| Katherine Parker-Magyar: New Destinations For Experienced Travelers! | 12 Aug 2019 | 01:30:23 | |
New Destinations For Experienced Travelers
If I had to assign Katherine Parker-Magyar a spirit animal it would be a youthful pup caught in a "full-body-wag". "You love travel? I love travel! LET'S TALK TRAVEL!" That is my experience interviewing Katherine. Katherine Parker-Magyar has the accomplishments of a rigorous academic, a sense of adventure rivaling Lewis and Clark and stamps on her passport to brag about. This episode will expose you to the joy Katherine brings to travel writing and perhaps pick up a few new destinations for your bucket list! We cover the world by region and explore alternative destinations for travelers that have trekked the well-worn paths of popular destinations. In additional to her bylines (Architectural Digest, Forbes, The Week, Business Insider and more...) Katherine shares her love of books and her favorite charities. The Amal Foundation aims to support young Palestinian refugees seeking higher education. Amal, in Arabic, translates to "hope" in English. That is exactly what this foundation does and for a staggeringly affordably cost. (See link below.) Podcast Topics Include: Where are millennials from China traveling? Katherine's closing words, "I don't want to play favorites... but everyone should go to Dominica and Kenya!" Special Guest: Katherine Parker-Magyar. Links:

Rowena describes "Aloha" as, "Sharing the best of myself with you and in return you share the best of yourself with me."

Exploring Cork Forests in Mexico Format: Check out the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/86Ud2aFrEB8 M:Where can people find you online? M: Where are we going today? M: Can you paint a mental picture or "a moment in time" floating through a cork forest? M: This blows my mind. I didn't realize there were cork forests in Mexico. I've seen some footage of getting to the cork forest and getting to the tour. It looked pretty bumpy and they advised against anyone with back problems or who is pregnant to avoid this tour. When you visited what was this like for you? M: It looks like there are walking and kayaking options available. Can you tell us a little more about why you might choose one or the other? M: Now can you describe what it's like to be floating through a cork forest? M: Did you come across any wildlife? M: Was the tour in English? M:It looks like the cork forest is pretty remote - was there a meal provided? M: Talk bugs to me. What crawled, flew and otherwise attempted to feed on you? M: How accessible is this from the resort regions of the eastern coast of Mexico? M: What are we missing? Is there anything else you would like to include about the cork forests of Solferino, Quintana Roo? M: Lastly, can other travel professionals contact you about this and are you taking new clients for travelers that might be listening? M: How do you prefer people contact you?

| Flying Iceland Air | 30 Oct 2018 | 00:19:43 | |
Flying Iceland Air Into Reykjavík
I've been asked many times what it is like to fly on Iceland Air. So, for a recent trip to the United States I opted to fly Iceland Air purposely. In this episode you will find the nuts, bolts and Ramen of the situation. Is Iceland Air right for you? Listen to find out! A couple observations: The flight attendants were all tall gorgeous and blonde. I'm not making that up. It's the truth. They were also all very nice and spoke english and mutiple other languages. For funsies - pay close attention to their mouths. When they switch from Icelandic to English or any other western dialect. When speaking in their native toungue they speak on their IN BREATH. It makes for some thrilling ear candy. Then, they very naturally, switch back to what I consider, normal breath/speaking Western patterns. It's wild. Enjoy - you're welcome. BLANKETS! Iceland Air has amazing blankets made from very heavey grey fleece. Men will be pleased that an airplane blanket actually covers them neck to toes. I pulled down my eye mask and had a very satisfying nap. In-Flight Food Service: Meal Service is pulling a solid "meh" rating. The menu is gorgeous and makes you feel like you are ordering off a real menu. Beware, there is no room or time to plate items in the air from the drink cart. However the item you ordered is originally packaged is how the item comes to you. I ordered the spicey vegetarian noodles as a "good idea" to warm myself up. Can you guess what it was? It cost $4.00 which is 10x what it costs off the grocer's shelf. In the end it did the trick. LONG LAYOVERS: Consider a long layover in Iceland! The country is offering greater than average layovers on purpose for flights through Reykjavík. They want to encurage tourism and it is now bumped up on my bucket list of places to take the family. Talk to your travel planner and plan out a mini vacation inside your exisiting itinerary! Airport Insights: Reykjavík is a small airport. There is possibly only one gate where the airplane actually can dock at the gate. All other planes will let passengers out onto the tarmac and onto shuttle buses. This is a going to be a very brisk sprint. I was traveling to and from warm locations and it was CHILLY. So, FYI, at least pack a sweater incase you have delays before you get inside. Airport Accessibility: The accessibilty of Reykjavík's airport is up for debate. The bathrooms I used on both stops were up and down stairs. Upon departure, myself and another guest (girlfriend, I wish I remembered your name) ended up carrying an elderly lady's belongings she continually dropped between the gate and the airplane, across the tarmac. We then ended up offering significant pysical support to her climbing up the plane steps and into her seat. She said they promised her assistance, a wheelchair and ramp but were unwilling or unable to assist her upon arriving at the airport. That's her story and she is sticking to it. Either way - I'm thankful for a kind American softball player who was willing to boost this lady along the way. Duty Free Store: There is a pretty nice duty free store inside the airport. In fact, it takes up just about half the footage. The items I was most interested in were the liquor and chocolate. After much debate I did not purchase seaweed alcohol. I did purchase several rounds of Icelandic chocolate. Buy Icelandic chocolate. You will not be sad. Flight Path: If you are lucky the flight path will put you over Greenland. It is a frozen splendor to behold. Book a window seat if this is something you would like to see. I ended up holding many phones and taking pictures for othe people... | |||

