Why is it so hard to make good decisions in higher risk situations? High risk situations are ones where a mistake, a miscalculation or a mishap can lead to serious or unmanageable consequences. These situations are the ones where uncertainty and the threat of experiencing serious consequences can apply pressure that can cloud our judgment.In this episode Chris and Jordy are joined by Colin Zacharius to explore how we can make better decisions in high-risk situations.Colin is well renowned ACMG /IFMGA Mountain Guide who has worked in the adventure industry since 1980. Colin has worked as a guide, guide trainer, avalanche educator, accident investigator, risk management specialist and speaker.He has worked extensively in the cat skiing and Heli-skiing industry in Canada and the US. He has trained and examined guides across multiple disciplines for the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides where he previously served as the technical director.Colin harnesses his extensive experience working in the adventure industry to help us to understand why it so hard to make good decisions in high-risk situations and how we can avoid some of the mistakes that he has seen throughout his career.Key TakeawaysHow to make better decisions in high-risk situations:Imagine: What the worst-case scenario could look like.Practice Good Habits: This includes taking the time to be well prepared, being situationally aware so that you know what is happening or likely to happen and being aware of any human factors that may negatively influence your judgment.Examine Decisions Afterwards: Either by getting peer feedback, debriefing with your team or by using self-assessment. The intention should be to examine decisions that are made regardless of the outcome, with the intent of identifying things that went well and areas that could be improved. What you really want to identify are trends.Build in an Adequate Margin of Error: This gives you a buffer in case of a mistake, misstep, miscalculation or there is a surprise.Avoid Normalizing High Risk Situations: When we become too comfortable in high-risk situations, we become complacent to the danger.Guest BioColin Zacharius is well renowned ACMG /IFMGA Mountain Guide who has worked in the adventure industry since 1980.

Two of the world's most accomplished blind climbers, Erik Weihenmayer and Andy Holzer share their story, from the serendipitous first meeting on a high ledge in the Dolomites to climbing Everest from opposite sides. It's a testament to human connection, resilience, and the art of overcoming “impossible” challenges.
In the past few days there have been a number of deaths on ski slopes in the Alps and, in recent months, hikers in Greece, climbers in Italy's Dolomite mountains, and guides in the Himalayas have all lost their lives.The peak season for these huge and potentially lethal mass movements of snow is now underway in the northern hemisphere. To understand the dangers, and what it's like to experience an avalanche, we hear from three survivors. For mountaineer Cory Richards in South Africa, the impact of an avalanche while climbing the world's 13th tallest mountain in Pakistan left him and his two climbing partners thinking they were all about to die. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from BBC OS Conversations, bringing together people from around the world to discuss how major news stories are affecting their lives.

