In Episode 5 we chat with archeologist Belle Leslie, who takes us through her journey into archeology. This episode is filled with wonderful tales, from following in her Grandfathers footsteps to sleeping amongst the scorpions in the Belizean jungle and even diving the Blue Hole. While recording and editing this episode, it was hard not to be perpetually charmed, as Belle reminds us that it’s the simple things in life that are also the most beautiful and important things too. I don’t want to give too much away here so click the play head and enjoy!

In Episode 4, we introduce you to Gabby Lam who takes us on a journey to India where she finds herself both in her element and at times in over her head.

Listen out for the beautiful sound of rain falling on the tin roof of Gabby’s Elsternwick warehouse as she recounts the events that lead to the journey of a lifetime. Feeling like she was at a crossroad in her life, Gabby asked the universe for a way that she could combine the two things that she’s most passionate about, and the universe delivered! What ensued was a very raw and very real experience that was extremely difficult to capture in 30 minutes, but we gave it our best shot.

In episode 2, join Lempi and me from the Abbotsford convent in Melbourne Australia as we chat about how she kicked off her life as a nomadic traveller, which spanned for over ten years. Her ten-year journey started with a penniless hitchhiking trip with from Finland to Morocco and we’ll hear a little about how her experience on that adventure. While this type of travelling has become popular in recent times, and some have gone as far as to label a similar form of travel ‘beg-packing’, it’s important to ask ourselves, where do we draw the line between authentically immersing ourselves in the human experience and taking advantage of the generosity of others?

Is being vulnerable, being in need and having to rely on the help others not truly an important part of the human experience? In a world that needs it now more than ever, the empathy and compassion that we can learn from others, simply by way of it being given to us in times of need, has never been more important.

Lempi also challenges capitalist values with the notion that when we remove from our options the ability to spend money by simply having none, we can free up a lot of mental capacity for ourselves, which ultimately allows us to exhibit creativity in other ways. That might all sound a bit utopian but I challenge anyone to prove otherwise.

While her chosen way of living has its highs and lows, whose life doesn’t? When all is said and done least Lempi has met some incredible and interesting people and collected some truly captivating stories to share along the way.
