Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Sao Paolo, Brazil Welcome back to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. The FAQ is: Leslie asked, "After my injury/ operation, I'm concerned about travel. Can you tell me how hard it is to resume my former Step (1-5) for Travel? How should I set my expectations for future travel after I am healed? Answer:  The step for your next travel may be different than your last trip. For example, you may have been on an African safari, and that was a Step 5. Now you have had a broken bone, or you have had surgery, and you are wondering how to get back out there on your next adventure. You may need to re-group, drop down a step or two, and figure out your confidence again. You can always go on an overnight trip to a nearby city and start with Step 1 travel once again. There may be some things you missed or never saw that you've been meaning to visit, and now would be a good time to do so. I am not a medical doctor, so follow your doctor's advice on travel.   60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, Confidence Challenge in Sao Paulo If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into health and wellness, while moving through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign language communication tips and ways to improve your fun while solo, including areas like Sao Paolo, Brazil. You can find the series at the link in the description.    See Book A for addressing this concern. Look for Part C, which is coming soon. Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is São Paulo, Brazil.   São Paulo is the capital of Brazil and home to 22M people, a Step 5 destination.   São Paulo is worth seeing for women who like culture, neighborhoods, museums, and food, but it is not the easiest first-choice city in South America for a solo woman over 50. It can feel gray, crowded, and tiring. The traffic is real. The scale is real. The safety concerns are real. But if you stay in the right area, move with intention, and do not try to conquer the whole city, you can have a rich two-day visit that feels strong, smart, and independent.   I booked a cheap place on a travel website in São Paolo near the airport. Please listen to my mistakes at the end to understand why not to do that.   If you just arrived, you may want to take the metro into town. Get a 24-hour pass for about $.-5 Or just buy individual tickets. Metro here is free for people over 60, so just show your passport upon arrival at the station. I have a story at the end about that also.   If you are planning to go, here is a 2-day itinerary, along with a few of my comments. Day 1: Start with the easier parts of the city Morning: Avenida Paulista and MASP area Begin on Avenida Paulista because it is one of the city's best-known and most practical starting points for a solo visitor. It is central, busy, and lined with museums, cafes, shops, and hotels. MASP is one of the city's landmark museums and a strong anchor stop, rather than just wandering without a plan. São Paulo's official visitor materials also highlight Paulista as one of the city's defining areas. Midday: Long lunch instead of overpacking the day Do not try to "do São Paulo" in one sweep. Build in a proper lunch near Paulista or Jardins. This city can wear you out. Traffic, sidewalks, noise, and decision fatigue are real. Afternoon: Parque Ibirapuera Head to Ibirapuera Park for a calmer second half of the day. Official city materials list it among the major attractions, and it is a better late-afternoon choice than pushing deeper into more chaotic areas when your energy is lower. Evening: Dinner close to your hotel This is where I would be critical. São Paulo is not the city where I would tell a solo woman to "go out and see what happens" at night. Have dinner in a well-reviewed area near where you are staying, and use a car service back if needed.  Day 2:  Morning: Liberdade Liberdade is one of São Paulo's signature neighborhoods and gives you a different side of the city. Go in the morning, when you are fresh, and the area feels more manageable. It is photogenic and culturally distinct. It felt like an asian-like atmosphere for me. I felt the Japanese and other asian cultural influences, which made it different than other parts of the city. What to watch out for: Do not confuse "interesting" with "relaxing." Some parts can feel crowded, messy, and overstimulating. Keep valuables out of sight and do not stand around consulting your phone at the curb. Lunch: Stay put, then move intentionally Have lunch there or in a nearby planned stop. Avoid zigzagging across the city without a clear reason. In São Paulo, too much transit can waste time and cause more hassle. Afternoon option A: Municipal Market, if you like food stops The Mercado Municipal is iconic and worth considering for a focused visit, not an all-day outing. Go, sample, look around, then leave. Afternoon option B: Easier finish in Jardins or back to Paulista If you want a smoother second day, return to a more polished area such as Jardins or the Paulista zone. This is the better choice if you are tired, jet-lagged, or feeling cautious. Evening: End early I would lean toward Paulista/Jardins rather than picking a cheaper stay in a less convenient area. That is not because those neighborhoods are risk-free. They are not. It is because being in a more established, service-rich area usually makes solo travel simpler and lowers friction. São Paulo can be rewarding, but it is not a city to treat casually. Official advisories warn about crime, including street crime, and São Paulo's own Metro provides a dedicated safety reporting channel, which tells you something important: security is an active issue, not an afterthought. "São Paulo is not the city to improvise, but it is a city that rewards a solo woman who travels with judgment." This is not the kind of destination I would describe as easy. It is not relaxed. It is not as charming as some other cities in Brazil. And it is definitely not a place where I would suggest that a solo woman just show up and wander around without a plan. But here is the honest part. Interesting does not always mean comfortable. Some areas can feel crowded and overstimulating. So go early, stay alert, and do not stand on a sidewalk corner looking down at your phone like a lost tourist. São Paulo can be rewarding, but it is not casual travel. You need to pay attention. I would not wear flashy jewelry. I would not hold my phone out while walking. I would not arrive in a brand-new neighborhood after dark. And I would not assume that a place is fine just because it looks busy. Busy does not always mean safe. Another point for women over 50: choose your hotel area carefully. I would spend a bit more to stay in a better-located neighborhood rather than save money and make every outing harder. In a city like São Paulo, convenience is not a luxury. It is part of your safety strategy. São Paulo is better for the traveler who can say, "I do not need this city to entertain me every minute. I just want to experience it intelligently." If you go, keep your schedule realistic, stay alert, and let the city come to you in pieces. You do not need to conquer São Paulo. You just need to experience the right parts of it with confidence. I was able to store my luggage at the airport for the day for about $10. Worth it, so I did not have to carry it all day. The storage is in Terminal 2: Arrivals. Turn left. Luggage storage- "Guarda-Volumes", near parking garage entrance at far end of terminal.    There is an express train from Luz to the city every 2 hours. It's called. "GRU Airport train " Or CPTM. Take the free GRU SHUTTLE BUS. See show notes for many details. Espresso aeroporto, 60 mins long was the ride. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Paulo_Museum_of_Art https://artsandculture.google.com/story/RAURhHm2wnzb1g   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jardim_da_Luz   https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g303631-d311969-Reviews-Pinacoteca_do_Estado_de_Sao_Paulo-Sao_Paulo_State_of_Sao_Paulo.html When I first arrived in Luz, I got off at Luz station. Beautiful building. Ornate. The Portuguese Language Center was located there, too, in the Parque de Luz. The police were guarding, but felt safe. Beautiful trees and a fresh smell after the rain. Walked to the Pina Art Museum. Lots of school groups. Modern. Plus some traditional: films, sculptures, paintings, 3d designs. Walked over a bridge to a long street still close to Luz. Walked about a mile. Stores and parking garages mostly. Optical, toys, and industrial products. Found Church of San Bento. Praying for them and others in this beautiful building. No video allowed. —————— My three Sao Paolo  missteps:    Spilling yogurt all over me early in the morning. Table, clothes, floor, everywhere. What a mess. Be more careful around yogurt containers.   In the San Bento metro station, the  Woman at the counter would not give me free subway access. She sent me to the ticket booth to buy a ticket. I showed my passport there, and she said,  Go back there. So I did. I told her my age. Finally, she smiled and let me pass. Maybe I looked too young for the free transport.   Booking a room near the airport that was not in a good neighborhood. Lots of reasons not to walk at night. Bars on the doors and windows here.   Thanks for listening, and I'll see you on the next journey.

