Elephant encounters: travel in Thailand and its impact on mental health - teacher Mel shares how a trip to experience the simple life was 'transformative'


Listen Later

Mel Byers and her husband both have a history of working in education and have used travel as a chance to escape the school stresses. As this is a podcast all about helping you find your mental wealth, we decided she'd make the perfect guest.

Listen to Mel describing her trip to Thailand where she volunteered to help maintain the welfare of a herd of elephants in a sanctuary.

She also visited with locals and got involved in their daily routine. 

You'll hear how Mel's visit to Chiang Mai was very transformative, and something of a spiritual awakening.

You'll hear her delve into the realisations she had while in the country as she experienced their simple life first hand.

There's no doubt of the positive effect it had on her mental health.

If you've been suffering recently, or you've just felt like you've lost your 'mojo', our hope is that this episode will inspire you to give some thought to finding it again in Thailand, just like Mel did.

Once you've listened, you'll probably want to find out more about doing something very similar.

When that happens, you can get in touch directly with Lizzie, here.
