Looking for destinations in Europe that deserve more love?In this episode, I'm sharing 12 places across Europe that I think deserve a spot on more travelers' wish lists.These aren't unknown destinations. Because, let's face it, there are very few truly undiscovered places. Instead I'd describe them as places that often get overshadowed by more famous neighbors.From wild Irish coastlines and peaceful English countryside to mountain landscapes in Slovenia, Scotland, Austria, and Italy, these destinations offer a variety of experiences. Along the way, you'll find charming villages, fascinating history, outstanding food and wine, and plenty of opportunities to spend time outdoors. All are places I believe deserve more attention from curious travelers.Some are easy additions to a European itinerary, while others require a bit more patience and a sense of adventure. And of course, all of them are places I've personally visited and would (and have) happily return to.Join me as I share why places like the Yorkshire Dales, Lake Bohinj, the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, Piedmont, the Hochkönig region, and the Mani Peninsula deserve more attention from travelers looking to venture beyond Europe's usual stops.Whether you're actively planning a trip or simply dreaming about future travels, I hope this episode inspires you to discover a few destinations in Europe that deserve more love.Want to chat more about these destinations or this topic?Email me at Lynne@WanderYourWay.com.In this episode:2:45: Intro6:18: County Donegal, Ireland10:30: Normandy, France14:28: Yorkshire Dales, England19:19: Lake Bohinj, Slovenia23:09: Ardnamurchan, Scotland30:17: Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland37:22: Scottish Borders41:08: Isle of Mull, Scotland46:37: Piedmont, Italy51:20: Val di Fassa, Italy54:28: Hochkönig region, Austria58:05: Mani Peninsula, Greece1:03:04: Recap1:03:54: Wrapping it upImportant links:County Donegal • IrelandExploring Beautiful Normandy, France: Going Beyond the D-Day BeachesAmazing Things To Do in the Yorkshire Dales EnglandLake Bohinj • SloveniaDumfries & Galloway • ScotlandExploring the Scottish BordersIsle of Mull • ScotlandPiedmont • Italy6 Reasons to Visit the Beautiful Val di Fassa ItalyDiscovering the Stunning and Beautiful Hochkönig Region of AustriaStoupa • GreeceWander Your WayWander Your Way AdventuresWander Your Way ResourcesNord VPN ★ Support this podcast ★

Starting today, we begin a county-by-county journey across Ireland, exploring all 32 counties that make up this remarkable island. Have you been to some of these places and hidden gems?Today, Andrea is joined by Travel Content Creator Kevin Penrose to find out what the best things to see and do are in County Antrim.

Send us Fan MailIndianapolis has secrets hiding in plain sight, and some of them involve thousands of hungry squirrels. Host Angela Tuell sits down with Indianapolis writer, editor and author Ashley Petry to unpack how she turns local history, culture, and curiosity into stories that make people see the Circle City with fresh eyes.Ashley shares how a lifelong love of writing and a deep background in travel writing led her back home, where she realized Indianapolis needed smarter, more vivid guides. We talk about the “hedgehog concept” and why choosing a niche can be the difference between scattered freelance work and a focused body of work. Along the way, Ashley explains how she finds the gems: reading the dusty history books until something weird and wonderful jumps off the page, then pairing that research with present-day listening, from neighborhood buzz to trusted PR relationships.We also dig into her books, including 100 Things to Do in Indianapolis Before You Die, Secret Indianapolis and her new release, Remarkable Women of Indianapolis. Ashley tells us why the absence of a women's history book pushed her to write one, and highlights the kind of overlooked impact story that stuck with her, like educator Eliza Blaker's network of free kindergartens. For PR pros and communications folks, Ashley gives direct, practical advice on what makes a pitch stand out, what mistakes to avoid with media databases, and why a two-way relationship matters more than volume.If you love Indianapolis travel, Midwest culture, local history or better PR pitching, you'll leave with story ideas, weekend recommendations and a new reason to pay attention to what's happening locally.