New security measure coming onboard aircrafts but are we too focused on past attacks to prevent the next one? With Jay Ratliff

I sat down with Marco from MoveItOn at ConsenSys Miami to talk about something I hadn't seen before — a peer-to-peer delivery platform that turns everyday travelers into courier agents. Think Uber, but for shipping. Marco walks me through how they use smart contract escrow to build trust between strangers sending valuable items, how their M1 token powers cross-border payments, and why they just acquired a Web2 company called GlocalZone with 1.5 million app downloads to hit the ground running. We also get into the regulatory maze of operating across 100+ countries, the AI-powered security boxes they plan to place at airports and train stations, and why the last-mile delivery problem is one that AI agents simply cannot solve on their own. If you're interested in how blockchain and real-world logistics can come together to save people money and create new income streams while traveling, this one is for you. Disclaimer:Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

A shocking new investigation from W5 is raising serious concerns about airport security and passenger safety. The report reveals that at least 17 innocent travelers from Canada have been detained around the world after criminals allegedly switched luggage tags onto suitcases filled with drugs, sometimes in countries where that crime can carry the death penalty. Avery Haines of W5 spoke to Andrew Carter.

Today I'm talking to Dan Demsky, who turned the frustration of trying to pack light while traveling into an 8-figure e-commerce business. He discovered that merino wool clothing lets you pack far fewer items for a trip. The problem was, most of the brands were focused on outdoor gear—not something everyday travelers would actually wear. So Dan and his buddies built Unbound Merino, a fully remote apparel brand doing $32M a year. In this episode, you'll hear how they used crowdfunding to validate product-market fit and scale without investors, how tariffs nearly wiped out their business overnight, and what it actually takes to run a fully remote team.   Key Takeaways with Dan Demsky (00:00) Starting an Apparel Brand (04:23) Crowdfunding as Product-Market Validation (05:27) Ecommerce's Hardest Problem (06:52) When Tariffs Nearly Killed their Business (13:09) 30% Repeat Buyers in 30 Days (15:29) Using Crowdfunding as a Growth Engine (28:20) Running a Fully Remote Team (39:41) Should You Do Business with Best Friends?  (51:17) Advice to New Entrepreneurs   Watch on YouTube:      Let's Connect: Website | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Twitter | Facebook

Episode 165 Atlas Ocean Voyages Review: Is the World Voyager Worth It for Antarctica? We just returned from one of the most bucket-list trips on the planet, an Antarctica expedition cruise aboard Atlas Ocean Voyages World Voyager, and we're breaking down everything: the ship, the staterooms, the food, the service, the expedition experience, and whether the $10,000–$15,000 price tag is actually worth it. This wasn't just a cruise review. This was one of our hosted group trips through Sunshine Travelers Experiences, so we lived this voyage alongside a group that had been planning it for years. We were intentional about every choice, ship size, itinerary, and overall value, and Atlas Ocean Voyages delivered across all three. If you're researching Antarctica expedition cruises, trying to decide between small ships vs. large ships, or wondering whether Atlas Ocean Voyages is the right fit for you, this episode is the deep dive you've been looking for. What We Cover in This Episode Why Ship Size Is Everything for AntarcticaWith Antarctica's strict rule that only 100 passengers can be on land at any one time, choosing a ship under 200 passengers changes the entire experience. On the World Voyager (153 passengers on our voyage), everyone gets to land on each expedition. Larger ships in the 200–499 passenger range technically qualify for Antarctica, but the rushed logistics mean you spend more time waiting than exploring. The Boarding ExperienceFrom the moment we arrived in Ushuaia, the experience felt like boarding a private yacht. Luggage was whisked directly to the ship, champagne and canapés were waiting in the lounge, and we were escorted to our stateroom with no long lines, no chaos. Stateroom Breakdown: Horizon Stateroom vs. BalconyWe booked the Horizon Stateroom, which features a floor-to-ceiling window that lowers halfway, giving you open-air views from the comfort of your cabin. In