As 2025 comes to a close, I'm looking back on a remarkable year in travel where I explored some new places in some old countries. In this Year of Travel in Review 2025, I'm sharing a high-level overview of where I traveled during the year — from England's countryside and dramatic coastlines to iconic regions of France, with the Italian Dolomites, where I led my very first Wander Your Way Adventures small group tour, woven in between. This episode isn't a deep dive into each destination (those are coming!), but rather a big-picture look at how this intensive travel season shaped my perspective, my work and what's ahead. During a late-summer and fall travel window, I explored several of England's most beloved (and quietly spectacular) regions, including Oxfordshire, the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales and the coastal town of Whitby in North Yorkshire. Each place offered a different pace and personality — and plenty of inspiration for future episodes. France was another highlight of 2025, with time spent in Normandy, the Loire Valley, and my favorite city, Paris — reinforcing why France remains such a cornerstone of European travel.And reminding me that I still have so much more of this fabulous country to explore). Finally, one of the most meaningful parts of this Year of Travel in Review 2025 centers on Italy — specifically the Dolomites — where I led and hosted the inaugural Wander Your Way Adventures small group tour. What an experience!Leading this first small group adventure was a defining moment for me and for my business — truly unforgettable. So tune in as I reflect on my Year of Travel in Review 2025, a season that left a lasting mark.Want to chat more about travel to Europe?Email me at Lynne@WanderYourWay.comIn this episode:0:45: Intro3:25: Oxfordshire England6:02: Peak District England7:40: Yorkshire Dales England8:51: East to Whitby England12:30: Back to the Peak District 14:18: Normandy France19:03: Loire Valley France21:41: Paris22:32: First Wander Your Way Adventures Small Group Tour31:31: Wander Your Way Adventures 2026 Tours35:49: Wrapping it upImportant links: Peak DistrictYorkshire Dales Normandy FranceLoire Valley FranceWander Your Way AdventuresWander Your WayWander Your Way Resources ★ Support this podcast ★
There are travel experiences… and then there are stories you tell for the rest of your life. Total Tuscany Podcast Episode 97 delivers one of those stories, taking listeners deep into the heart of Italy with Dream Italy's unforgettable Viva Italia Experience. The episode marks a long-awaited return for the podcast, and hosts Travis Justice and Pat Campagna come back swinging with a conversation that perfectly captures what Total Tuscany has always been about: extraordinary experiences over ordinary trips. Their guest, Giorgio Dell'Artino, founder of Dream Italy, doesn't just sell tours—he curates once-in-a-lifetime moments. Viva Italia began with a simple but brilliant idea. Why not let travelers experience Tuscany the way Italians dream about it—behind the wheel of a world-class luxury car, carving through the rolling hills of Siena? What started with two exotic cars has evolved into a fully immersive, fully supported self-drive luxury experience spanning Tuscany, Italy, and even parts of France. Picture this: you slide into a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Maserati, the engine growling as vineyard-lined roads unfold in front of you. A professional tour leader guides the route. Every detail—fuel, logistics, hotels, meals, parking, and support—is handled. You don't worry about directions, traffic rules, or flat tires. You simply drive, savor, and experience Italy in a way very few ever will. As Giorgio explains, Viva Italia isn't about reckless speed. It's about control, confidence, and connection—to the road, the landscape, and the culture. The routes are carefully chosen for beauty and safety, with moments where drivers can truly feel what these cars were built to do. And yes, guests even rotate cars during the tour, giving them the chance to experience multiple vehicles. What makes this episode especially compelling is the depth of Dream Italy's philosophy. Since 1997, Giorgio has personally built relationships with nearly 2,000 top-tier suppliers—from five-star hotels and historic castles to private yachts, Michelin-level dining, and exclusive cultural access. Every Viva Italia itinerary is customized, whether it's a two-day Tuscan escape or a multi-day journey from Rome to Milan, Venice to the Dolomites, Sicily, or the French Riviera. The conversation also highlights why Tuscany remains Italy's most beloved region: art, food, wine, history, countryside, and soul—all in one place. Yet Viva Italia proves that Italy can still surprise even the most seasoned traveler. This is more than a driving tour. It's luxury travel redefined, where time is valued, privacy is protected, and memories are guaranteed. If you've ever dreamed of Italy—and dreamed big—Episode 97 of the Total Tuscany Podcast will make you want to turn the key, press the accelerator, and shout it loud: Viva Italia.

