Episode 08: Sophie Suitor

Explicit

Sophie Suitor is a Queenstown local born in the old Queenstown hospital and raised all over the West and North-West Coast. Sophie and I recorded a number of times, this is just one of our conversations. Sophie is a mother, wife, florist and friend to everyone she meets.

Sophie discusses growing up too fast, generational cycles, changing perspective, creating your own world, escaping the town in favour of the bush, simplicity, learning to be self reliant, what local means and what being an outsider feels like, leaving the West and being called back home, belonging, the responsibilities of the previous generation and the new generation of West-Coasters and her ideas for a brighter future for Queenstown.
