Hi! I’m Tara, a Canadian traveller with a thirst for knowledge and connection. Today’s episode with Hannah and Emmett, parents of a bicultural family and owners of Steveston Creative, is so sweet and endearing. Hannah and Emmett fell in love when Emmett moved from Ireland to Canada and their story together is quite remarkable.
Travelling through Life: A Podcast on the Go is a fun and quirky show from Travel with TMc that delves into all things travel and adventures from the road, in the air, and in between here and there. I’m incredibly excited to bring you conversations with fellow travellers whose paths I’ve had the pleasure of crossing with around the world. Subscribe for weekly updates!

EPISODE SUMMARY:
This week on Travelling through Life: A Podcast on the Go we meet Hannah & Emmett, Owners of Steveston Creative in British Columbia & parents to 3 fantastic boys! We cover everything from cross-Canada train trips, to childhood experiences in China, to moving to each others’ countries & now building a beautiful family together. We talk about how learning to use points & miles (they were my first clients!) has made staying connected with relatives on both side of the Atlantic super affordable for this family of 5. From home schooling to Irish language use in their daily lives, this bicultural family love exploring at home on Vancouver Island & around the globe.

WANT TO START YOUR OWN PODCAST?
If you want to creat your own podcast, I’ve written a blog post on how to start a podcast. I go through pre-recording questions to ask yourself, which software to use (I’ve really enjoyed using Riverside and Buzzsprout – and with this link you get $20 off your membership), and some initial ideas on how to promote your podcast.