Laia joked.Ca: Però Martí només somreia, convençut que aquesta vegada era diferent.En: But Martí just smiled, convinced that this time was different.Ca: Al diari, hi havia un missatge ocult entre les línies, una clau que prometia aventura i misteri.En: In the diary, there was a hidden message between the lines, a key that promised adventure and mystery.Ca: "És Feria de Abril," va assenyalar Laia, mentre passaven pels mercats plens de colors i sons.En: "It's Feria de Abril," Laia pointed out, as they walked through the markets full of colors and sounds.Ca: El barri estava ple de música, balls flamencs i l'aroma seductor de les tapes.En: The neighborhood was full of music, flamenco dancing, and the alluring aroma of tapas.Ca: Martí sabia que no hi havia gaire temps; el missatge era específic sobre algun esdeveniment durant aquesta festa.En: Martí knew there wasn't much time; the message was specific about some event during this festival.Ca: Aquella tarda, Núria es va unir a ells al Café Gòtic, a prop de la catedral.En: That afternoon, Núria joined them at Café Gòtic, near the cathedral.Ca: Li encantava ajudar a desxifrar enigmes i estava emocionada amb l'aventura.En: She loved helping to decipher enigmas and was excited about the adventure.Ca: "Mireu aquí," va dir Núria, assenyalant una paraula especialment desgastada al diari.En: "Look here," Núria said, pointing to a particularly worn word in the diary.Ca: La pista duia a una estàtua al cor del barri.En: The clue led to a statue in the heart of the neighborhood.Ca: Amb presses, Martí i Núria es dirigiren cap allà, mentre la música i el bullici del mercat omplien l'aire.En: In a hurry, Martí and Núria headed there while the music and bustle of the market filled the air.Ca: A l'estàtua, després d'examinar-la pacientment, van trobar una petita obertura al pedestal.En: At the statue, after examining it patiently, they found a small opening in the pedestal.Ca: D'allí, van treure un rotllo antic, embolicat amb cura.En: From there, they took out an ancient scroll, carefully wrapped.Ca: Quan Martí el va desplegar, no hi havia or ni gemmes.En: When Martí unrolled it, there was no gold or gems.Ca: En canvi, hi havia documents valuosos que revelaven històries oblidades de la ciutat.En: Instead, there were valuable documents that revealed forgotten stories of the city.Ca: Relats de vides passades, de resistència i d'esperança en temps difícils.En: Tales of past lives, of resistance and hope in difficult times.Ca: Martí va somriure, comprenent que el veritable tresor era aquest valuós llegat històric.En: Martí smiled, understanding that the true treasure was this valuable historical legacy.Ca: Laia, observant el rostre satisfet de Martí, va dir: "Potser no hi ha or, però has trobat alguna cosa encara més important."En: Laia, observing Martí's satisfied face, said, "There might not be gold, but you've found something even more important."Ca: I tots van coincidir que la descoberta d'avui havia enriquit el seu amor per Barcelona i la seva història.En: And they all agreed that today's discovery had enriched their love for Barcelona and its history.Ca: Mentrestant, la música de la Feria de Abril continuava, celebrant no només una festa, sinó també els tresors amagats que una ciutat pot oferir.En: Meanwhile, the music of the Feria de Abril continued, celebrating not just a festival, but also the hidden treasures a city can offer.Ca: Martí va aprendre que, de vegades, preservar la història pot ser més gratificant que qualsevol altre tresor material.En: Martí learned that sometimes preserving history can be more rewarding than any other material treasure.

