What if, instead of fixating on what's left on your bucket list, you created an “anti-bucket list” of things you no longer need to do? This perspective-shifting idea comes from award-winning filmmaker Skye Bergman, who has gathered 3,000 years of collective wisdom from adults 75+ on how to live well.As milestone birthdays like 70 approach, many of us wonder if we'll have enough time to accomplish everything we desire. Bergman's documentary Lives Well-Lived and book Lives Well-Lived Generations challenge our youth-obsessed culture by showcasing vibrant, purposeful aging. Her research identifies four essential elements of a well-lived life: purpose, community, resilience, and positivity. Purpose evolves, especially after retirement, when professional identity shifts. The key is finding what truly brings joy—whether it's making mozzarella for your daughter's deli or volunteering to teach English. Bergman challenges ageist limitations with inspiring examples like her grandmother, who started working out at 80, and Ernestine Shepard, who became a champion bodybuilder in her 50s after losing loved ones to diabetes. These stories prove that age doesn't define what's possible.Bergman also highlights the power of intergenerational connections in combating isolation. Her monthly potluck dinners, bringing together women from ages 20 to 90, dissolve ageist divides and create a meaningful community.Ready to embrace aging on your own terms? It's time to create your anti-bucket list—letting go of what no longer serves you while embracing purpose, connection, and joy. Listen now to start redefining what's possible.Bio Sky Bergman is an accomplished, award-winning photographer. "Lives Well Lived" is Sky's directorial debut.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The U.S. and some other Western embassies in Kyiv are staying closed Wednesday for security reasons, with the American delegation saying it had received a warning of a potentially significant Russian air attack on the Ukrainian capital. The precautionary step came after Russian officials promised a response to President Joe Biden’s decision to let Ukraine strike targets on Russian soil with U.S.-made missiles — a move that angered the Kremlin. The U.S. Embassy said its closure and attack warning were issued in the context of ongoing Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv and anticipated a quick return to regular operations. The Italian and Greek embassies also shut to the public for the day, but the British government said its embassy remained open. SEATTLE (AP) — A major storm was sweeping across the northwest U.S., battering the region with strong winds and rain. It caused widespread power outages and downed trees that killed at least one person. BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — A new study says human-caused climate change made Atlantic hurricanes about 18 mph stronger in the last six years. Wednesday's study says most storms gained so much strength due to warmer waters from climate change that they jumped an entire hurricane category, which means much more damage caused. President-elect Donald Trump is filling key posts in his second administration, putting an emphasis so far on people who were his strongest backers during the 2024 campaign.

BALTIMORE (AP) — President Joe Biden’s pending request to Congress for nearly $100 billion in emergency disaster aid includes money to rebuild Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge after its deadly collapse in March. Maryland’s congressional delegation is also working to secure 100% federal funding to cover the nearly $2 billion in estimated reconstruction costs.

"Why fly fourteen hours from New York to Johannesburg to see a South African version of Brooklyn? To me, the only reason to know what destinations are 'hot' is to avoid them." —Seth Kugel In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Seth talk about how the travel industry both helps and hinders the travel experience, and how Seth first experienced travel when he was young (1:30); tourist desire, the "beaten path," and the contradictions of what travelers seek in AirBnbs and related property-renting services (10:30); dealing with language barriers overseas, and social versus literal risks overseas (20:00); balancing general tourist advice versus nuanced insights as a travel writer, and the role new technologies play in travel decisions (27:00); and why it's a good idea to avoid places that have been deemed "trendy," and how to break out of the bad habits of travel (40:30). Seth Kugel (@sethkugel) is a travel writer, freelance journalist, and host of the Amigo Gringo YouTube channel.

