Travelling to Care: Dawn Cleary

Places & Travel

Not all of us travel for business or pleasure. There are times when we need to travel to care for sick relatives and those that we love and or are responsible for.

Melbourne is a wonderful place to call home, but for many Melbournians their place of birth can be on the other side of the world. Join us as Dawn Cleary shares her story of caring for her elderly mother, uncle and aunt who all live in the UK while she and her immediate family call Melbourne home.

Dawn shares practical tips from making sure you have appropriate legal authorities in place but also how to handle regular communications, budgeting for those additional travel costs and how to run your business and your family whilst having “another foot” in another country.

A great episode that puts travel into a different Escape Pod perspective.