For our Remake on Trial we ask if there was any reason to do an updated version of King Kong with Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange. For our Parole Board we ask if a remake would fix the many problems with the "comedy" Won Ton Ton The Dog Who Saved Hollywood. The previous two parts of the issue are already out: Double Reel Monthly and Classics & Hidden Gems. Next week we'll bring you a special Spotlight episode.  Check out Alan's author page here: Alan Bayles Author And check out reviews of films on physical media on YouTube: Maximum Disc

Hochan (CJ) Jang is the co-founder of Balance Pan-Asian Grille.What began for CJ as an effort to build a healthier, more creative, and more everyday kind of Asian fast casual concept more than 16 years ago has grown into a beloved regional brand with locations across Toledo and Cleveland — one defined by scratch-made food, bold flavors, affordability, and a real commitment to hospitality.In our conversation, CJ and I explore his journey from growing up in his mother's restaurant after immigrating from South Korea, to discovering the potential of fast casual, to building Balance with little more than conviction, credit cards, and a willingness to learn everything the hard way. We talk about how the business found its footing, why location and customer feedback were so pivotal early on, how he thinks about quality, pricing, and menu innovation today, and what it takes to scale a restaurant brand without losing the culture and standards that made it special in the first place. I very much enjoyed this conversation, and I think you'll hear in CJ both a deep humility and a real love for the craft — I hope you enjoy it as well.00:00 Introduction & Entrepreneurial Roots00:26 Welcome & Background03:00 Early Relationship with Food06:19 From Food to Entrepreneurship12:09 Inspiration from Fast Casual Concepts13:36 Challenges of Ethnic Fast Casual16:20 Launching Balance Pan Asian Grill19:40 Opening the First Location22:58 Importance of Location & Customer Feedback27:53 Balance's Identity & Values31:07 Navigating Pricing & Affordability35:41 Scaling & Building Culture40:11 Vision for the Future44:57 Hard-Earned Lessons49:02 The Role of Upbringing & Community51:47 Closing & Hidden Gem in Cleveland-----LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/hochan-j-88513510a/https://www.linkedin.com/posts/balancegrille_2-first-generation-entrepreneurs-are-redefining-activity-7351709996880998400-LM0l/https://balancegrille.com/the-balance-grille-leadership-advantage/https://balancegrille.com/story/-----SPONSOR:Cerity PartnersCerity Partners, a full-service investment and wealth management firm serving high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and business owners, is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Secrets of Buda Castle: Unveiling Hidden Historical Treasures Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-06-01-07-38-19-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Buda Várnegyedének macskaköves utcáin, ahol a történelem visszhangzik az ősi falak között, egy tavaszi napon Lajos figyelő tekintete a Duna csillogásába mélyed.En: On the cobblestone streets of the Buda Várnegyed, where history echoes among the ancient walls, on a spring day, Lajos directs his observant gaze into the shimmering Danube.Hu: Lajos a Buda Vár történész szakértője, azonban gyakran elfelejti a csodálatot, amit jelent.En: Lajos is an expert historian of Buda Castle, but often forgets the wonder it represents.Hu: Munkája néha rutinná válik, s ő, bár lelkes, kissé cinikus.En: His work sometimes becomes routine, and although he is enthusiastic, he is somewhat cynical.Hu: Pünkösd van, és a vár izgalommal teli turisták zsongásától pezseg.En: It's Pentecost, and the castle buzzes with the excitement of tourists.Hu: Emese, a kíváncsi turista, szívesen sétál a vár hegyes útjain.En: Emese, a curious tourist, gladly walks the steep paths of the castle.Hu: Ahogy közelebb ér a Lánchídhoz, észrevesz valamit a patak közelében.En: As she gets closer to the Chain Bridge, she notices something near the creek.Hu: Egy üveg, benne rejtélyes üzenettel.En: A bottle, with a mysterious message inside.Hu: Sejtelmesen mosolyogva Emese elhatározza, hogy megkeresi Lajost, akiről tudja, hogy a történelem elkötelezett híve.En: Smiling mysteriously, Emese decides to find Lajos, knowing he is a dedicated history enthusiast.Hu: Lajos, miután elolvassa a titokzatos sorokat az üzeneten, rögtön belemerül a tartalmába.En: After reading the mysterious lines on the message, Lajos immediately delves into its content.Hu: Azonban szokatlanul titokzatos, és