MTV Movie + TV Awards 2004NomineeMTV Movie AwardBest CameoMatt Damon Teen Choice Awards 2004NomineeTeen Choice AwardChoice Movie Your Parents Didn't Want You to See First time you saw the movie? Plot:The film opens to in Hudson, Ohio, "Scotty" Thomas is dumped by his girlfriend Fiona immediately after his high school graduation at the beginning of the film. Back at Sottys house, he replies to an email sent to him from "Mike" his German pen pal. Cooper warns him that he could end up being sex trafficked when "Mike" asks to meet up. Scotty attends a graduation party that evening with Cooper, where the band, fronted by Matt Damon, performs a song detailing his affair Fiona called Scotty Doesn't Know. Cooper finds himself in a hot tub with a girl and convinces her to take her top off, before getting caught by some jocks and thrown out. Scotty returns home drunk and angry and reads an email from his German pen pal, expressing sympathy for Scotty and suggesting they meet in person. Remembering Coopers suggestion that "Mike" may be a sexual predator, Scotty tells Mike to stay away from him. The next morning, a very hungover Scotty sees his younger brother, Bert, reading his email and informs him that "Mieke" is actually a common German feminine name. Realizing that he had mistaken her name and that he has feelings for Mieke, Scotty tries to contact her again, but finds that Mieke has blocked his email address. Scotty decides to travel to Europe with Cooper to find Mieke and apologize in-person. -This whole movie could've been resolved if he just made another email address-Finoa is pretty hot-I LOVE Cooeprs line of "this isn't where I parked my car"... I used to use that one occasionally.-Its funny that with all the practice with writing German, he mistook Mieke for a guy, considering she probably used feminine pronouns.-Did you have a passport when you were 18? Could you have just up and gone to Europe? Scotty and Cooper go tot he airport and find flights via being couriers. They first arrive in London, where they en dup in a Manchester United hooligan pub; they eventually befriend their leader, Mad Maynard. After a night of drinking, Scotty and Cooper wake up on a bus on their way to Paris with the hooligans. In Paris, they meet up with their classmates, Jenny and Jamie, fraternal twins who are touring Europe together. While in Paris, they decide to visit the Louvre, but are met with a VERY long line. While waiting, Cooper gets creeped out by a street performing robot. Scotty begins imitating him, and this leads to a robot fight; ending with Scotty kicking the robot guy in the balls. That evening Jenny and Jamie decide to accompany Scotty and Cooper to find Mieke in Berlin. The group travels to Amsterdam, where Jamie is robbed while receiving oral sex in an alley, losing everyone's money, passports, and train tickets. Cooper, in his continuing attempt at crazy European sex, visits Club Vandersexxx; which turns out to be a dominatrix club fun by Lucy Lawless. Cooper is then sexually assaulted with a tripple dildo machine. Meanwhile, Jenny and Scotty think they are trying hash brownies; but it turns out there is no weed in them and they are not high. With their money and passports gone, they attempt to hitchhike to Berlin, but due to a language misunderstanding, they end up in Bratislava. Finding a great exchange rate with the U.S. dollar, the group goes to a nightclub. Drunk on absinthe, Jenny and Jamie make out with each other, witnessed by Scotty and Cooper, and are horrified when they realize what they are doing. The next day, a Slovak man drives them to Berlin, where they learn from Miekes dad that Mieke has left with a summer tour group, and will be reachable in Rome for only a short time. While Scotty is talking to Miekes dad, Cooper watches Miekes young step-brother color a tiny mustache on himself and goose step around his apartment; much to Coopers surprise. As they debate what to do outside the apartment, Jamie sells his Leica Camera for plane tickets to Rome to find Mieke. -Apparently the courier thing was a real thing, but has declined over the past 10-15 years, as couriers built their own fleets.-The robot fight is hilarious, but obviously not realistic at all.-Michelle Trachtenberg is hot. Killer body. I miss the shirts like she wears in the Bratislava, which I didn't know was a real country until recently. It doesn't look like the movies, though, very nice and pedestrian.-A used Leica M6 on Ebay was going for $2,772.-I love the whole Bratislava section; the green fairy and everything. I find it hilarious. In Rome, the group heads to Vatican City, where Mieke is touring before her summer at sea. Inside the Vatican, Scotty and Cooper search for Mieke and accidentally rings the bell that signals the Pope has died. They unknowingly enter the popes apartment, and after some fooling around, and accidentally dressing up as the pope, and accidentally setting a papal hat on fire, indicating a new pope has been elected, Scotty appears on the papal balcony, and everyone assumes he's the new pope. He spots Mieke in the cheering crowd below; all this happens while the current pope is watching on his tv. The Swiss guards realizes what is going on and detain Scotty and Cooper for their actions. However, the Manchester United football hooligans from London suddenly appears at the Vatican and telling the guards to release Scotty and Cooper. Scotty finally introduces himself to Mieke and confesses his love. Mieke is happy to see him, and they have sex in a confessional booth before she leaves on her trip. On the flight back to Ohio, Jenny and Cooper give into their urges and have sex in the plane's lavatory, while Jamie stays in Europe after being hired by Arthur Frommer. -No way they would've been able to just get into the Vatican without some sort of tour group paper work. Even if he did know everything.