Halifax  Part 2 of 2   Welcome to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. The FAQ is: What is the best messaging app in Asia for Dr. Travelbest women?   Answer: For Dr. Travelbest, women traveling in Asia, the best answer is: use WhatsApp as your home base, but add the local app for the country you're visiting. Use WhatsApp as your main travel messaging app, but download the local app for the country you are visiting. In Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand, that may be LINE. In South Korea, it is KakaoTalk. In China, it is WeChat. Set these up before you leave home, while you still have easy access to your phone number, email, passwords, and two-factor codes. Asia does not use one single messaging app everywhere. The best app depends on where you are going. Before your trip, create a small phone folder called Asia Travel Apps and put these inside: WhatsApp, LINE, KakaoTalk, WeChat, Google Translate, Google Maps or Apple Maps, and your airline app. For most Dr. Travelbest women, the safest and simplest strategy is to keep WhatsApp for home, use the local app for local connections, and not wait until you land to download everything. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, Confidence Challenge Halifax Part 2     See Book A for addressing this concern. I'm an expert at messaging apps. Just ask. Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series.   Today's itinerary is Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Part 2 of 2 This episode is a three-day itinerary for a first-time visitor to Halifax, especially a solo woman traveler from the USA who wants history, waterfront views, local food, public transportation, and a relaxed pace. Halifax is a city where the harbor shapes everything. You will see ferries, cruise ships, navy activity, kayaks, boardwalks, seafood restaurants, and historic sites. My advice is to balance the serious history with time outside, because Halifax is best experienced both on land and near the water. Day One: Start with the waterfront and maritime history. Begin your first day with a walk along the Halifax waterfront boardwalk. This is the best way to feel the city. You may hear music, see cruise ships, watch boats moving across the harbor, and find places to sit outside. In summer, the waterfront can feel festive, especially if there are events or buskers. Look for Theodore the Tugboat, one of the cheerful harbor icons. It is a fun stop, especially if you like seeing the lighter side of a working port city. Then visit the Maritime Museum. This is one of the best first-day stops because it helps you understand Halifax's identity as a port city. Pay special attention to the history of the Halifax Explosion. In 1917, two ships collided in the harbor, causing a devastating explosion. The blast was massive, and the next day brought a blizzard. It is a sobering story, but it explains a lot about the city's strength and memory. After the museum, have lunch near the waterfront. This is a good time to try fish and chips, scallops, clams, or another seafood dish. If you are on a budget, balance one restaurant meal with simple food from a market or grocery store later in the day.   https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g154976-d23939015-Historic_Halifax_by_Foot-Halifax_Halifax_Regional_Municipality_Nova_Scotia.html In the afternoon, take the ferry to Dartmouth. The ferry is inexpensive; one of my notes said it costs about $2.50. Keep your ticket and enjoy the short ride across the harbor. You