Welcome Wanderers, this podcast brings you stories and insights based on travel and other diverse sides of life. This is a multifaceted space where every portion of Earth is available to us. A variety of episodes will wander into the character of different locations and tell what they individually hold, culturally and physically. I will also discuss journeys of self-discovery which can include mental health topics concerned with overall well-being. This podcast is inspired by true worldwide human conditions and the unique interconnections that can be made through our interactions with different environments as well as each other. There's a wide range of quests to embark on, and your impulses have guided you to the correct place to act upon adventure.

The modernization of communication systems is easing many people into participating in the global arena of contemporary story-telling. Anyone who exists; creates, meaning there's always a narrative to share. With vulnerability and transparency, one can realize that stories exist within everything, even the ones that have already been told, there are always details that may escape and or go unnoticed from any piece of information. I am dedicated to conducting and demonstrating profound tales, while engaging in organic conversations with individuals of the global community who speak volumes about who we are and what we face as humans, through various elements of culture and other assets that impact our ability to interrelate and learn from one another.

It may sound ironic, but at times we don't get to choose who or what are our teachers, but we do get to decide whether we learn from any lesson that presents itself. There are many videos/films that feature unique accounts of how some individuals attained distinctive lessons from inanimate objects, animals, and other usual characters. We learn from ourselves at all times, and sometimes we don't notice that but when healing, one might find relief in the most unexpected and unfamiliar occurrences.

    This episode is uploaded with video and other visuals on YouTube. Channel name: Valery RodriguezI thought I needed to know everything at every given time. I would complicate my days by trying to predict what I was supposed to do or not. Doing that made me feel misaligned with my true desires. I went to a random location on what was supposed to be a “school day” for me. On that day, I gave my intuition a test run with no expectations and complete trust in my interests. Now, I aim to live most of my days just like that one. Do you know what can take you to valuable destinations? Courage. When inspiration strikes, take action because the quest will most likely contain unknown outcomes that can ultimately bring you closer to understanding yourself and other actualities.

    I spontaneously recorded this on my phone in my car, excuse the audio quality!Humans can choose to make something out of what occurs to us, anything can be seen as either an unbeatable battle or a challenge. You are the person who is in charge of what outlook to take whenever you begin to build anything. You have to be sure that you truly want whatever you start because if you're not aware of how much you are willing to sacrifice for your creation, then whatever obstacle lies in the journey ahead can knock you off your path.The hard work that it takes to obtain favorable outcomes will not always be a smooth road, it definitely hasn't been for me. The beneficial part of the emotional and physical hurdles that are present while working for your dreams is that they will reassure you of the importance of what you're doing.That's why I love adversity with any aspect of life, having rough seas helps people like myself become aware of the crucial role faith plays in arriving at any destination. Whether you decide to sail through any storm, turn around back to land, and or change course, know that you are riding waves and through their push, they will always transport you away from stagnation.

    EP #12An oracle card, two sea creatures, and the man with the golden touch have come together to teach about the freedom of self-expression. Animals in their nature continue along with their business without worrying about what anyone else thinks of them. It can seem like an obvious observation with a clear scientific answer to basic animalistic behavior but regardless of that, can't we all learn something from any critter?  Certainly, the ocean has many secrets that humanity may not ever get to uncover, but I have received a clear message from the beings of the wild, and this episode spills on how some creatures of the oceans can enlighten someone on what it means to be authentic.

    Guest: Nic Patino There was a shirt I wore last year that got plenty of compliments. It was a white shirt with only two words on it: “diversity matters.” This caught the attention of many people and I always had always asked myself why. The word "diversity" is interesting because it can produce multiple definitions that can mean something different for everyone, and that's why I became incredibly interested in talking to diverse people because I figured I’d learn a multitude of topics in one sitting. Nic Patino is one of those individuals where you could ask him for advice on a specific area in your life, and come out of the conversation with a refreshed view of not only the topic at hand but the approach you may take towards many things.
