On the topic of travel, as we are all staying put and unable to get around as we once usually would have, in this episode I am joined by the Potts family from Leeds.\\xa0

I thought it would be nice explore the Potts family\\u2019s travel bug, where it comes from and learn about their time living in Perth, Australia and what they did while there.\\xa0

Adventures are fun at the best of times and I love the sound of a good old family adventure!\\xa0

What is absolutely clear currently is that we, well not all of us, but most of us don\\u2019t have the quick and easy pleasure of travelling like we used to.\\xa0

Even though it\\u2019s not ideal as we\\u2019re so used to living in a world where everything is so close by I do feel and hope that there are significant benefits to staying put as it reduces aviation pollution levels and lets the earth have a breather.\\xa0

So while we do our bit to observe, or not to observe lockdown, the one thing we can definitely do is to think back, reminisce and remind ourselves of all the memories we\\u2019ve made while travelling.\\xa0

In this conversation I ask the Potts family many questions and now on reflection I know there were so many things I\\u2019d like to ask! We talk about living abroad, itchy feet and travelling, being sporty and fit, the ups and downs of moving and living abroad and what they all learned about themselves and each other. What also started being uncovered is a bit of a love story.\\xa0

Now, I am a sucker for a good love story!\\xa0

It\\u2019s a story of connection between two people which transcends culture, background and race. But the lived reality shines a light on the darker side of the lack of acceptance.\\xa0

It becomes apparent when hearing my guests, that not everyone really sees the value of each of us as humans.\\xa0 The limitations of our belief systems means that there are still many hangups about cross cultural relationships and even though now things might be changing there is still headway to be made.\\xa0

I am sure you will enjoy hearing the Potts family. Remember to leave your feedback, reviews and suggestions on social media posts and on podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts.