do not need to make this complicated. Sometimes the ferry ride itself is the experience. It gives you harbor views, a rest for your feet, and a different look back at Halifax. In the evening, return to the waterfront. Halifax is pretty at night, and if the weather is good, outdoor eating can be delightful. Stay aware of your surroundings, especially near nightlife areas. A local warning I heard was that areas with many bars can get rowdy. As a solo traveler, I would enjoy the evening but avoid getting pulled into a crowded late-night drinking scene. Day Two: Gardens, Citadel Hill, churches, and city views. Start day two at the Halifax Public Gardens. The main gate near South Park Street is a lovely entrance point. The gardens are peaceful, colorful, and a good contrast to the harbor. Go in the morning if you can, when the pace is slower. From there, head toward Spring Garden Road, one of the city's lively areas. You can find shops, cafes, and transit connections. If you like libraries, visit the newer Halifax Central Library and go up to the rooftop area for views and a sense of local life. I noted spring gardening and the rooftop as part of the library experience, and it is a good stop for travelers who like free or low-cost places. Next, walk or take transit toward the Citadel. The Citadel is up the hill, so wear comfortable shoes. Plan about two hours if you want to understand the military and cultural history. The views from the area also help you understand Halifax's shape. After the Citadel, visit St. Paul's Anglican Church downtown. It is an important landmark and one of the oldest buildings in Halifax, dating back to 1749. It is close enough to combine with other downtown stops and gives you a sense of the city's early colonial history. If you enjoy art, consider the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, especially for Maud Lewis's paintings. Her work is colorful, personal, and deeply connected to Nova Scotia. This is a good afternoon choice if the weather turns rainy or if you need a quieter indoor stop. For dinner, try seafood again or sample poutine if you have not already. Poutine is fries, cheese curds, and gravy. It may be unfamiliar to American visitors, but it is worth trying at least once in Canada. Day Three: Point Pleasant Park, universities, swimming, or a harbor adventure. On your third day, choose a pace that fits your energy.   My travel tip: combine one paid attraction each day with free or low-cost experiences like the Public Gardens, waterfront walks, the ferry, and Point Pleasant Park. Today's destination is My missteps: Leaving my cellphone behind. My mistake for this episode: Leaving my phone at the swimming pool in Toronto. I changed back into my clothes and left the phone on the bench. The phone is my lifeline when I travel. I was with a friend that day, so perhaps more distracted than normal. I called the pool, picked up the phone, and all was well. Don't leave your phone unattended when you travel. My travel tip on eSims: My Airalo discount code is:  MARY2856 for your savings of $3.00 or more. Install before you leave: Always download and install the eSIM while you are still at home on your secure, reliable Wi-Fi network. You don't want to activate it until the day before you arrive in the country you will use it, so have it downloaded already.   For most Dr. Travelbest women, the safest and simplest strategy is to keep WhatsApp for home, use the local app for local connections, and not wait until you land to download everything.

