Episode notes
Oti kicks off season two in style, joining Russell to talk
about travelling after Strictly Come Dancing, rediscovering South Africa and
what it’s like to travel with a baby. Oti was touring since she was a teenager,
but travelling for work isn’t the same as for pleasure. She started seeing the
world whilst competitive dancing but now can travel on her own terms. She has
fallen in love with the beaches and mountains of Romania and the thermal spas
of Iceland. She also takes joy from the privilege of giving the gift of travel
to her parents, who thought they’d never see the world.
