Ranj and I always had itchy feet…that story started well before we met each other, it’s in our blood!
Ranj enjoyed a few holidays trips around the world whist I only really travelled in my dreams. A few trips to Spain were my first tasters and initiated a real curiosity for Latin and South American cultures. A dream that I decided to follow when leaving France in 96 and settling down in London as a
step to further destinations.
Combined, our families originate from 5 different countries. Add to this the origins inheritated ‘by law’: we now have 8 nationalities sitting around the table on a regular basis! French, Italian, Spanish, British, Indian are now joined up by Brazilian, Irish and Thai.
Both our families had travelled substantially: on Ranj side, the family tree covered India, Kenya, Malawi before joining the Italian line of his mother’s family; on my side France and Spain were the source but the tales came from travels through Iran, Lebanon, Egypt, the Republic of Congo, Tchad and Algeria.
For our boys, there is no such thing as a Home country. The world is their oyster!
For us, with the family stretching across the globe, the World just got much smaller and the Dream bigger!
It is time to pack up and taste the dream…
