Exploring with kids in the ‘80s, from the Aussie outback to the Canadian prairies to the Kenyan savannah, with Sue and Peter Le Souef

Sue and Peter Le Souef loved traveling and exploring, and saw no reason to stop just because they had kids. Today we are thrilled to have them on the podcast to share their thoughts on raising outdoor kids in the 1980s. They share some truly hair raising adventures that you’ll have to hear to believe!

Tune in to hear:

• How parenting looked in the 1950s and the 1980s compared to today
• The outdoor adventures that Sue and Pete had when they were kids, including starting fires and cooking their own food 
• The ambitious camping trips that they took with their kids across entire continents
• Close encounters with lions, giraffes, dingos, a cemetery, and a car full of sand
• Sue’s extraordinary career journey and how Sue and Peter created a life that could include Sue studying at law school while also going on adventures as a family 

Sue and Peter also just happen to be Kate’s parents, and they joined us on the podcast on the exact day of their 50th wedding anniversary!