Please follow us on: Instagram or Facebook ! In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso talk about travel to Italy during the high season. They suggest places to visit and compare their personal recommendations to those generated by AI models like Google Gemini and ChatGPT. Key Points: High Season in Italy: The high season in Italy now runs from Easter through September. The discussion focuses on how crowds impact the travel experience during this period. Navigating Travel Information: Tommaso discusses the prevalence of AI-generated content and the rapid growth of the influencer market. They highlight the need for authentic and reliable information in travel planning. Kimberly and Tommaso's Top Recommendations for High Season 2026: Lago Molveno: A tranquil mountain lake village, perfect for hiking and biking, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. Portovenere, Liguria: A colorful coastal village south of Cinque Terre, offering boat trips to Palmaria Island and delicious pesto. Cuneo Province, Piemonte: Ideal for a driving trip, known for its truffles, Barolo wine, and charming towns like Alba and Bra. Also features the Santuario di San Magno with spectacular mountain views. AI Recommendations vs. Reality: ChatGPT's suggestions for high season include popular, often overcrowded, destinations like the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre, Taormina, and Florence. Google Gemini suggests the Dolomites, Verona, Puglia, Sicily, Ischia, Umbria, and Bologna. Both AI models acknowledge the presence of crowds in their suggestions, but Kimberly and Tomaso emphasize the extent of overcrowding in these popular areas during peak season. AI models currently provide summaries of information, lacking the personal opinions and unique experiences that human experts offer. Many Italian businesses close for Ferragosto, impacting city experiences. Authenticity in Travel Planning: The hosts advocate for authentic, ground-level expertise over generic AI recommendations. Kimberly notes that AI cannot convey the magical, sensory experiences of travel, such as the one-of-a-kind experience of waking up to the scent of Edelweiss flowers in the Italian mountains.
It’s the holiday season, but it's also time for advisors and consumers alike to start thinking of travel plans for the year ahead. And to stoke interest in destinations from the Dolomites to Dominica, Power List agency Chase Travel for a second year is doing a list of inspirational travel destinations, called "26 Trips to Take in 2026." On this episode host Rebecca Tobin talks with Karen McGee, president of Valerie Wilson Travel, and Hillary Reinsberg, head of content for card and connected commerce at Chase, about inspiration for the list and how it was created, consumer travel trends and, of course, specific destinations on the list itself and where you might get ideas for the year ahead.

Send us a text#359 - Rob Sembiante has attempted and finished race distances that many of us wouldn't even think about starting. He counts Antarctica, the Dolomites and 300 miles through the Utah wildlands as three of his toughest. He joins mem this week to talk about them, as well as the established race he's taking over next year, the Bootleg Boogie. He'll talk about why he's starting this new challenge and what changes are being made. It's a great race and Rob will only make it better. The show website is going away in January.

This week the crew kicks off a new Table Wine mini-series with a surprise twist. Joel, Aaron, and Colin open not one but two bottles from Bollini: a 2024 Pinot Grigio and a 2023 Merlot. The goal is simple. Find affordable, crowd friendly wines you can set on the holiday table without overthinking a thing.The trio talks through what makes a true table wine, why ABV matters more than you think, and how the 20-20 rule keeps both reds and whites tasting their best. They dig into Bollini's story, the Dolomites, and why this producer leans on clean, stainless steel winemaking to let their fruit speak for itself.From pear and green apple freshness in the Pinot Grigio to cherry, strawberry, and a touch of spice in the Merlot, the team breaks down both bottles with their usual blend of curiosity and chaos. Expect friendly debates, plenty of quaffable energy, and a few unexpected detours involving weddings, grocery store wines, and silent haircuts.If you're figuring out what to bring to Thanksgiving or just want a couple of budget friendly options that won't derail dinner, this episode has you covered.Learn more about Bollini WineBollini Websitehttp://bollini.wine/Connect with the show.

Taking a break next in a pasture on a hike in the Dolomites, while we admire the view we can hear birdsong in the trees surrounding us and the gentle buzz of insects. Recorded by Cities and Memory, July 2025.
"I've never been to the Dolomites before, but a close friend was recently there. He showed me his photos of the mountain range and told me about the locals and hikers he met along the trails and in the backcountry. Seems amazing. His stories supplemented the original field recording in a way that enabled me to start working on the music. "I knew I wanted to use an acoustic guitar as a key driving element for the feeling I was going for. I also knew that I would keep the original field recording unadulterated to provide more realistic context." Birdsong and insects in the Dolomites reimagined by Eulipion Corps.
In this episode of the 10Adventures podcast, we are joined by Cassandra Overby, writer, traveler, and author of Home Base Hiking Europe. Cassandra challenges the traditional “see everything” approach to travel and introduces a more meaningful, grounded model: choosing a single village or valley as your base and exploring through daily hikes. Cassandra shares how her philosophy of slow travel grew out of a “travel breakup” in her twenties and evolved into a new way of moving through Europe — one that prioritizes connection, culture, and authentic local life. She explains why small villages offer richer experiences than tourist hotspots and how travelers can blend hiking, culture, food, and community simply by slowing down. From the Dolomites to the Somme, the Piedmont to Provence, Cassandra walks through some of her favorite home-base regions across Europe — and the unique stories, landscapes, and local interactions that make them come alive. This episode is full of practical insights and deep reflections on how to travel better, notice more, and build real connections along the way.

