I've been creating this podcast weekly since 2018. I'm on my way to helping more than 100,000 women travel solo. Are you one of us? https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com FAQ: You asked? Where am I traveling this summer? Here is your FAQ response: I start in Colombia, then Ecuador for Galapagos, then Peru for Machu Pichu, and then Brazil for some beach life in Salvador and near Rio. I will finish in Argentina's Iguazu Falls, then return to Sao Paulo for my Cape Town, South Africa flight. I'll be there for several days and depart from Johannesburg to Athens, Greece. After being there for a week, I'll explore other parts of Europe, including Poland and Scandinavia. I'll be there for a while, and then across to travel in Canada, hopefully Halifax and PEI, before I go home 90 days later via Toronto. That's the plan for the summer trip. I'll be staying with families via Servas (World Peace) and at lower-budget hotels. I'll book local activities where I can. I'll have a small footprint and carry a pack that weighs less than 15 lbs.  Lessons learned from my 90-day trip in 2023 Most of them were about the wrong direction or the wrong destination. This time, I know that I may make similar mistakes, but I hope to make fewer of them. I have a hard time with remembering which way I came in, such as a hotel room. I need to be more aware of the physical presence, and take notes in my brain about them. Today's Travel Advice- I'm planning the trip daily now, and most of my decisions can be made from Europe. However, if I want to get a Eurail pass, I should do so before I leave the USA.  https://www.eurail.com/en/eurail-passes/deals/eurail-pass-discounts/eurail-senior-discounts   I am concerned about how the world sees the USA these days. I will never be alone. I'll always have God with me. I'll be praying every minute, as best I can.

Hear about travel to Paraguay as the Amateur Traveler talks to Alex from AdventureToEveryCountry.com about this lesser-visited country that he has come to love. Why should you visit Paraguay? Alex says, "So Paraguay is more about the culture than anything else. It's not a country that you come to for bucket list tourist attractions. That's something where you might go to neighboring Brazil for Rio or Iguazu Falls on the border with Argentina. Paraguay is much more low-key. It's more about authentic culture, getting to know the locals, and getting off the tourist trail." Alex recommends several attractions and experiences for visitors to Paraguay, focusing on its unique cultural, historical, and natural offerings: Asunción (Capital City) Palacio de los López: The President's Palace, an iconic colonial-style building. Pantheon of Heroes: A mausoleum and site of national pride where past heroes are honored. Casa de la Independencia: A free museum showcasing Paraguay's peaceful independence history. Centro Cultural Manzana de la Rivera: A cultural center highlighting traditional Paraguayan music and arts. Costanera: A riverside promenade with views of the Paraguay River and the city. Paulista Grill: A Brazilian-style steakhouse serving exceptional meat and a variety of other dishes. Negroni Sky Bar: An upmarket bar offering panoramic views of the Paraguay River. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-paraguay/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

INCA (formerly Inca Floats, Inc.) began in the 70s as a family adventure when Bill Roberson, a scientist and professor, and his two daughters, Kim and Marika, traveled to Peru and the Galapagos Islands. They had such an adventurous, entertaining, and educational time that they couldn't wait to share it with their friends. And so a company was born. Bill tells us about an expedition through South America before founding INCA that inspired and motivated him to start a travel company focused on the region.

Steven Sharp Nelson is the only cellist in history to play atop the Great Wall of China, among the Chichen Itza ruins in Mexico, in front of The Christ Redeemer Statue in Rio, at the Petra sandstone city in Jordan, near the Iguazu Falls in Brazil and Argentina, on the grounds of the most iconic castle (Eilean Donan) in Scotland and, best of all, on the Death Star!  He has written hundreds of compositions, including two full length symphonies, and sings, plays the piano, the drums, guitar, the bass, the mandolin, the ukulele, and the nose flute. Steven is considered a pioneer in a style he coined, called “cello percussion.” Steven feels grateful that he's just barely famous enough to make a living, but plenty obscure enough to have a life. And that life, he has found, is best lived when striving to follow the teachings and example of his Best Friend and Savior, Jesus Christ.Steven's duet with his wife https://www.godtube.com/watch/?v=1000EMNUWebsite https://thepianoguys.comYouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@thepianoguysInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/stevensharpnelsonFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/StevenSharpNelsonMusicDeseret Bookhttps://deseretbook.com/t/author/steven-sharp-nelson

