Photographs & Memories - Steven Dow - Balancing family life and work travel

Before a career in hotels, our next memory maker started out in engineering on a North Sea oil rig, when the 1998 oil crisis took him on a trip to Australia before landing on the banks of Loch Tay working for a Scottish hotel resort. Having travelled the world for long periods at a time - the Covid pandemic challenged his work-life balance.Steve Dow takes us on a journey through his adult life, meeting Orangutans in Borneo, climbing Mount Everest and meeting Mike Tyson in Las Vegas - all while holding down a young family. Listen in as he shares his regrets and why he now has a new perspective on life. Our Memory Makers choose three photographs and a treasured souvenir of places or people from their travels. The four represent moments of particular importance to them, whether personally or professionally. They take us on a journey, reflecting on the significance of a specific moment in time, the sentiment of the period, and what was going on in the world around us.