| Oberammergau with Judy Yirsa of St. Christopher Mission Travel | 03 Sep 2018 | 00:43:28 | |
Nearly 400 years ago the history of the Passion Play began. The plague raged in many parts of Europe and did not spare Oberammergau either. In 1633 the Oberammergau villagers promised to perform the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ every tenth year, in so far as no one was to die of the plague anymore. The villagers were answered by God and therefore in 1634 the first Passion Play took place. The promise has been kept until today. From May 16th to October 4th 2020 the 42nd Passion Play will take place in Oberammergau. ~ Information provided by the official Oberammergau Website: https://www.passionsspiele-oberammergau.de/en/home Yes - It's 2 years away - but you must plan now! Why should you go? Judy paints the picture of the years or preperation, dedication, faith, and grooming standards the actors must adhere too. Art and music lovers will also be drawn to this Passion Play. There are many ways to see Oberammergau and the local area to include land tours, guided trips and river cruising! Judy talks about some of the options and why each is unique and the benefits of doing each one. Enjoy and if you travel to Oberammergau, please provide us some stories on your experience! ~Megan Chapa Special Guest: Judith Romera Yirsa. Links:

| Suzie Schwartz: Portable Careers in Tourism & New Book | 28 May 2018 | 00:32:02 | |
I discovered Suzie Schwartz's career history in the tourism industry through he new book, co-authored with her husband, Gen. Norty Schwartz. On this podcast we connect travelers to travel professionals and Suzie is a former rock star at Hyatt and Hilton hoteliers. I often get emails from listeners and frequently asked by military spouses about working in the tourism industry. I fully believe the travel and tourism industry is a fantastic portable career path and Suzie and I talk specifically why this is a great choice for military spouses. The podcast moves on the talk about Suzie's new book, Journey: Memoirs of an Air Force Chief of Staff. This book is a true insight into the making of an Air Force Chief of Staff. Yes, it is military history, but it is not a dry, snoozville type read. It is humorous, and a little bit of an emotional roller coaster as you become invested in the Schwartz family's life trials and triumphs. Anecdotal and pithy, Suzie adds great behind the scenes context to each story. To her credit, Suzie picks the fights of the modern working woman's battles on behalf of all military spouses. The freedom's to live, somewhat normal, family and work lives as modern military spouses is largely a credit to the lumps Suzie endured during her service to our country as spouse to Gen Norty Schwartz. Excellent read, worthy of my summer reading list to be published shortly. Enjoy! Special Guest: Suzie Schwartz. Links:
