Ep 14 - Georgina speaks to the inspirational writer and traveller Jana Bakunina

Jana Bakunina is an inspirational go-getter, writer and intrepid traveller who doesn’t allow much (except total lockdown) to get in the way of her love of travel. When she is not travelling she is always busy cooking up delicious food, feeding her cacti and writing – she has already written a book ‘Bird’s Milk’ and a play the title of which she is keeping under wraps and now she has started on a book of short stories.

Don’t be fooled though her real love is travel and she managed to continue doing this when the rest of us were hiding in our houses even when lockdown started to ease. When she couldn’t travel abroad she was inspired by a book she’d read to travel in the United Kingdom and has started to walk the entire South West Coast Path – what is a bit of rain when you get these amazing views!

Joking aside Jana has great inner strength and suffers from CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) sometimes referred to as ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis). Some days are very tough but this doesn’t stop her and she continues to explore and push herself to travel or be more creative by setting herself new challenges.

What will happen next? Well, I can tell you you don’t want to miss out so make sure you follow her Instagram page as I can guarantee there will be more adventures to come. This is a great episode to tune into she’s funny and is full of aspirational stories believe me I’ve only told you the tip of the iceberg and there is lots more to hear so you don’t miss out!
 
Jana grew up in Russia but is now based in London with her travel proof cacti collection. The interview was recorded Thurs 5th may@1pm BST.
