Podcasts about intentionally wandering

Amanda is always looking for great reasons to persuade others to travel more and Episode 40 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast provides quite a few of those. Amanda chats with three guests who each have had interesting experiences teaching them something important on their travels Jeff Ryan, who in previous episodes has taught us the dangers of porcupines eating the rubber parts of your car, returns to chat about how travel can teach us a much more open mindset. Following Jeff, Amanda chats with Chris Christensen who has already learnt that anything bad that happens on your travels is just a good story and not worth otherwise remembering, and he shares a great story about having trouble finding room at the inn when his children were young. Finally, Amanda gets very philosophical with Jeff Sandquist who went on a road trip and figured out some enormous changes he needed to make to his life.

 Discovering new cultural norms and comparing them to our own is one of the most fascinating parts of travel and the three guests on Episode 18 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast have all given this issue a great deal of thought as well. First up, Annalicia Lynn describes the cultural confusion she felt when she first moved to Taiwan to speak English. The assumptions she made about the culture based on her own experiences back in the States led her to some uncomfortable moments in her early days in Taiwan. Jeff Sandquist talks about cultural fusion and his experience of Scandinavian heritage as he grew up with in Minnesota, and what he found when he visited Norway and saw Scandinavian culture up close. In another case of cultural confusion, Glenn Shiell describes the issues facing the Japanese ski resort of Niseko with the growing numbers of Australians coming to ski during the Australian summer - and what happens when these Aussies don’t necessarily show quite enough cultural sensitivity. Links:  Annalicia Lynn of Yoga and Pilates Online - http://yogaandpilatesonline.com Jeff at Intentionally Wandering - http://www.intentionallywandering.com Jeff’s Intentionally Wandering podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/intentionally-wandering/id1002563000?mt=2 Glenn Shiell of Snowriders Western Australia https://snowriderswa.com Snowriders WA Facebook community at https://www.facebook.com/snowriderswa/ 8 tips to avoid being a bogan in Japan this winter - https://snowriderswa.com/2016/05/04/tset-2/ Should experienced travellers go to Bali? - http://www.notaballerina.com/2015/02/should-experienced-travellers-go-to-bali.html Tweet me @amandakendle Hashtag #thoughtfultravelpod Chat on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/NotABallerina Show notes at https://notaballerina.com/18

Gaining confidence from your travels is just one more great reason to get out there and travel often. In Episode 15 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast Amanda talks to three guests who all agree that travelling has increased their confidence substantially and helped them out in all kinds of ways, including life beyond travel. First up, Amanda chats with Jeff Sandquist of Intentionally Wandering, who only started travelling relatively recently and learnt so much from it - travelling gave him a brand new kind of confidence. After that she speaks with Annalicia Lynn who spent a year living and working in Taiwan and was particularly able to notice how much her confidence had grown when her family came to visit. Amanda's final guest is Candace Rardon, and when they spoke, Candace was spending a couple of months in Norway writing a book about a trip she took to India, which was the kind of trip which pushed her far outside her comfort zone and therefore boosted her confidence significantly. Links:  Jeff at Intentionally Wandering - http://www.intentionallywandering.com Jeff’s Intentionally Wandering podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/intentionally-wandering/id1002563000?mt=2 Annalicia Lynn of Yoga and Pilates Online -http://yogaandpilatesonline.com Candace Rose Rardon at The Great Affair - http://www.candaceroserardon.com Candace’s book: Beneath the Lantern’s Glow - http://bit.ly/LanternsGlow 10 refections on having family visit us abroad on My Meena Life - http://www.mymeenalife.com/reflections-family-visit-us-abroad/ The Slow Home Podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/slow-home-podcast-brooke-mcalary/id985005895?mt=2 Show notes at https://notaballerina.com/15  

Episode 7 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast is all about making unexpected friendships when you travel. Getting to know local people is one of my favourite parts of travelling, and my two guests have had some great experiences doing just that in various parts of the world. First up is Bethaney Davies from Flashpacker Family, who has two really interesting stories to tell about friendships she established with local people in Vietnam and Myanmar. Her tale of meeting the monk in Myanmar (who, yes, is on Facebook) is one of my favourite stories ever! My second guest is Jeff Sandquist of the Intentionally Wandering podcast. He tells of how his experiences couchsurfing on his solo road trip around the United States helped him make two new friends who he’s still in touch with. Links: Bethaney at Flashpacker Family http://flashpackerfamily.com Jeff at Intentionally Wandering http://www.intentionallywandering.com Jeff’s Intentionally Wandering podcast on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/intentionally-wandering/id1002563000?mt=2 Couchsurfing (try it yourself!) https://www.couchsurfing.com My story of meeting Mohammed in Egypt http://www.notaballerina.com/2012/05/two-egyptians-and-my-privilege-to.html Can you help me find my friend Yuko? http://www.notaballerina.com/2013/03/where-is-yuko-long-lost-japanese-friend.html Show notes at https://notaballerina.com/07 

