This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In her talk, Fiona explains how medicine taught her to be intuitive, but China taught her to live intuitively. She explains her journey and how she has learned to listen for the one soft clear note in a sea of static.
Fiona is a foodie. A writer. A photographer. An expert dumpling taster. An emergency-room doctor. She is a staunch believer in the power of roadtrips, which led her to take one with her husband and children across China, over six months, in a campervan. Fiona has since won international awards for her food writing, and will soon embark on a roadtrip to as many Chinese restaurants in regional Australia as possible
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