"I thought about the cows maybe wanting someone else to jam along with in the Dolomites, and then a bunch of choristers turn up with a wannabe DJ in tow, and they end up getting it together just in time for milking." Cowbells in Colmean, the Dolomites reimagined by Rod Dykeman.
The gentle tinkling of cowbells in a field among the Dolomites at the end of a long summer afternoon. Recorded in Colmean, Italy by Cities and Memory, June 2025.
Have you ever put off a dream because of your weight? That was Dr. Marie Strenger's reality as well. As an emergency room physician, she spent years caring for everyone else while her own needs kept getting pushed aside. Between exhausting shifts, stress, and that familiar "I'll start again tomorrow," she felt stuck—until she discovered a different path. Through the Shift Weight Mastery Process and hypnosis, Marie began making simple mental and habit shifts: a quick meditation in the car after work, long ocean walks with her husband, and small daily choices that brought her back to herself. The weight came off, the food noise softened, and her energy returned. And then she celebrated in the most unforgettable way—by paragliding over the Dolomites in Italy, soaring into a new chapter with a lighter body and a freer mind. This week's episode, it isn't just about weight loss—it's about freedom, joy, and the confidence to say yes to the life waiting for you. Whether that means a peaceful holiday season, a daily walk, or your own version of flying above the Alps, Marie's story will show you what's possible when you stop "starting over" and start shifting for good. Tune in now to this empowering episode! Come on in! FREE MASTERCLASS! How to Stop The "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Start Releasing Weight For Good In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… Why breaking free from trigger foods begins with understanding how your brain is wired — not relying on more willpower or restriction. The mindset shifts that helped Marie move from self-doubt to confidence, opening the door to big dreams. How tuning into your whole mind—not just "trying harder"—creates lasting Weight Mastery and freedom you can feel every day.

Ever wish your mountain snacks were as good as your powder days? In this week's episode, Richard talks with Lily and Max Ritter, skiers, world travelers, and authors of the new cookbook Ski Snacks: Easy, Tasty Recipes for Powder Days and Mountain Adventures. The Ritters share their story of blending their love of food and skiing, offering practical tips for eating well in the backcountry without the processed energy bars or expensive packaged food we're all used to. They talk about how their travels inspired their recipes, how their community of skiers helped test every snack in the book, and why homemade food can make a day on the slopes even better. From apple strudel in the Dolomites to homemade energy bites and tailgate treats, Ski Snacks shows that eating well outdoors can be easy, affordable, and delicious.