-There is no way access to the Popes apartment is just in a random door that is accessible by anyone. Also weird they would have the bell that indicates the pope has died right by his door.-In the original ending, Mieke turns Scotty down... Making a more rational decision that they don't know each other well enough. Scotty moves to Oberlin College in the fall term for his studies. During his phone conversation with Cooper, who is now dating Jenny, Cooper asks what Scotty's new roommate looks like. Mieke knocks on the door of his room, having been assigned to the same room because of another misunderstanding about her name. Scotty and Mieke embrace and get into bed together, with Cooper calling for Scott on the other end of a still-open cell phone call and the film closing with the Absinthe Green Fairy wondering at his own lack of a sex life. -You'd think in one of the forms Mieke would've had to fill out to attend college, and get assigned a dorm room, she would have checked the "female" box, but I guess they missed that part. If anything, I feel bad she's probably in an all male dorm. Also, at 18... I mean, I seriously doubt they'll end up together forever. Top Five Trivia of the movie: Top 5 TriviaThey had a lot of trouble casting Scotty. “It had gotten to the point, literally, where we were going to restaurants, staring at our waiters,” said Mandel of the search for Scotty. Luckily, Mechlowicz, a UCLA student at the time, “rode in on a white horse” to save them from further stress over casting the all-important part. Meanwhile, Trachtenberg credited her physical comedy in her audition — which was the airplane scene where Jenny climbs over Cooper on her way to the bathroom — to her getting the job offer from the producers. “And I blew them,” deadpanned Trachtenberg, who got several laughs from the crowd for her natural EuroTrip-style humor. Above all, though, producers said it was important to them at the time to cast real teenagers in the roles. “We didn't want 35-year-olds playing high school kids,” said Schaffer.Despite all the political incorrectness in the film, there was one scene that was just too much for the studio, referred to by producers as “The Anne Frank sex scene.” In the scene — never filmed but available in script form on the original DVD, they claim — Cooper finds a flyer for a sex club called “The Secret Room” and accidentally misidentifies the house of Anne Frank as the club. (“He asks somebody, ‘Is this The Secret Room' and they go, ‘Yes, it will change your life,'” Berg recalled.) Encountering a big line outside, Cooper assumes he has found the correct place, but instead of waiting, he goes through a backdoor. Once he discovers a small room with a small bed, he decides to get naked and wait for a sex worker — but soon after finds himself exposed in front of a tour group. (To make matters worse, Anne Frank's only living relative was a part of the tour group.) And as if that wasn't enough to horrify the studio, the scene also had Cooper reaching for a small mannequin — one guess as to whom it was modeled after — and covering his private parts with it, resulting in an unintended sexually explicit visual for the tour group. The producers wrote the Club Vandersexxx scene to replace this scene once it was nixed.The original title was Ugly Americans. But the studio didn't want the movie with “ugly” in the title or a “sarcastic or ironic” title, said Schaffer. “We had a knock-down, drag-out fight with them,” said Schaffer, “which is like having a fight with your parents when you're four because they can call it whenever they want.” And they did.The nude beach scene originally had much less nudity in it. But once they started filming, they realized it took away from the comedy to have all the extras holding surf boards and other objects — Austin Powers-style — to cover their private parts. “We thought, ‘Wouldn't it be funnier if it was just wall-to-wall penises?'” said Mandel. The extras likely didn't mind the change; according to Trachtenberg, there was a lack of shyness between takes, making for an awkward craft services environment.Matt Damon's cameo — as the band leader/guy who steals Scotty's girlfriend, played by Kristin Kreuk — came together because the producers knew him from their days at Harvard…and he was in Prague. In fact, many parts, including Jeffrey Tambor's, were filled because the actors were already shooting in Prague, where EuroTrip was filmed. “No one wanted to fly over and we didn't have the money to have anyone fly over,” recalled Schaffer. “So we basically looked around and said, ‘Who's filming in Prague?'” Luckily, Damon was in town shooting The Brothers Grimm. Not so lucky, however, was that the only night he was available was the shortest night of the summer, so “we literally had from 10:45 at night…and the sun would come up at 3:45,” remembered Schaffer. “So we shot it in, like, 4.5 hours.”And a little fun tidbit from me Marcus the Song Scotty doesn't know Matt Damon sing on Spotify it has 124 762 320M Downloads.

