During this week's episode of greener fields Hannah chat's with children's book author and outdoor enthusiast Barry Coleman from Co. Dublin.

During this very special conversation Barry speaks about his experience growing up in Dublin, how the seeds of travel and adventure were planted by his parents early on, his experience traveling the world for 10 months, the impact that adopting his dog Koda had on his life, what he has learned over the last several years and so much more.

Barry also speaks about writing 'The Lost Harp' which is a book he has written for children set in Ireland that discusses the topics of connection, friendship and processing loss in a meaningful and digestible way. In 'The Lost Harp' Barry pulls from challenging personal experiences and adventures throughout Ireland to create a very special story that will impact people of all ages.

This truly is a special conversation all about finding adventure on your doorstep, learning to say yes to the world, valuing the people you have in your life and recognising that there really is opportunity in each day alongside so much more, so make sure to check it out.