Today we're visiting a country passionate about music, food, and enjoying life. While those passions are shared across the country, otherwise it is extremely diverse. The landscapes range from tropical beaches, to rainforest, to waterfalls, and more. The cities are huge and vibrant. The people are from cultural backgrounds as different as Japanese and African.  Joining me to chat all things Brazil are three experts in the region. Joe Sandillo, our partner in Brazil; Fabio Delantonia, a chef and expert in the culinary history of Brazil; and Micael Amarancci a passionate musician, cultural expert, and law and politics scholar.  The four of us chat about everything from the slave roots of Brazilian music, to understanding the history of the country through food, to the under-appreciated areas of Brazil that we think you should visit.  Learn more at www.luxtravelinsider.com   Connect with me on Social: Instagram LinkedIn

Website for this episode: ordinarysherpa.com/098 Register for the FREE Travel Rewards for Families Live Q & A: Ordinarysherpa.com/LIVE At one time, our guest worked in healthcare, but was (not so secretly) addicted to travel. He's been to over 100 countries and seven continents. What sets him apart from many of the travelers I know is his approach; his uncanny way to make you laugh and be completely envious of him experiencing incredible locations with his kids.  While many parents like taking breaks from their kids and heading overseas without them. Their family is not like that. Starting at age four, each of his kids got to pick any destination in the world every year for a one-on-one trip, and his kids weren't shy about picking crazy destinations – trips have included Australia (ages 4 and 6), Hong Kong (5), Belize (4), Easter Island (6), Iguazu Falls (6), Bali (9 and 10), Japan (7 and 8), the Maldives (9), and Antarctica (8) and that was just when they were ages 4-8.  In 2012 he was lucky enough to win Conde Nast Traveler Magazine's Photo of the Year contest out of 21,000+ entrants. The magazine planned an amazing two weeks in Florence for them. The first two days there three different people called him Babbo – Italian for Dad or Daddy. The kids started using it and it stuck – they haven't called him Dad since they returned from that trip. The funny thing is that Babbo only means Dad in certain parts of Italy. In other areas it means Idiot. Today I am excited to have a conversation with the Family Travel influencer who literally has the registered trademark to Take Your Kids Everywhere, Eric Stoen of Travel Babbo, Welcome to Ordinary Sherpa.   Follow or Connect with Eric at: Website: https://travelbabbo.com/ Instagram: @travelbabbo  Key Takeaways Eric will go wherever the kids want to go or return to.  There are many things that make a location returnable, it's whatever speaks to our hearts.  For us we visit Italy specifically Florence and Tuscany or the Greek Isle of Naxos.  So much so that locals know our names in several of the locations.  Let the kids have a stake in planning.  Look for kid-friendly tours.  They are simplified and the content is perfect for parents too.   Parent first, then traveler, then a photographer and travel writer.  He didn't want travel to become not fun for the kids ot getting paid to do things that weren't kid-friendly. I'm not afraid to show my kids faces, but seeing those accounts didn't inspire me.  Most times I shared photos of my kids often walking away because that's naturally where I was and they weren't interested in posing. Even if a place looks cool online doesn't mean it's a great kid-friendly place. Capture what's authentic and find the details that speak to you.  Eric is not willing to disrupt their vacation for work.  his followers deserve better and he wanted to maintain an organic nature of photography - not sponsored, posed photos.  He set a boundary that he didn't accept free travel.  He wasn't going to travel without his family unless he was getting paid. Networking is everything and meeting people in person is a game changer.  Travel writers and adventure brands are fun to be around.  Go to events and meet people face-to-face.  For Eric, while he was new and uncomfortable at ITB Berlin, Geeking out with new destinations was a trip and he often meets people that he'd like to hang out and travel with.  What's your intro? Have 20 seconds that describes why are you unique? Why would someone work with you? What is your attitude on travel? What is your perspective on ___? Your intro is what makes you memorable.  Travel is cumulative.  Explore with your kids as early as you can because good things will come of it.   Resources referenced during this episode:Start Here: https://travelbabbo.com/start-here/ Month by Month Guide to the Best Vacations with Kids: https://travelbabbo.com/best-vacations-for-kids/

The 20-day test was conducted in partnership with GoodFuels, a leading producer and supplier of sustainable biofuels for the transportation industry, and Wärtsilä, a global leader in power and propulsion technologies and lifecycle solutions for the marine market.The assessment was completed September 7. In the first five days of the test the ship used a mix of 30% biofuel and 70% marine gas oil (MGO) in one of its main auxiliary engines. For the final 15 days of testing, the ship used 100% biofuel. According to GoodFuels, there was a 78% decrease in lifecycle CO2 emissions during the final 15 days of trial compared to marine gas oil emissions.Dutch-flagged Volendam was selected for the test since it was located at the Port of Rotterdam, one of the global ports where GoodFuels operates the infrastructure necessary to provide biofuel waterside fueling services. There is no significant difference for the ship's team members in handling regular fuel oil versus biofuel. The use of a “drop-in” biofuel such as the one tested on Volendam requires no shipboard refitting or special equipment.What Are Biofuels?The advanced biofuel is derived from feedstocks that are certified as 100% waste or residue, with no land-use issues and no competition with food production or deforestation.Holland America Line's 2024 Grand Australia and New Zealand Voyage Returns After a DecadeHolland America Line is continuing to bolster its longer voyages departing from a North America homeport, and the 2024 Grand Australia and New Zealand Voyage is the newest addition.

