Did you know that the Australian Ambassador to Peru, Her Excellency Diana Nelson, is a surfer? I was so excited to be put in touch with her via her sister in law Michelle, who is my bus stop buddy many mornings as we get our kids off to school. Diana has lead an incredibly interesting life working for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, having held postings in many locations around the world. She is currently in charge of the Australian Embassy in Lima, Peru and is totally in love with surfing!

Diana was so generous in sharing about her work, her life in Peru and her personal surfing journey. I've been dreaming of a Peruvian surf trip non stop since we spoke. 

This was my first attempt at recording over Zoom and I was pretty pleased with how it went. I'm still blown away that I can have a video conversation with someone on the other side of the world! 

Also a huge thanks to Emily Dennis @emily_dennis_music for writing and performing a magical guitar piece for this podcast. We had a lot of fun recording it and I'm stoked that she's allowed me to use it and share it with you. 

I hope you enjoy listening in.
