Ever the fabulous storyteller, this week we invite onto the podcast - Darius's Mum, Wilma! We like to keep it in the family over here at the Lovelly Travels Podcast and so this week is all about where Darius got his travel inspiration, his intrepid mother. Wilma shares where her love for travel came from and early adventures as a child. This includes tales about getting stranded in Paris, finishing her apprenticeship in New York and finally being able to live out her dream by getting a job with an international freight forwarder and leaving Germany! She also shares about learning Farsi and travelling to Iran and immersing herself into the culture where while working and living in the middle east as a young woman. She even throws in a couple of stories at the end about getting stuck in the desert and a Turkish prison. Enjoy this beautiful conversation between Lovelly Travels Co-host Darius and his mother Wilma.