In Nationalizing Nature: Iguazu Falls and National Parks at the Brazil-Argentina Border (Cambridge UP, 2021), Frederico Freitas uncovers the crucial role played by conservation in the region's territorial development by exploring how Brazil and Argentina used national parks to nationalize borderlands. In the 1930s, Brazil and Argentina created some of their first national parks around the massive Iguazu Falls, shared by the two countries. The parks were designed as tools to attract migrants from their densely populated Atlantic seaboards to a sparsely inhabited borderland. In the 1970s, a change in paradigm led the military regimes in Brazil and Argentina to violently evict settlers from their national parks, highlighting the complicated relationship between authoritarianism and conservation in the Southern Cone. By tracking almost one hundred years of national park history in Latin America's largest countries, Nationalizing Nature shows how conservation policy promoted national programs of frontier development and border control. The book received an honorable mention in the Bryce Wood Book Award (Latin American Studies Association) as an outstanding book on Latin America in the social sciences and humanities published in English, and an honorable mention in the Sérgio Buarque de Holanda Prize (Latin American Studies Association's Brazil Section) for the best book in the social sciences on Brazil.

Agartha is a legendary kingdom claimed to exist in the Earth's core and is related to the “Hollow Earth theory”. - There are many accounts of the legend of Agartha throughout history. It has been noted by explorers, occultists, psychic communication, visitors from the inner Earth, Hitler/Third Reich, a German U-boat commander, ancient beliefs from India, people channeling superconscious knowledge, and Admiral Bird. - The inhabitants of Agartha are said to have scientific knowledge and expertise far beyond that of the people who live on the surface of the planet. - Apparently, some people have constructed maps and identified passageways to Agartha. Some of these alleged passageways include Antarctica, Mt. Epomeo, the Pyramid of Giza, the Dero Caves, the North and South Poles, Matto Grosso, Iguazu Falls, and the Kentucky Mammoth Cave. - What say you?

Garon Piceli from southwestern Brazil presents the Iguazú waterfalls to Check-in viewers. This week's 'Meet a Local' takes us to Foz do Iguaçu!

This is a collection of fairytales and fables from around the world. In this episode we learned about a legend formed around the Iguazu Falls in Brazil and a grateful crane that used her own feathers to weave beautiful blankets.

"Seriously," I thought, "It's a waterfall. Is it really going to be worth the effort to go see a waterfall?" Let me tell you, I was not expecting to be so impressed by a ''mere waterfall.' At every turn, every viewing platform, I was just blown away by the beauty of this natural wonder, amazing Iguazu Falls.

Kathryn Lane's Nikki Garcia international thrillers are a great way to enjoy armchair travel if you can't get on an aeroplane right now. Her latest book, Revenge in Barcelona, number three in the series, provides the perfect escape for people with itchy feet. Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and in today's Binge Reading podcast Kathryn talks about how her previous career as an international fraud investigator inspired her Nikki character, and why her creation is a lot more courageous – or maybe foolhardy – than she is. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: How some famous waterfalls prompted inspirationHow Nikki Garcia is different from her creatorKathryn's passion for BarcelonaA life-changing time on Australian cattle stationThe writers she admires mostWhat she'd do differently second time around Where to find Kathryn Lane:  Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Kathryn-Lane/e/B01D0J1YES Website: https://www.Kathryn-Lane.com Bookbub: https://www.bookbub.com/authors/kathryn-lane Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/15096935.Kathryn_Lane Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kathrynlanewriter Email: kathrynlaneauthor@gmail.com What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny Wheeler: Now, here's Kathryn. Hello there Kathryn and welcome to the show. It's so good to have you with us. Kathryn Lane: It's great to be with you. Introducing Kathryn Lane author Jenny Wheeler: Just a little geographical introduction. I'm sitting at my desk here in Auckland, New Zealand, and you are in the mountains of New Mexico. Kathryn Lane: That is correct. Jenny Wheeler: That's fantastic. It's wonderful isn't it? Kathryn Lane: It is absolutely wonderful. Jenny Wheeler: Beginning at the beginning, was there a Once Upon a Time moment when you decided you wanted to write fiction and if so, was there a catalyst for it? Kathryn Lane thriller author Kathryn Lane: Let me say Jenny, that there were two catalysts. One was when I was still in my corporate job and I had been in Argentina for about six weeks and I took a weekend to go up to Iguazu Falls, which is on the border between Argentina and Brazil. I had a fabulous weekend and the location is unbelievably beautiful. As the plane was taking off on Sunday afternoon, I looked down at the Falls and thought 'I have got to write a novel and put this location as a setting for the novel.' I might confess I haven't done that novel yet, but that was the first catalyst. Then let's fast forward a few years. I took my early retirement from my corporate job and I was talking to a friend about the fact that here I've been retired for almost a year and a half and I still have not even started writing. She said, what's stopping you? That question put me into action. I went home and enrolled in a creative writing course. Finding the courage to start Why did I do that instead of writing a novel right away? Because I didn't have any training to be a writer. About the only training I'd had was traveling to a lot of countries around the world and having all sorts of interesting experiences, but so far as actually writing, I didn't know how to do it. So I decided that I would take a couple of classes and the very first short story I ever wrote was published. That really helped me along. It really helped my confidence. Jenny Wheeler: It gave you validation. Kathryn Lane: Yes, absolutely. Jenny Wheeler: A lot of writers say that one of the best ways to understand how to be a writer is to already be a good reader. I imagine you probably were a reader, weren't you? Kathryn Lane: That's very true. Jenny Wheeler: You've got three books published now in this thriller series, the Nikki Garcia Thriller series, and funnily enough they feature a former fraud investigator – someone who's doing a job rather similar to th...

