Those of us from Celtic and Scandinavian extraction have been "transplanted" here by our ancestry. Despite being a fifth-generation Australian (born and bred on Bondi Beach), I have always believed I am culturally and climatically challenged by being here. When I visit the UK and Ireland, I feel I am truly home. One of my sons, who has been in Scotland for 10 years (never been back home) feels the same. I get it, @LMARTI https://t.co/VrwVDeIDiU
The final event at @BelgiumFest: Author and artist @HelenaBuckinx: “With imagination you can realise your dreams” A great conversation with @LMARTI about her book Travellers in Transit, a family novel about relationships, standing up for yourself and making choices.
I could have listened to @latikambourke all day long! Great, far ranging conversation with @LMARTI about geo politics, the future of news, immigration, being adopted…@BelgiumFest going fantastic so far!
In preparation for @BelgiumFest this weekend hear from one of our moderators who will join us from #Copenhagen in Belgium - we can’t wait to see her , it’s @LMARTI 🎧 🤩 she joined us #OnThePage ⬇️

I’ll never be the kind of traveller who can jet off overseas for three weeks with only carry-on luggage.
My defence of packing checked-in luggage is published in Melbourne’s @theage newspaper.