Whether good or bad, facing surprises is usually part of travel. In Episode 6 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast I’m talking to two other travellers about the surprises they’ve encountered on their travels. First up is Candace Rardon, someone I was super-excited to interview and have known online for some years. Candace is a sketch artist, writer, photographer and all-round travel genius and a deep thinker on travel as well. She shares several stories of surprises she’s had when her expectations have been shattered on her travels - and how this always turns out for the best. Next I talk to Jeff Sandquist of the Intentionally Wandering podcast. He philosophically talks about how surprised he has been by the impact of travel on his life and how the lessons from travel have been drawn back into this everyday life at home, too. Links: Candace Rose Rardon at The Great Affair http://www.candaceroserardon.com Candace’s book on Amazon Beneath the Lantern's Glow: Sketches and Stories from Southeast Asia and Japan http://www.amazon.com/Beneath-Lanterns-Glow-Sketches-Southeast/dp/1490503641 Jeff Sandquist at Intentionally Wandering http://www.intentionallywandering.com Jeff’s Intentionally Wandering podcast on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/intentionally-wandering/id1002563000?mt=2 Camel race in Tunisia http://www.notaballerina.com/2011/12/dont-back-camel-in-tunisias-sahara.html Not finished with Iceland http://www.notaballerina.com/2015/10/why-im-not-finished-with-iceland-yet.html Show notes at https://notaballerina.com/06  

Welcome to Vibrant Potential.  I’m your host, Dr Chris Frykman.  Today’s guest is Dr Jeff Sandquist.  I like this dude.  He’s a chiropractor, a nutritional expert, and a self proclaimed multipotentialite.  This is a killer show for you if you’re constantly being drawn in another direction.  I’ve listed tons of resources for you on the the show notes for today’s show at www.drchrisfrykman.com/intentionallywandering.  Intentionally Wandering is the name of Jeff’s show too.  I love Intentionally wandering because Jeff gives us permission to not know.  I don’t know if that’s how Jeff would put it, but for me that’s a significant concept.  Jeff encourages us to be flexibly focused on life journey, not the destination.  He just released an episode on his show in which he interviews me.  You can find that at www.intentionallywandering.com/32.  My intention with this podcast is to help your achieve YOUR Vibrant Potential.  Around minute 45 of this podcast Jeff says that he’s said “no” to more things than he’s said “yes” to in the past year.  It’s in the context of simple living.  I really want to draw your attention to this concept because the more clear I get about what I’m choosing to be up to in this life, the more I can say no to invites, even if they are amazing invites, but if they aren’t congruent with what I’m up to, then it’s a no for right now.  Somewhere along the way, I decided it was important to be open minded.  I still believe that but more and more I find it important to temper that open mindedness with a construct from which to work from for your life.  If you want to create your life, you have to behave in a way that promotes that vision.  In last week’s episode, James Butler says we are the sum of all of our choices.  So true.  Do you know what you’re up to?  If you have an inkling that you have something great to give but you’re not quite sure what it is, I highly recommend having a conversation with James.  He graciously opened up 3 premium coaching sessions to the Vibrant Potential tribe and I genuinely hope you are one of the lucky 3 people that will take him up on that.  I recently did a session with him myself and I am on FIRE now.  I’m constantly redefining who I am and in my session with James I had a huge break through and I’m excited to share that with you soon.  For now, if you want to experience that for yourself, check out last week’s show notes at drchrisfrykman.com/peakobjectives and you can find James’ email.  Just shoot him an email with the subject line, “Vibrant Potential” and let him know you’d like to take him up on his free coaching session if he still has one open.  This episode is a great compliment to last weeks as there are a lot of concepts that overlap.  Today Jeff and I talk about creating yourself too.  So let’s just get to it.  Enjoy the show!  For more information on Drs Chris Frykman and Jeff Sandquist as well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.drchrisfrykman.com/intentionallywanderingFor more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com               Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                    Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