Antarctica's cold, this turned out to be the perfect choice over a balcony. The rooms also come with:- Oversized rain-head shower with body jets and a bench (no tiny cruise ship shower here)- Premium L'Occitane*bath amenities- Ultra-soft bedding, plush pillows, robes and slippers- Mini fridge stocked with your preferred beverages at no extra charge- Chaise lounge sofa, desk, and satellite TV with a curated film library *Note: Starting April 1, 2026, the Horizon Stateroom is being reclassified as a Junior Suite and will include Butler service. Daily Life & Expedition StructureEvery day was structured around two expeditions, typically one Zodiac tour and one shore landing. Passengers were divided into two rotating groups (ours was the "Weddell Seals"), so no single group always had priority. Plans changed constantly based on weather and ice conditions, and flexibility is key, but the expedition team handled every pivot seamlessly. The boot room (mud room) was central to the experience. Atlas provided parkas rated for extreme cold, rubber boots, and cleaned your gear between every landing to protect Antarctica's ecosystem. You keep the parka at the end of your voyage. Food & Dining: Better Than You'd ExpectDining was consistently one of the strongest parts of the ship. Here's what's included:- Main Dining Room: Buffet-style breakfast and lunch plus a rotating themed set menu for dinner (Italian, Asian, etc.) with multiple courses- Paula's Pantry- Counter service from 6:30 a.m. serving pastries, coffee, sandwiches, and daily rotating snacks- Afternoon Tea: Daily in the lounge with an extensive Kusmi Tea selection- 24-Hour Room Service: Full menu available any time — the midnight burger was excellent- All alcohol included: Beer, wine, and spirits all day, every day (except before excursions abd they enforce a strict no-alcohol policy before Zodiac tours and landings)- Fresh bread, pastries, and desserts baked daily by one dedicated baker and two pastry chefs using European-sourced ingredients What's Included in the PriceAt $10,000–$15,000+ per person (shoulder seasons like November and March on the lower end; peak and suites on the higher end), here's what's covered: the pre-voyage hotel night in Ushuaia, your flight to Ushuaia, the day tour before embarkation, all meals, all beverages (including alcohol and specialty coffees), gratuities, parkas, water bottles, and all expedition activities. Optional add-ons include kayaking, overnight camping on the continent, the Chef's Table, and spa treatments. Service: Nearly 1-to-1 Staff-to-Guest RatioWith approximately 130 crew members serving 153 guests, the service was personal in a way that's simply impossible on a mega-ship. Within a few days, staff knew every passenger's name. Our waiters remembered our preferences from the first meal. Gratuities are included, but the culture of going above and beyond was evident everywhere. The Expedition TeamSixteen experts from 11 countries — glaciologists, marine biologists, geologists, wildlife specialists — led every shore excursion with genuine enthusiasm. Sign up for a dinner with an expedition team member if you can; it's complimentary and completely worth it. Onboard Highlights You Wouldn't Expect- Crew Talent Show: One of the best evenings of the trip. Staff who you'd only seen behind the counter transformed into dancers, musicians, and a Rubik's cube speed-solver — all live.- Galley Tour: Met the executive chef and toured the immaculate kitchen — complimentary, not an upcharge.- Open Bridge Access: Visit the ship's bridge and talk with the captain and expedition leader — no extra fee.- Ship Stabilizers: Made a real difference in comfort during Drake Passage crossings.- Spa & Sauna: The sauna and heated loungers with panoramic windows overlooking Antarctica were unforgettable. Basic access is included; spa treatments are extra. Who Is This Ship Right For? The Atlas Ocean Voyages World Voyager is for travelers who want an immersive, destination-first expedition, not entertainment-heavy cruise-ship nightlife. Expect educational lectures, wildlife encounters, and an intimate atmosphere rather than big Broadway-style shows. If you want everyone on the ship to know your name by day two, and you care more about getting *on* Antarctic soil than watching it from a deck far above the water, this is your ship. Atlas also sails Arctic itineraries(summer), Mediterranean routes (summer), and a few Caribbean itineraries during transitions, and much of what we've described (small ship intimacy, included inclusions, exceptional service) applies to those voyages too.

