In this episode of Here & There, host and producer Liz Beatty talks with Robin Esrock, a bestselling author, award-winning journalist and international TV host. Having visited more than 120 countries across all seven continents, Esrock has had his fair share of adventures. From chasing polar bears in Churchill, MB., and ice canoeing in Quebec City, to scuba diving in Papua New Guinea and cruising down Egypt’s Nile River, Esrock has truly done it all.

A Fellow and Ambassador of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, Esrock also contributes to the biweekly Bucket Listed column in Canadian Geographic. His work has appeared in publications ranging from The Globe and Mail, MSN and The Vancouver Sun to CBC, The Wall Street Journal and 60 Minutes.

Today, he joins Beatty to discuss how and why parents should bring their kids to places that might not typically be considered “family-friendly.”

Listen in for inspiration, laughter and a reminder that travel, at its best, is a family affair.
