So I got to thinking... when does planning choke your travel plans and when does it create the conditions for spontaneity?  Wide awake with my usual hay fever, I find that the NEAR (the gorgeous town of Warrenpoint in the North of Ireland) is as good a place to travel, film and enjoy the sites as the FAR (the French Road Trip 2021), which seems to take a lot more planning!  And yes, there is some technical geekery in this particular podcast, but it's brief, I promise!  You can find the films I mention here on my YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/planetpatrick  To follow me on social media, all the links are here:  https://www.planetpatrick.net/links/ Thanks for listening! 

Join Patrick as he talks about the Two Sleeps Theory just when he can't sleep in a Catalonia hotel in Ronda, Spain.  This is the idea that humans used to have two separate sleeps every night.  Why did we lose that?  A written version of this podcast is on the Planet Patrick website at:  https://planetpatrick.net/2020/10/17/the-two-sleeps-theory/  Remember you can follow Patrick on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok too.

Pamela Terry is entirely her own person, her story asking us how we (and she) define ourselves in relation to place; time; other people; the identity formed by everyday communities in which we participate.  Her story is everyday but determinedly NOT everyday. I've found her to be an exceptional person to meet. And she still is! 

In this episode, Patrick joins international business leader Sallyann Thomas at her home in Erina, New South Wales, Australia to discuss how moving to Australia opened up the possibility of major body transformation – a choice she considered carefully and which has changed her life.  Remember you can follow Patrick on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