Ever wondered what happens when gelato meets a Ferris wheel? Sam and Jeff are back after their Seattle adventure, and honestly, this trip had everything. They nearly missed their 5:30 flight thanks to an airport power outage and an overly chatty 3 a.m. Uber driver who couldn't stop talking about San Francisco rent prices. (Trust me, not the conversation you want at that hour.)In Seattle, they hit Pike Place Market for Beecher's mac and cheese and Greek gelato with exotic flavors, toured Lumen Field home of the Seattle Seahawks, and explored the Pop Culture Museum's impressive collections. The Chihuly Gardens featured stunning glass sculptures, and the Space Needle shot them up in just thirty-eight seconds. Their ferry ride to Bainbridge Island proved delightful and relaxing with beautiful views.But let's talk about that Ferris wheel incident—one speaker's indulgent food choices created an increasingly uncomfortable situation over multiple rotations that required an urgent exit. They also caught a Disney Villains brunch at a queer bar, enjoyed espresso martinis throughout the day, and dealt with a birthday party host who refused to share cake.The chaos, the food, the mishaps—it's all here. Listen to find out which moment almost derailed the entire trip.

On May 5th, 2019, Aeroflot Flight 1492 was scheduled to fly from Sheremetyevo Airport, Moscow to Murmansk Airport, in Russia. With 73 passengers and 5 crew on board, the pilots completed their pre-flight checks and lined up on the runway. At 18:03 they took off and began their climb. It was a little bumpy, but they'd handled worse. 5 minutes later, however, a deafening boom rocked the entire plane. All of a sudden the plane jolted, the primary radio went dead, and the autopilot became inoperative. But it was ok – the pilots knew this was a minor electrical failure, nothing major. What they didn't know though, was that in less than 30 minutes, the life of every passenger on board would be on the line. Not just because of what the pilots were about to do… oh no…. because of the dangerous decisions the passengers themselves made next. Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
