How her ex leaving her was the best thing that happened for both her ex and her. How sometimes when a relationship ends, the people you thought were friends are lost, but how it can also lead to the rekindling of other friendships. What inspired her to leave Sydney and start travelling the world with her daughter Emmie. Homeschooling and travel. Getting robbed in Spain. Dealing with trolls. Dealing with different safety standards in foreign countries. How travelling changed her. How travelling taught her daughter about confidence, and how it has opened her mind to be accepting and aware of the world and different cultures and religions. Travelling with kids of different ages. Plus LOTS LOTS more. Evie also shares her favourite thing about being a single mum and her advice for any single mum keen to travel with kids.
