only brought the family closer but also ignited her desire to explore the world. It's a truly captivating and insightful discussion!

  • Episode Six - Bristol to London, via Sydney - This is Katy's Story!
    Jul 31 2024

    In our sixth episode, we have the pleasure of getting to know Katy, a Bristol native who sought solace from the fast pace of London by embarking on an adventure down under in Australia.

    Over the span of eight years, she indulged in harbour-side living, enjoyed pilates on the beach, and embraced the spirit of adventure down under. Despite this fairy-tale life, she felt a longing for something greater. Something idyllic vistas couldn’t provide.

    Will Katy ever go back to Australia or is she content with life back in the UK? Tune in to find out.
