Rté - The Big Adventure

FAMILIES. Adventure families who dare to set off into the unknown. Brazen mothers who pack up their broods and go wandering the world. Families that undertake journeys around the world share their adventure experiences with us. Guests include Christine Breen, a New Yorker living in the remote townland of Kiltumper in County Clare who set off on a nine-month adventure around the world with her husband, novelist Niall Williams, and their two children. 'So Many Miles to Paradise' is Christine's engaging and inspirational account of this journey, the like of which most of us will only dream about. Also, Dr.Geraldine Osbourne speaking to us from Nunuvut Canada. She and her husband Danny traveled for six months in the Chilean Altiplano with six llamas and one daughter. Big Adventures, even bigger risks. First Broadcast: 15th January 2007
