I've practiced yoga with goats in the Swiss Alps and chased Alaskan King Salmon off the shores of Prince of Wales Island.

I've hot air ballooned above the Sierra Nevada and tracked rhinos in the savannah of the Maasai Mara."She has written for Architectural Digest, Departures, Forbes, The Week, Business Insider, TripSavvy, The Daily Beast, Tasting Table, Elite Daily, PopSugar, Electrify, Brit + Co, Insider, Go Overseas, Quest Magazine, and the New Jersey Hills Media Group and she is the Caribbean Expert for TripSavvy.Katherine Parker-Magyar has been 6 continents, 63 countries, and all 50 states, I do want you to keep in mind that Katherine talks very fast so listen carefully or slow down the speed of your playback. Katherine, thank you so much for being on the show and thank you all for listening to both the Reel Travels podcast and The Write Start podcast.

Gender roles are changing and blending together and the stay-at-home dad or part time dad population is growing. More fathers than ever are participating in their children's nurturing and upbringing. The thing is that fathers and mothers come into the parenting process differently though. For the mother, the connection is biological. It's a part of her. Fathering, on the other hand, is less so. Therefore, it's important for men to learn the skills they need to be a good dad. For some guys it's more intuitive, like kicking a football, but most guys need a coach or some direction.

Man can't go overseas as his surname is 'too rude' for passport

If you're into overseas travel but interested in changing your name, you may want to take note of this man's mistake.After changing his name, Kenny Kennard is no longer able to travel overseas — because his new surname is too offensive to be printed on a passport.The 33-year-old changed his surname to "Fu-Kennard" as a joke several years ago, but now he's not laughing after being told he cannot have it on any travel documents.The supermarket worker from Cornwall in the UK has contested the passport office's verdict three times — but the Home Office has refused to budge on their verdict that his surname "may cause offence"."I'd decided to change my name to Fu-Kennard a few years back," he told The Mirror."When I had to apply for a driving licence, it was accepted fine, so I figured it wouldn't make much difference in applying for a passport. How wrong I was."I got refused on grounds that my name could cause offence or was vulgar."So I complained, but they upheld their decision, so I complained again. I was then told they'd keep the fee for administration costs."If I wanted to take the matter further, they said I'd need to contact my MP."So I wrote to MP Scott Mann, and he replied saying they're within their remit to refuse."Mr Fu-Kennard said he was shocked that people would take his name as more than a joke, and the verdict made him feel like a prisoner in his own homeland."Now I'm skint with no passport, like a prisoner in my own country," he said."On the one hand, I find the whole thing funny — as do all of my friends. But I'm also finding it hard to believe the name could be construed as anything but funny and slightly ridiculous. It's just a joke. Fu-Kennard' is not offensive, and I object to them denying my chosen name."It's not the first time the 33-year-old has changed his name.When he was 16, he became "Coco Kenny", but after joining the army and wanting to be taken seriously, he had to change it to something more sensible.But after eight years with the military, he was able to change his name again, deciding on something with a bit of "fun" to it."Life's too short to be boring," he said, noting he went with "Fu-Kennard" because "not everyone gets the joke".According to the Home Office's official guidelines, a passport applicant cannot have a name that "may cause outrage or offence" or that could be classed as "unacceptable," including the use of "swear words; sexually explicit references; inappropriate religious connotation; is vulgar, offensive, or libellous to an individual; makes use of a name of a person living or dead which may cause public concern".Mr Fu-Kennard said the Home Office had told him it would only proceed with an application for a passport if he either changed his name to one that was acceptable or used his previous name."Without a passport, I can't go on holiday abroad," he said."I live in a seaside town but have always enjoyed travelling."My last holiday — to Sri Lanka — was about three years ago. But there are so many countries I'd still like to visit, such as Cambodia."I have a stag do in three weeks, for instance. When the best man was deciding what to do for it, he knew I couldn't travel — so he settled on Cardiff instead."I don't know what else I can do to escalate the situation with HM Passport Office because no one has advised me how else I can challenge the verdict."I only have one red line, though — I'm keeping my surname."I don't want to change it again, especially because they're restricting my freedom."I like Fu-Kennard."

Space Tourism? If you don’t know what that is, Valerie Stimac is here to tell you! Valerie is the creator of the successful travel blog Valerie & Valise, which has helped her springboard into a number of other gigs within the travel writing industry; she’s a long-time contributor to Lonely Planet, and the Managing Editor for Go Overseas. Most recently, she launched the Space Tourism Guide, an out-of-this-world resource for astro tourism and the emerging idea of commercial space travel.  And yes, this episode has a couple of space puns… Valerie met up with us in Oakland, CA at Drake’s Dealership – a car dealership-turned-brewpub – to discuss her career in travel writing, give us a crash course on space tourism, and share some actionable tips on how you too can jump into travel blogging. Tune in, because this episode is stellar! (Sorry…) After you listen, make sure to head over to PubcastWorldwide.com to leave a comment and sign-up for the monthly “Brewsletter.” Cheers!

Tucker Hutchinson has had quite the career. After getting fired from his finance job in New York City, he joined the Obama campaign in 2008 before heading abroad to teach English in Seoul, South Korea. Since then, he’s co-founded Go Overseas, an online resource that simplifies the process for going overseas to work, volunteer, study abroad, or even take a gap year. Tucker and I met up at Jupiter – a brewpub in Berkeley, CA - to talk all things related to going abroad, traveling in Asia, and of course, to drink some of Jupiter’s creamy in-house brews.

Can Pwyll regain his Faerie Bride? Part 9 of the First Branch of the Mabinogion story. Having been tricked at his own wedding feast, Pwyll returns to Dyfed in deep depression. There he has to wait for a year before he can return to the Otherworld. Only then will he see whether Rhiannon's plan will work and he can regain his Faerie Bride. But tricking the tricksters is never an easy task! In this episode we see exactly what happens when Pwyll returns on that fateful day!

Not from Nantle but from our own research.. The Court of Hefaydd Hen THE COURT OF HEFEYDD HEN (or Hyfaidd Hen) – unknown, but, according to the Mabinogion, certainly not in Dyfed. But according to some other traditions, Hefeydd was the first King of Dyfed. Gorsedd Arberth was his burial place and also the entrance to Annwn. Was this the enchanted castle in the third Branch? A hero called Hefeydd Hir is found in the 6th century epic poem Y Gododdin (composed by a Briton named Aneurin who lived in a land which is now part of Scotland). In the second Branch of the Mabinogion he appears as one of the Seven Knights, King Hefeydd of Dyfed who died in 892 etc... Hefeydd was a common name in Mediaeval Wales. The Kingdom of Gwawl fab Clud Map of Scotland showing the Wall It is said that the literal meaning of the name is “Wall Son Of Wealth”. “Gwawl”, according to the University of Wales Dictionary means: The Vallum (Roman wall) between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde - the Antonine Wall, not Hadrian’s Wall Man Light But his last name more than likely refers to the River Clyde in Scotland. Therefore he was one of the people of the Old North, that is to say they were Britons, like the Welsh. Alt Clud - now called Dumbarton Rock Their capital was Allt Clud – a huge rock on the further north bank of the River Clyde. [Now called Dumbarton (City of the Britons) Rock NS399745].

This is probably one of the biggest questions that small business owners have when it comes to outsourcing work - even just tasks, let alone actual roles! In this episode Chris goes over the pro's and con's of both staying closer to home, and sending work overseas. Sometimes it pays to stay local, but for small business owners on a budget, the idea of working with overseas VAs is an attractive one.