 Halifax Part 1 of 2  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast.  Find my book series on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Halifax,  Nova Scotia, Canada. Part 1 of 2 Eastern Canada is understated. This episode is about what I actually did there in August 2025, as a solo woman traveler. Halifax surprised me. It is a harbor city, a university city, a military city, a cruise-ship city, and a place where history seems to rise from the water. One of the first things I noticed is that Halifax is surrounded by water. The harbor is not just scenery. It is part of the city's identity. Ships, ferries, kayaks, cruise passengers, navy vessels, and waterfront walkers all share the same sense of place. So I walked, I spent a lot of time along the waterfront. There was music, people eating outside, and a lively summer feeling. I was there around August 4, which was a holiday, and I ate poutine at the buskers' event. Poutine was new to me. It is French fries with cheese curds and gravy, topped with ketchup. It was a different flavor for me, and that is part of travel: trying something even when you are not sure it will become your favorite. Halifax has a strong maritime history, and I visited the Maritime Museum. That was one of the highlights. I learned more about the Halifax Explosion of December 6, 1917, when two ships collided in the harbor. The explosion was enormous — often described as the world's largest pre-atomic explosion. I heard that the anchor landed miles away, the water was displaced, and a tsunami followed. The next day, there was a blizzard. That story stayed with me because it showed how much tragedy this city has survived. The Maritime Museum also connects you to other parts of Halifax history, including shipyards, dockyards, and the city's role as a port. If you are a first-time visitor, this is a good place to start because it helps you understand why Halifax matters. Immigration museum https://pier21.ca/ Look up your family history here, including whether you have US relatives. It had a 15-minute wait, but it was free. I also visited the Citadel, up on the hill. I spent about two hours there learning about the military and cultural changes in the area. It was informative, and I am glad I made the climb. Halifax has hills, so wear good walking shoes. You may think you are just going "up the hill to the museum," but your legs will know you are in a real city with elevation. Another special experience was my kayak tour around St. George's Island. It was a two-and-a-half-hour tour, and we learned about tunnels and armaments from the time when the British were responsible for the harbor's defense and security. It was expensive, but I was really glad I did it. Sometimes a higher-cost experience is worth it because it gives you a memory you would not get any other way. I also made time for beauty and quiet. I took bus number 1 to the Public Gardens, and they were beautiful. The main gate is near South Park Street and Spring Garden Road. That area is a good part of the city to explore. I wandered, took buses, and let myself explore different parts of Halifax rather than staying in just one tourist zone. One morning, I went swimming at the Centennial Pool at 8:30 AM. The water was chilly, but not freezing, and I swam for about 45 minutes. It felt fantastic. I love finding ordinary things in a new city — a public pool, a bus route, a grocery store, a coffee shop — because those places help me feel less like a tourist and more like a temporary resident. I noticed Tim Hortons everywhere. Strong coffee, bathrooms, and big business. For a traveler, especially one moving around by bus, knowing where you can get coffee and find a bathroom matters. I rode public buses and appreciated that they announced the next street before arriving. That was helpful when I was trying to figure out where I was going. At one point, I jumped on a 10C bus, not completely sure where it was going, but I was on South Park Street and Spring Garden Road and seeing more of Halifax. That is one of my travel styles: I like to wander, but I also pay attention. I passed St. Mary's University, Dalhousie University, Gorsebrook Park on Inglis Street, and other neighborhoods. Halifax has a strong student presence, which gives parts of the city energy. Quinpool Road felt like a main drag for shops. I also hopped at the Mic Mac Mall. I went to the Art Gallery, where Maud Lewis's paintings are an important draw. I saw Point Pleasant Park, one of my favorite parts of the city, especially around Young Avenue. Halifax has one gated street with six houses on the ocean, and that area felt peaceful and special. Point Pleasant Park also carries reminders of storms and resilience. I heard about a hurricane in 2010 that downed a huge number of trees. Nature is beautiful here, but also powerful. I also visited downtown Halifax, including St. Paul's Anglican Church, the city's oldest building, dating back to 1749. It is close to downtown and gives you a sense of how old Halifax is by North American standards. A few small details stayed with me. Some red traffic lights in Nova Scotia were square. The city has a Commons area for winter skating at the Emera Oval. There is an armory, the Scotiabank Center for events, cruise ships at the harbor, Irving gas stations, and a pretty waterfront at night. I even saw or heard about Theodore the Tugboat, which brought a lighter, cheerful side to the harbor. My food experiences included fish and chips, scallops, clams, poutine, and outdoor eating. I remember Olive and Rudy, scallops and clams, and the pleasure of eating outside when the weather is right. Halifax is a good place for seafood and simple travel meals. One day, I had a ham sandwich, an apple, a pear, an orange, and toast. That helped me manage costs while spending money on experiences. My caution for listeners: someone mentioned the "Dome" neighborhood as a place with many bars and a possible recipe for a bar fight. I would say this more gently: as a solo traveler, especially at night, be aware of nightlife districts. You do not have to avoid fun, but you do need to know your surroundings. The shownote includes a link to crime mapping in Halifax. https://www.halifax.ca/safety-security/police/crime-mapping   My mistake for this episode: assuming Halifax would be only a small waterfront stop. It was much more layered than that. My lesson: Halifax is not just a pretty Canadian harbor. It is a city of resilience, history, students, seafood, public spaces, and water views. Next up will be Part 2 of 2 on Halifax.    Travel Mistakes  My mistake for this episode: assuming Halifax would be only a small waterfront stop. It was much more layered than that. My travel tip: take the buses, walk the waterfront, and do at least one water-based experience — a ferry, harbor cruise, or kayak tour.     AI was used to select some of the suggestions for this episode.   Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news