kollégái egyáltalán nem biztosak abban, hogy az ügy érdemes a figyelemre.En: However, it is unusually mysterious, and his colleagues are not convinced that the matter is worthy of attention.Hu: Lajosnak azonban megfordul a fejében, hogy segítséget kérjen Emesétől, akinek fiatalos kíváncsisága lendülettel tölti el.En: Nonetheless, Lajos considers asking for Emese's help, whose youthful curiosity energizes him.Hu: Ekkor meglátogatják Zoltánt, a helyi művészt, aki különösségével és a régi palackok ismeretével segíthet dekódolni a rejtélyt.En: Then they visit Zoltán, a local artist whose peculiarity and knowledge of old bottles may help decode the mystery.Hu: Zoltán, vidám természetével és különleges ismereteivel azonnal belelkesül.En: With his cheerful nature and special knowledge, Zoltán quickly becomes enthusiastic.Hu: Hármuk együttese, szelídítő sétái és élénk beszélgetései, végül elvezetik őket a vár egyik rejtett alagútjához.En: The trio's gentle walks and lively conversations eventually lead them to a hidden tunnel in the castle.Hu: Az üzenet valami rejtett szekcióra utal.En: The message points to some hidden section.Hu: Egy rég elfeledett szobára, amely történelmi gazdagságot rejt.En: A long-forgotten room that holds historical wealth.Hu: Összefogásuk végül egy óriási felfedezéshez vezet.En: Their collaboration ultimately leads to a tremendous discovery.Hu: A kőfal mögött egy titkos helyiségben egy sor elfeledett műalkotást tárnak fel.En: Behind a stone wall, in a secret chamber, they uncover a series of forgotten artworks.Hu: Az alkotások új megvilágításba helyezik a vár történetét, és rejtett dimenziókat adnak hozzá.En: These artworks cast new light on the history of the castle, adding hidden dimensions to it.Hu: Lajos, aki kezdetben önmaga megoldásait preferálta, most felismeri a csapatmunka erejét és a közös felfedezés örömét.En: Lajos, who initially preferred solving things on his own, now realizes the power of teamwork and the joy of shared discovery.Hu: Az új élmények hatására Lajos már nem csak mint történész végzi a munkáját, hanem mint azoknak a tapasztalatoknak lelkes keresője, amelyek új színt visznek a Buda Vár történetébe.En: As a result of the new experiences, Lajos no longer simply works as a historian but as an enthusiastic seeker of those experiences that bring new color to the history of Buda Castle.Hu: A nap lenyugszik a Dunán, a vár pedig soha meg nem szűnő szívverésével emlékezetessé teszi a pünkösdi tavaszt.En: The sun sets over the Danube, and the castle, with its ever-persistent heartbeat, makes the Pentecostal spring memorable.

Uncovering Women Miners' Forgotten Legacy in the ‘Swiss Alps' of Sequoia National Park  Mineral King is located in the southern part of Sequoia National Park but its remote location means it gets fewer visitors than other parts of the park. So the campers and backpackers that make the trek are rewarded with a spectacular mountain range with rushing waterfalls. There are only a handful of buildings here, including some historic wooden cabins that belong to a few families who've been here long before this was a national park. One of those cabins belongs to Laile Di Silvestro's family. Her connection to Mineral King goes back to the 1870s. Today, she's an archeologist, and she's looking for the stories she didn't hear growing up. In 2024, as part of our Hidden Gems series, host Sasha Khokha hiked Mineral King with Di Silvestro to learn about some surprising trail blazers in the California Gold Rush, and the discrimination some people faced during those boom times. The World's Largest Bishop Pine Forest Is in Point Reyes California is home to a lot of iconic trees, including giant sequoias, windswept Monterey cypresses, and Joshua trees. The bishop pine doesn't have that kind of celebrity status. But if you live on the Point Reyes Peninsula in west Marin County you're all too familiar with it. These indigenous trees are so well-suited to growing here, that to locals they're notorious pests, not because of how easily they grow, but because of how they die. In 2024, reporter Lusen Mendel took us to Tomales Bay State Park to meet someone who's made it his mission to deal with the pesky and strangely loveable pines. Welcome to Rough and Ready, the Tiny Town That Used to Be a Republic We head to the Nevada County town of Rough and Ready, about 5 miles west of Grass Valley.  In 1850, it seceded from the nation and temporarily became its own republic. In 2017, KQED's Bianca Taylor spoke to a proud resident of Rough and Ready to learn more about the town's history, and how it got its name. Learn more about your ad choices.
