    So how did we get here? Feeling the fear, but doing it anyway.

    Do you have a crazy dream? Have you done anything about it?
    We had one, but didn't act on it for years.
    Until we did.
    And here is how it all began.

Amazing Heart on you’re sleeve Podcast

I started listening to Sam’s Diaries after listening to her amazing American Vigilante Podcast. Well what can I say, I’m hooked. If you have ever thought about making a change in you’re life, being brave, looking for something beyond the norm. Then this is for you! Such a relatable down to earth account of a family moving half way across the world to follow their dreams. 5 Stars all the way!

Totally engaging, vividly told and well presented - I came right along on the journey with Sam and her family 🌵