If you're a keen traveller, it's a good bet that you have a Frommer's Guide or two on your bookshelf. The highly respected guidebooks have been around since 1957 and the company is still family- owned. In this podcast, Natascha Mirosch talks with New Yorker Pauline Frommer, co-president of Frommer's Media, award winning-travel writer and editorial director of of Frommer's guidebooks, podcast host and daughter of Arthur Frommer who published that first guide, the seminal "Europe on $5 a day." They discuss those early days and what prompted Arthur, a lawyer by trade, to go into the publishing business and what place guidebooks have into today's world and into the future. This is a really fun and informative episode if you've ever wondered about the life of a travel writer (spoiler alert – there's not a lot of sitting around hotel pools sipping cocktails.) Pauline shares what it's like to have to write fast and fearlessly, to stay at a different hotel every night, haunt nightclubs until 3 in the morning and sometimes eat 2 dinners in a single night. There's also some fantastic insider intel about her home city, New York – from where to stay, to her favourite café plus what you can safely exclude from your NYC bucket list.

Nicholas Kontis was born on one of the most breathtaking islands in the world, Santorini, Greece, and brought up in America's culture capital of San Francisco. Nick developed a passion for travel at a very young age, going back and forth between San Francisco and Athens, Greece during summer vacation. It would be an exploring trip around the world at age 24 that would end up being a life changing experience. Subsequent to travelling by car, train, plane, bike, boat and hitchhiking all through the globe, it was this trip of a lifetime that drove Kontis to a long-lasting affection for travel as well as to a career in the travel industry. Nick has been featured as a guest speaker on both radio and television. He has been mentioned by Lonely Planet's Tony Wheeler as an airfare master, and often alluded to as the "father of around the world airfares." Arthur Frommer once said, "If Jules Verne were alive today he would use Nick Kontis to go around the world in 80 days."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

You can only tour so many museums virtually before your itchy feet yearn for adventure. Give in to your wanderlust by dusting off your bucket list and adding to it. Borders will eventually reopen, flights will resume and you’ll freely explore new destinations again. When that time comes, do you want to hang-glide over Rio de Janeiro? Track silverback gorillas in Rwanda? Summit Mt. Kilimanjaro? For this Fireside Chat, we’re bringing in the most qualified person to help you curate your bucket list: Lee Abbamonte. He’s the youngest person to have traveled to every country in the world, including the North and South poles.

Today’s travel show was devoted to the question: what has travel taught you? To kick off the discussion, special guest Arthur Frommer called in to the show, and shared some of the life lessons he has acquired over the years. Jason and Pauline also fielded questions from several travelers who have summer travels planned and are wondering if they’ll be able to go.
In these days of national emergency, it may be appropriate to note the ways in which the eventual resumption of travel will again enlarge our lives. And surely, that resumption will occur.

THE WEED BUSINESS: Analysts are calling it the country’s "fastest-growing industry" and Arthur Frommer (godfather of the travel industry who founded the Frommer's guide) said “get ready for the era of marijuana tourism”. In the US, 8 states have legalized its recreational use and more than half of all US states permit it for medical purposes. In Dec, The New York Stock Exchange listed its first public marijuana company. Times are changing, so I sat down with Joe Dolce, author of “Brave New Weed” to explore the future of the weed business and its social impact. WHO IS JOE? Joe Dolce is a seasoned journalist who worked with Anna Wintour at Vogue, introduced Jamie Oliver to the US audience as the chief of Gourmet magazine and spent a week in Mexico trying to outdrink Anthony Bourdain. He has a treasure trove of stories spanning an impressive 20yr career as a journalist. For the last 3yrs, Joe travelled the globe researching the uncharted world of the cannabis industry. From legal states in the US, medical research in Israel, weed tourism in Colorado & the criminal justice system - Joe has dug deep into this topic. 5 THINGS TO LISTEN OUT FOR: (1) His Journalist Background - stories of interviewing Hugh Hefner in the playboy mansion & Anna Wintour eating cheeseburgers at her desk. How his background in journalism got him onto this topic for his book. (2) History - Why has it been such a taboo subject, what is changing now, legalization vs decriminalization, positive & negative impact. (3) Current Landscape - what does the landscape look like right now? How are people like Snoop Dogg, Whoopi Goldberg & The Marley Family setting up to profit? (4) Future Growth of the Weed Business - comparing it to the beer business & wine country, big pharma, tobacco companies, investment, weed tourism & medical use. (5) Social impact - the US has 5% of the global population but 25% of its prisoners, what impact will legalization have on the criminal justice system? How will it impact people of color who are disproportionately impacted by minor drug offenses?

