In this gripping episode of Talk'n TRM: The Traveller Files, we hear Carolyn Pearson recount an astonishing tale of resilience and survival from her gap year in Australia. What started as a travel adventure with family friends took a shocking turn when Carolyn found herself and a friend abandoned in the harsh, isolated expanse of the Australian outback. With only her handbag and a bottle of water, Carolyn was picked up by a passing truck driver picked who took her to safety in Alice Springs.
Our insightful host, Bex Deadman, reflects on Carolyn’s story, emphasising how much times have changed with the advancements in technology and communication. Bex explores how the limitations of the past amplified vulnerability, making contact with loved ones or seeking help much harder. She delves into the importance of modern travel safety practices, the essential knowledge of diffusing tense situations, and strategies to ensure personal safety when traveling solo.
Join us for another episode of Talk'n TRM: The Traveller Files, where each tale is a lesson, and every journey is a risk worth exploring.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
