Description

On today's podcast I chatted with the wonderful author, artist, photographer, nature lover and sometimes life philosopher, Sue Stolberger.

Sue has had the most fascinating life, with most of it spent living in a tent in the Ruaha National Park in the East African wilderness.

In part 1 of this two part podcast, Sue chats about her early magical idyllic life in Tanzania, her love of painting, living hand to mouth for four years in Italy, and then finally returning to Tanzania and purchasing a jeep with the proceeds of an exhibition of her work.  

After spending some time exploring and painting in different locations at weekends, she met and fell in love with sculptor Rob Glen after a few twists and turns. A good turn to a stranger in need, resulted in a permit to live and work in Ruaha National Park, where they were the only people permitted to be there.

Sue remembers a safari visit there when she was young, and feeling that her heart was going to burst with happiness.

Let’s hear the story that brought her there...