Travel writer and award winning author Perry Garfinkel returns to Bainbridge Island by popular demand to teach another travel writing workshop following his 2015 sold out travel writing workshop. This year, Perry's workshop will again incorporate hands-on, indoor/outdoor practical writing exercises, with a field trip and fun lessons. The topic this time will be memoir writing -- as distinct from last year's focus on travel journals and travel articles for publication. Join other writers, aspiring writers, and people who love to travel (and write about it) for a full weekend from Friday through Sunday. Because Perry's workshop was so popular last year, and so fully subscribed, he has agreed to come early and give a separate additional talk. On Wednesday, April 27th from 7-8:30 pm in the auditorium of the BI Museum of Art, the topic will be “The Travel Writer's Mindset - and How it Can Enhance Any Journey.” Perry's topic coincides with the art museum's “Journeys” exhibition and draws on his own worldwide journeys, both to global destinations and within. Garfinkel is a published travel writer and contributor to the New York Times, Wall St. Journal Asia, Huffington Post blog, and numerous national and international magazines. He is the bestselling author of "Buddha or Bust", which was selected by Shambhala Press for Best Buddhist Writing of 2007. Perry's book "Travel Writing for Profit and Pleasure", published in 1989, was called "the definitive work in its field" by travel guide guru Arthur Frommer. Learn more at Perry Garfinkel's website. The travel memoir writing workshop will begin on the afternoon of Friday, April 29th, and includes an informal reception that evening at Fletcher Bay Winery in the Coppertops. It continues at Bainbridge Island Museum of Art all day Saturday, and then through 2pm on Sunday. The fee charged by nonprofit writers' group Fields End will include boxed lunches on Saturday and Sunday from the art museum bistro. Registration is online at Fields End website. Space is limited to 15 participants. Credits: BCB host: Channie Peters; BCB audio editor and social media publisher: Barry Peters.

Travel Channel's "Bizzare Foods" host Andrew Zimmern has traveled the world to experience some of the most unusual looking foods that many of the world's people depend on for their survival. In spite of the entertainment value of eating things that appear grossly unappetizing, Andrew bridges culturals and displays a more serious side to his adventures. Travel writer Pauline Frommer, daughter of budget travel guru Arthur Frommer, is helping to build on the legacy that her father started in the 1950s. She has developed her own line of travel guide books and continues to cohost the Frommer's Travel Show with her dad. Pauline joins us to offer some valuable travel advise. Patricia Schultz is the author of the "1000 Places To See Before You Die" series. She tells us how she selected the "must-see" places for her global and North American books and she also offers some sage travel advice. We will also shine a destination spotlight on the U.S. Virgin Islands and Turks and Caicos.

It is my absolute pleasure to bring you the brilliant Jason Cochran. And I mean brilliant, not just in travel, but also his insights about the entire media industry, plus he's a huge history buff. I'm thrilled that Jason & I share a common background as previous editors at Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel magazine, so listen to his tips about traveling on a budget, not getting scammed abroad, & what it's like to work for the legendary Mr. Frommer. I'm also pleased to announce that Jason is the new Editor In Chief of Frommers.com, plus he's written two new guidebooks that will be the flagship publications of Arthur Frommer's relaunch of his new series (the first under his direct editorial control in decades!). Mr. Frommer's new direction for guidebooks will be under $10, less cumbersome, & more opinionated. So make sure to check out the new "EasyGuides" series, especially Jason's guidebook about London due out in November, & his Walt Disney World/Orlando guidebook in January. So congrats to Jason & the entire Frommer's brand! Whomever said guidebooks are dead was sadly mistaken...
Episode 64 I just got back from Bonaire so we have a misbehaving donkey story, lots of celebrities on the airplane and one fast moving Italian. Since we are talking about famous folks, Arthur Frommer actually does the lead in...how fun is that? The music from this episode is all local music from Bonaire, I recorded music at the annual Rincon Festival (those islanders really know how to party!) and also from a local restaurant called Donna and Giorgios.

It's been almost 50 years since Arthur Frommer (FROE-mer) first published his groundbreaking travel guidebook "Europe on Five Dollars a Day." In the 1970s, Frommer's books helped instruct a young Rick Steves how to travel light, on a tight budget, and "through the back door" to interact with the people and authentic cultures overseas. Arthur Frommer is Rick's special guest on this week's edition of Travel with Rick Steves, as they reminisce and chat about how much international travel has changed over the past half-century.
