Wandering Works for Us PodcastDate: 13 June 2026Day Trips beyond Lisbon, Part 2: Palácio do Bucaco, Grutas da Mira de Aire, Quinta do Cerejeiras, and Buddha Eden GardensSummary of EpisodeWe're back with another round of day trips from Lisbon — and this batch might be our favourites yet. In this episode, Shelley and Beth head into some of Portugal's most surprising corners: a fairy-tale palace lost in an ancient forest, the largest caves in the country (that almost nobody outside Portugal knows exist), and a vast sculpture garden full of Buddhas and terracotta warriors tucked between vineyards. Yes, really.If you loved our first Lisbon day trips episode, this one goes even deeper off the well-worn path.In This EpisodePalácio do Buçaco (~2.5 hours from Lisbon) A neo-Manueline palace inside a UNESCO-protected forest — the kind of place that genuinely feels like it shouldn't exist. We talk about the centuries-old forest (planted by monks, over 700 tree species), the extraordinary palace interior, and the shadow of King Carlos I, who was assassinated just a year after it was completed. We also get into the Battle of Buçaco from the Peninsular War and why the old convent on the grounds is worth seeking out. Our honest take: this one is better as an overnight or paired with Coimbra, just 30 minutes away.Grutas de Mira de Aire (~1.5 hours from Lisbon) The largest open caves in Portugal, discovered by accident in 1947 when a local farmer noticed steam rising from the ground on a cold morning. Formed during the Middle Jurassic era (yes, dinosaur times), the caves stretch 11 km but 600 metres are open to visitors. We walk you through what the guided tour is actually like, the app you can use if your tour is in Portuguese, and that final room with the fountain show — a little kitsch, absolutely wonderful. A car is needed if you are doing it yourselves, but you can get a tour through Get Your Guide from Lisbon, and it pairs beautifully with Fátima for a full central Portugal day.Buddha Eden & Quinta das Cerejeiras (~1 hour from Lisbon, near Bombarral) This one needs to be seen to be believed. Thirty-five hectares of Buddhist statues, Easter Island heads, and terracotta warriors set among vineyards in the Óbidos wine region — created by collector Joe Berardo as a response to the Taliban's destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas. We share what the experience is actually like, why you need comfortable shoes and more time than you think, and Beth tells the story of the train. We also cover Quinta das Cerejeiras nearby — the historic home of Abel Pereira da Fonseca — and how to actually get inside (hint: you need to call ahead).Key Topics[01:10] Palácio do Buçaco–Sorry about calling Luís I, Louis.

Travel Weekly cruise editor Teri West has been reporting on various developments in the industry, and many of them seem to have one thing in common: They’re taking place in the Bahamas. The country has invested in cruise port development and is courting ultra-luxury lines; meanwhile, the private island experience continues to expand and lines like Royal Caribbean International are putting its biggest cruise ships on short-cruise itineraries to the Bahamas from South Florida. This week West talks with Robert Sands, the director of cruise and maritime facilitation at the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation, about creative growth, priorities and some pretty big increases in visitor numbers. If you’re selling Caribbean cruises or are a fan of cruising, you'll want to listen in. This episode recorded May 29, 2026, and has been edited for length and clarity.

Summits between US and Chinese leaders are important events. They provide opportunities to discuss sensitive issues, manage friction, and to identify ways to solve problems and promote cooperation where possible. A great deal of preparation usually goes into a US-China summit, involving hundreds of phone calls, virtual, and in-person meetings between US and Chinese officials. The May 14-15 summit in Beijing was atypical, perhaps not surprisingly since Donald Trump is a very atypical president. Today we are going to talk about the summit – the process and well as the outcomes and the implications for the US-China relationship and American interests. Joining us today to talk about these issues is Sarah Beran. Sarah Beran was senior director for China and Taiwan affairs in the National Security Council during the Biden administration from 2022 to 2024. She was subsequently deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Beijing. At the NSC, she led strategic preparations for multiple summits between President Joe Biden and Xi Jinping. After her 23 years in government service, Sarah joined Macro Advisory Partners.

