Today I'm talking about how I (eventually) managed to move my cat from southern Spain to northern Scotland - a trip that involved two people and a cat flying from Malaga to Paris, one person and a cat staying there while the other person flew onwards to London, renting a car in London and driving through the Eurotunnel back to Paris, all three then driving from Paris back to the UK and all the way up to Scotland. Crazy? Yes. Necess...

As a fetus, I went to France. I didn't go anywhere else (of note) until I was 18-years-old when my mother once again took me to France. I was hooked. Within a few short months, I had maxed out two credit cards and went to live in New York City for three whole months. 

This podcast takes you through my childhood as I (inexpertly) attempt to psychoanalyse the reason behind my love of travel - a love that prompted me to quit a job I l...