And so, as all good things must, the trip comes to an end. We get back into Buenos Aires in time to enjoy a big night out and a gig. We then take a flight to spend a couple of days at Iguazu Falls, before heading back down to Buenos Aires for the last few days before heading home. What a truly amazing and unforgettable trip it had been, and I hope you've enjoyed it as I've relived it over the past few months. It's been a pleasure having you with me.

Date Recorded: 6 April 2019 Location: Parque das Aves, Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil On our trip to Iguazu Falls, we spent some time in Brazil. There is a delightful bird park near the National Park entrance to the Brazil side of the falls called Parque das Aves. While walking through the park, we stopped to eat at their snack bar and there was a family of four, singing and playing music. I placed my phone nearby and hit record. The group looked to be indigenous (or at least representing indigenous dress and music). Title translation: The Bird Park Song

Sean, welcome to the show! Sean: Thanks for inviting me, man. I'm excited to be here. Daniel: I’m very happy to have you, Sean. Would you, please, take a few minutes and tell us a little bit more about you, share a little of your story if you could? Sean: Yeah. So, I had the most average American middle-class upbringing imaginable. You kind of always knew what was next, you always kind of followed the path of least resistance a little bit. Like, when I was in sixth grade, I knew that I was going to go to Oregon State University, I was going to study finance, I was going to live in the dorms with my best friend, which is what ended up happening. Six months before I graduated college, I had a job lined up in Portland Oregon, working as a financial analyst, so it was always just kind of like the path of least resistance. You just kind of followed what was next in the plan, and it was very much kind of American dream. 2.5 kids, white picket fence, like that was the path that things were going down. And unfortunately, I graduated in July of 2007, so obviously, most of us remember that was the peak of the market, that was a terrible time to get into the financial world. And so by February of 2009, the market had completely crashed, the company that I was working for, they weren't doing very well, their clients weren't doing very well, my boss was unhappy, I was unhappy. So what I ended up doing was, I had saved up all of my vacation time for that year, to take a two and a half week trip down to Rio with one of my best friends. And so we went down there, had the absolute time in our lives. We went to Iguazu Falls, one of the seven natural wonders in the world, we went hang gliding over Rio, we danced in the carnival parade. And there's like 8-foot tall ridiculous costumes. And basically, it was kind of on that trip I realized that I should be able to do stuff like this whenever I wanted. I was going to go back to a job in Portland with miserable weather, have no vacation days left, and I wasn't getting closer to either of the two goals I had set for myself when I graduated college, which were to travel the world and to own my own business. To make matters worse, the day I got back from that trip, my boss told me that he was giving me a 20% pay cut and if the whole company was taking a 20% pay cut because of the financial situation, so that kind of was the impetus to make a change. And a couple months later, I started Location Rebel as a way to hold myself accountable to do all the things that I wanted to do in life, and that kind of set the scene for everything that's happened over the last eight years. Daniel: Wow, that's amazing, Sean. And that's awesome actually, you came back, and probably what somebody will think that is the worst news ever, that your salary is cut like 25%. Sean: Yes, 20%. Daniel: Imagine that you come back from the trip after spending I guess a lot of money on your trip, and then you come back and you have a pay cut.