Season 6, Episode 8 Carol Bruneau Maud Lewis enjoys nearly mythological status in Canada. With no formal training, she created some of the most recognizable images in 20th-century Canadian art. But her gnomic appearance and few recorded words leave us with more questions than answers. Carol Bruneau has dared to write in Maud's voice and describe a life of obstacles: the shame of having a child out of wedlock, crippling rheumatoid arthritis, a mean-spirited husband - any one of which could have made her achievements impossible. But in Bruneau's "Brighten the Corner Where You Are", we meet a canny survivor sustained by her drive to create a world of joyful images despite her impoverished rural existence. Hear Carol Bruneau's conversation with Costas Halavrezos about how she gained the confidence to give voice to the mysteries surrounding Maud Lewis.

Nútímamaðurinn býr við meira áreiti en nokkur skepna í jarðsögunni og upplifir æ sjaldnar algjöra þögn. Þróunarlíffræðingar hafa bent á að heili mannskepnunnar sé hreinlega ekki fær um að takast á við slíkt yfirflæði upplýsinga. Þagnarathvörf og kyrrðarvökur, þar sem fólk kemur saman og þegir, njóta því sífellt meiri vinsælda í dag. Rætt verður við Ástu Arnadóttur, jógakennara, sem hefur stundað og staðið fyrir kyrrðarvökum í tvo áratugi. Og við rýnum í naíf, tvívíð málverk kanadísku utangarðslistakonunnar Maud Lewis í þætti dagsins, en vinsældir hennar náðu nýjum hæðum þegar út kom ævisöguleg kvikmynd um listakonuna á síðasta ári. Morðið á ítalska fatahönnuðinum Gianni Versace vakti heimsathygli árið 1997 en hann var myrtur fyrir utan heimili sitt í Miami af ókunnugum manni. Nú hefur ofurframleiðandinn Ryan Murphy gert leikna þáttaröð um atburðina sem leiddu að morðinu. Áslaug Torfadóttir skoðar málið í þætti dagsins. „Fyrir mörgum er pítsan sérstakt hugðarefni og jafnvel nokkurs konar þráhyggja. Í dag er ekki óalgengt að fjárfesta í pítsustein eða stáli eða rækta súrdeigsmóður sérstaklega fyrir pítsudeigið eða að panta sérstaka tómata beint frá Ítalíu og up að dyrum o.s.frv“ Tómas Ævar Ólafsson veltir fyrir sér hvað góð pítsla þarf að uppfylla? Hann spyr: Hver er munurinn á venjulegri pítsu og ekta pítsu? Hann hringir til Ítalíu og ræðir við mann sem þekkir góðar pítsur.

En esta edición, la gran ganadora fue la película "Maudie", protagonizada por la reciente candidata al Oscar, Sally Hawkins, quien interpretó a Maud Lewis, la pintora canadiense de arte folklórico de Nueva Escocia, y Ethan Hawke, quien interpretó a su esposo, un vendedor de pescados.

Welcome to the House of Crouse. As we start another year we're taking one more week to remember the good stuff about 2017. Christopher Nolan stopped by the HoC to talk empathy, his epic war film "Dunkirk" and what movies inspired him to make movies. Ethan Hawke came by to talk "Maudie," the biopic of Nova Scotian painted Maud Lewis and why he feels he never had his big break.

Stephen has edited a wide variety of projects, from documentaries to television series to miniseries to feature films. Stephen has collaborated with several directors on multiple projects, including Andy de Emmony on such projects as Framed and West Is West, Ciaran Donnelly on Camelot and Titanic Blood and Steel, and Aisling Walsh on Damage and more recently Maudie.  Maudie, an Irish and Canadian co-production starring Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke, is based on the life of Nova Scotian folk artist Maud Lewis, who overcame crippling arthritis and harsh circumstances to become a beloved Canadian artist. Stephens most recent projects include the mini-series Howard's End written by Kenneth Lonergan and the upcoming feature film The Man Who Invented Christmas about Charles Dickens.  

As public services come under increasing pressure from government cuts the demand for documentaries about them is reflected in the number of programmes on TV. Last week, ITV's Inside London Fire Brigade featured previously unheard accounts of fire fighters from inside Grenfell Tower. In the same week, Channel 4's 24 hours in A&E returned for its 13th series, alongside 999 What's Your Emergency which is in its fourth; earlier in July, the second series of Hospital was screened on BBC Two. TV executives Simon Dickson and Ed Coulthard discuss why programmes about public services are so popular and what is involved in turning hours of documentary material into compulsive viewing. Writer Damian Barr champions Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City novels for Front Row's Queer Icons series.Sally Hawkins stars as Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis, in new biopic Maudie. The actress discusses Maud's remarkable life in a remote part of Nova Scotia living in very basic conditions while suffering from juvenile arthritis, her unlikely romance with local fisherman Everett Lewis played by Ethan Hawke in the film, and Maud's joyful spirit that comes through in her paintings. Josette Bushell-Mingo talks about her one-woman show 'Nina - a Story about Me and Nina Simone' in which she explores Nina Simone's musical and political influence not only on the young Josette but on the American civil rights movement of the 1960s and onwards.
