This week, Chris sits down with Georgia Barker, the voice and lens behind Nature with Georgia. From growing up on a goat farm in Essex to rafting below Victoria Falls and rediscovering the beauty of UK wildlife, Georgia’s story proves that adventure is often right outside your door.

She’s built a fast-growing community of bird lovers and everyday nature enthusiasts by sharing her honest learning journey — proof that you don’t need to be an expert to inspire others. Georgia’s mission is simple: to make birdwatching cool again and show that the wild is never far away.