Please Follow us on: Instagram or Facebook ! In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso continue their discussion of favorite places in Italy. They add a beloved city to their list and share favorite countryside regions Favorite Cities: Adding Venezia Beyond the Crowds: Kimberly and Tommaso admit Venice can be crowded. They share how to see it in a less crowded way, even during high season. Knowing where to stay and when to visit certain spots helps. A Unique City: Venice is unlike any other city. It feels enchanting, otherworldly. Walking narrow alleyways (calli) transports visitors back centuries. Engineering Marvel: The city's ingenious foundation system uses wooden pilings. These pilings are now as hard as concrete because they were oxygen-deprived for centuries. Historical Achievements: Tommaso shares Venice's contributions to Western civilization. Early system of checks and balances in government (675 A.D.). The Arsenal shipyard, the world's largest industrial complex before the Industrial Revolution (1104 AD). First street lighting ordinance (1128 AD). First state-guaranteed national bank (1157 AD). Invention of the elevator (1160 AD) for the Piazza San Marco bell tower. First government bonds (1171 AD) from forced citizen loans. The bill of exchange for international trade (around 1200 AD). Infused soap, inventing perfume and deodorant (1200s). First brick hearth with a chimney and flue (1227 AD). First child labor laws (1284 AD) for Murano glass production. Returning to Venice: Tommaso is a serious fan, therefore he plans on many returns. Favorite Countryside Regions The Dolomites: Kimberly's History: She has a long history of hiking trails and staying in refugios. She recalls picnics with friends in alpine meadows. Skiing was a frequent activity. Tommaso's First Visit: His first visit was last December. He notes the unique, jagged peaks compared to US mountains. Cuisine and Air: The Dolomites offer high-end, creative cuisine and excellent wines. The fresh mountain air is invigorating. Toscana: Val d'Orcia: Picture-Perfect Landscape: This area in southeast Tuscany is idyllic. It resembles a painting or a movie set. It defines what many imagine when they hear “Tuscany.” UNESCO Status: Recognized in 2004, Val d'Orcia is a cultural landscape shaped by humans in harmony with nature. This status ensures its visual preservation. No modern buildings or businesses will alter its appearance. Medieval Villages: The area has authentic villages like Montepulciano, Pienza, and Montalcino. Locals live in these villages so it's not just a tourist destination. Winding Roads: Narrow, two-lane roads without shoulders connect the villages. This maintains the beauty. Lack of streetlights at night makes driving challenging for non-locals. Wine and Food: Home to famous wines like Brunello and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The cuisine features cured meats, ragu sauces, and pici pasta. Puglia: Distinct Landscape: Puglia stands out geographically. It resembles Greece, Turkey, or even the central Australian desert with its burnt orange soil. Architecture: The stark white Trulli buildings and Masserias contrast with the colorful soil. This creates a unique landscape. Kimberly's Favorite Cuisine: Puglia's cuisine is Kimberly's favorite in Italy. They use many vegetables in dishes. These vegetables grow in the region's rich soil. Wines and Bread: The region produces diverse, full-bodied wines such as Primitivo and Negroamaro. Tommaso notes that their friend “Breadbasket Bridget,” claims Puglia has the world's best bread. Growing Popularity: Puglia offers fewer crowds, different cuisine and wines, and unique places to stay. The refreshing sea breeze adds to its appeal. Kimberly and Tommaso plan to discuss their favorite experiences or meals in the next episode.
Donate to support the show- anything is appreciated!Today is a tale of two sisters: limestone and dolomite. Limestone is far more popular and well-behaved, one of the most common stones in nature and in architecture. Dolomite, though similar in many ways, is one of the most difficult rocks to make on Earth. Even dolomite's name is a bone of contention. Today, we introduce both siblings to the show as we move forward in time, 3.75 billion years ago. Along the way, I'll give you a real experiment to try in the kitchen and we'll smash some stones together. Extra Credit: Try today's kitchen experiment, find some limestone around you, or get some calcium in your diet (dairy, leafy greens, or tofu).

At Rodeo Adventure Labs, adventure is in the name of our company, so our side quests are quite crucial to what we do. These quests have shifted over the years – from Silverton, to Florida, and recently to the Dolomites – but the goal behind the travel has remained the same: bring people together to ride bikes in great places. In this episode of the Rodeo Labs Podcast, Drew, Stephen, and Logan delve into the traveling Rodeo has undertaken, both locally and abroad. Where have we gone, what have we learned, and why does it mean so much independent of economic returns? Lastly, Drew and Stephen break down the most recent trip to the Dolomites and explain why Italy's northeast might be a Trail Donkey “Dreamland.”Host: Logan Jones-WilkinsGuests: Drew van Kampen and Stephen Fitzgerald Producer: Logan Jones-Wilkins Hosted on Acast.