You will also learn how to say “This is my opinion“ in Slovak. At the end of this episode is my version of the legend about the prince called Vazul.Episode notesIn today's episode, I'm talking about what to do in Nitra if you have only one day for a visit. In the Slovak lesson, you are going to learn a few new words from my legend. You will also learn how to say “This is my opinion“ in Slovak. At the end of this episode is my version of the legend about the prince called Vazul.Slovak lesson1. patriť (to belong)2. silný nárok (strong claim)3. následník trónu (heir to the throne)4. presvedčiť (to persuade)5. prikázať (to command)6. zajať (to capture)7. uväzniť (to imprison)8. považovať (to consider)9. rozhodnut (to decide)10. zabezpečiť (to ensure)11. To je moj nazor. (This is my opinion.)LEGENDA O VAZULOVINiekde vo svete je svetadiel Európa. Niekde v tej Európe je krajina Uhorsko. A v tom Uhorsku, na hornej zemi v tom Uhorsku, žil urodzený šľachtic menom Vazul. Vazul patril k mocnej dynastii Arpádovcov, bol bratrancom kráľa Štefana I. a podľa vtedajších pravidiel mal silný nárok na uhorskú korunu. Keď zomrel syn Štefana I., Vazul sa zrazu stal následníkom trónu.Avšak kráľ Štefan, respektíve jeho manželka Gisela, mala iné plány. Namiesto Vazula chcela, aby po Štefanovi vládol jej synovec Peter Orseolo. A tak presvedčila svojho manžela, že Vazul je pre jeho kráľovstvo nebezpečný. Kráľ Štefan teda prikázal Vazulu zajať a uväzniť na Nitrianskom hrade. Spočiatku stačilo väznenie. Ale vždy tu existoval strach, že ak by Vazul utiekol, ľudia by ho považovali za právoplatného vládcu. A tak bolo prijaté temnejšie rozhodnutie. Do Vazulovej cely boli poslaní muži. Nie preto, aby ho oslobodili, ale aby zabezpečili, že nikdy nebude vládnuť. To, čo sa potom stalo, ľudia opisali ako najkrutejší teror. Boli mu vylúpené oči, aby už nikdy nevidel žiadne kráľovstvo. A do uší mu naliali roztavené olovo, aby nikdy nepočul svet vonku.Ale táto legenda sa nekončí úplne v temnote. Pretože zatiaľ čo Vazul trpel, a nakoniec aj zomrel, v hradbách hradu, jeho trom synom – Leventemu, Ondrejovi a Bélovi – sa podarilo utiecť. Utiekli ďaleko do exilu a niesli so sebou nielen svoje životy, ale aj príbeh svojho otca. O niekoľko rokov neskôr sa vrátili. A tichým zvratom osudu to bola Vazulova krvná línia – nie kráľov vyvolený dedič – ktorá naďalej vládla. A každý budúci kráľ z dynastie Árpádovcov pochádzal z tejto Vazulovej krvi. A tak sa naplnil Vazulov osud.Timestamps00:34 Introduction to the episode02:19 One day itinerary of Nitra05:56 Fun fact10:05 Slovak lesson14:08 Legend about Vazul in Slovak17:06 Translation of the legend19:53 Final thoughtsIf you have any questions, send it to my email hello@bozenasslovak.com.

You'll also hear what sustainability looks like in practice, from fair pay and supporting local teams to transparent pricing and thoughtful tipping. If you want to create itineraries that feel intentional, personal, and rooted in culture, this is where it starts!About Madi Lang:Madi is the founder of BA Cultural Concierge, a boutique, on-the-ground travel design company based in Argentina. For over 16 years, she's been working closely with clients and travel advisors to create culturally immersive, ethically minded journeys across Argentina and Latin America.

Her work focuses on designing trips that are seamless, values-aligned, and deeply rooted in place — from Patagonia lodges to private cultural experiences in Buenos Aires and beyond. She's especially passionate about helping advisors confidently vet partners, avoid common destination mistakes, and build itineraries that are intentional rather than transactional.baculturalconcierge.comToday we will cover:(02:25) Madi's story and how BA Cultural Concierge began(09:35) What makes an experience truly feel authentic(11:45) Becoming the “matchmaker” between client and supplier(20:20) Moving beyond “hidden gem” and other overused buzzwords(24:50) What sustainability looks like in travel(32:05) What a values-aligned supplier relationship looks likeRecourses mentioned in this Episode:ClickUp Business Hub TemplateFOLLOW ALONG ON INSTAGRAM @TiqueHQ

In this episode, we have a conversation with Nancy Li Smith, founder of Boop and a seasoned AI product leader with experience at Meta and Microsoft, to explore how her global upbringing and deep tech background led her to reimagine the way we plan travel. Nancy shares the inspiration behind Boop, sparked during her honeymoon in Venice, where she realized how fragmented and time-consuming travel planning can be. By combining AI with personal travel data, Boop transforms everyday memories—like photos and notes—into instantly shareable, bookable itineraries, making it easier for friends to discover, customize, and actually commit to trips together. Nancy also dives into the bigger vision behind Boop: empowering women to monetize their travel experiences and shift a portion of the massive travel economy back into their hands. She opens up about the leap from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship, the importance of mentorship and community, and how building from a female lens is shaping both the product and its impact. This conversation is a powerful blend of innovation, storytelling, and purpose—highlighting how lived experiences can become valuable assets in creating meaningful, scalable change.
