Meander with Donna Scotten

from Meanderings with Trudy · host Donna Scotten, Trudy Chapman

Today, I'm talking to my friend Donna Scotten. To say that Donna is a world traveller is an understatement. She and her husband Jim have travelled extensively for their whole lives, from the beginning of their relationship, then with their son in tow, and now, as retirees. “We're free spirits, we love adventure and variety...” is how Donna explains the spirit she shares, and continues to share, with her husband. We talk about how travel was different then, ~40 years ago, pre-Internet – how it took trust and courage to step into the unknown in times when we didn’t carry a computer in our pockets. Donna has written a blog about their travels, and Jim’s photos adorn every post… a true collaboration of kindred spirits. This meander was a lovely review of a travel-life well-lived. And there's more to come from Donna and Jim, I have no doubt.I hope you enjoy this episode.

Donna once heard someone say that "Travel was being present to the magic of the unfamiliar." What a beautiful way to see the world.