In Episode 140 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, hosts Mike Zaccheo and Cameron Laufer cover a range of topics from heartwarming uses of points to travel industry updates and destination planning. They open with a moving story from a community member who used 18,000 AA miles to fly an old friend across the country for emotional support—highlighting how miles can offer more than just luxury travel. Mike and Cameron then discuss notable credit card updates, including new Capital One transfer partners like Qatar Airways and Japan Airlines (with a 30% bonus), and question whether the $895 Amex Platinum fee is worth it given the long list of credits offered. Transfer bonuses from Citi and Amex are also covered, and they touch on current promotions like Chase Freedom's Q4 5x categories.The main segment dives into Cameron's recent trip to the Dolomites in Italy. He provides a detailed rundown on how to get there using points and miles from various programs—highlighting Emirates' fifth-freedom JFK–Milan route, and Star Alliance partners like United and Lufthansa. For accommodations, they explore luxury hotel options using programs like I Prefer, Marriott, and portals from Amex, Chase, Citi, and Capital One. Ground transportation tips emphasize renting a car over relying on trains and buses.

Please Follow us on: Instagram or Facebook ! In this episode of Kimberly's Italy, Kimberly and Tommaso discuss topics from tourism's impact on the Dolomite mountains to online travel scams and cybersecurity issues. Key Points: Summer in Italy: Italians love the summer season for the outdoor activities like festivals, concerts, and dining. Many Italians consider summer their favorite season since they love the sun, the beach and swimming. Over-Tourism in the Dolomites: Mass tourism is impacting the Dolomite Mountains. Overcrowding is causing damage to private lands, leading to disputes between landowners and tourism groups. Farmers started charging fees to access paths on their property to make a point, and a cry for help. AI and Travel Planning: YouTube is facing a rise in AI-generated content, or “slop,” affecting travel information. AI-generated videos are tricking tourists into visiting non-existent places. There have been instances of AI scams causing disappointment for travelers. It's important to double-check travel information found online. Cybersecurity - Juice Jacking: Juice jacking is a threat where malware is embedded in public USB ports. Travelers are advised not to use airport USB chargers to avoid malware infections. The use of portable power chargers is recommended. Public Wi-Fi networks in airports can be unsecured and targeted by hackers. Final Thoughts: Don't be discouraged from the extra amount of travel planning due to unreliable information since it will be worth the effort when you are finally in bel'italia! Be prepared and informed about the latest developments with AI and misleading imagery.
When I told an Italian friend we were going on holiday to the Dolomites, she told me it's her favorite place in the whole world, and yet word of its delights doesn't seem to have reached these shores yet. Breathtakingly beautiful, and a great destination to visit with the family in both summer and winter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Italy: Dining the Dolomites, bridging the Messina Strait. Lorenzo Fiori
While Brian frolics somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, Jason brings in cyber-sleuth Dave Bittner for a jam-packed episode covering everything from Gen X's slow descent into obscurity to furries, feds, and face-scanning your way into porn. The guys start with a salute to the late, great Tom Lehrer—a math nerd with a piano and zero tolerance for BS—before diving into the avalanche of cyber screwups plaguing today's digital circus.The biggest spill? The so-called “safe” dating app Tea just doxxed its entire user base—because who needs privacy when you've got bad Firebase settings from 2017? Meanwhile, teens are befriending chatbots, Microsoft is issuing pink slips via PowerPoint, and Meta might be training its AI on stolen porn. Add in farmers installing turnstiles in the Dolomites to keep influencers off their grass, age verification laws that Norman Reedus can bypass with a JPEG, and Tesla diners turning into 24/7 neighbor hellscapes, and yeah—it's just another week on the internet.If you're a Gen Xer feeling invisible, underpaid, and over it, congrats—you're not alone. This episode is a full buffet of schadenfreude, digital paranoia, and good old-fashioned grump. Pour a cup of whatever's not boiling, and tune in for the roast.
