New Zealand has been high on so many of your travel wish lists—and for good reason! In this episode, Pam shares details from her recent two-week adventure on the North Island of New Zealand, including how she booked business-class flights, multiple free hotel nights, and even covered rental cars and excursions—all using points and miles (and one fortuitous mistake fare). From kayaking Cathedral Cove to digging out hot tubs at Hot Water Beach, it's a trip full of unforgettable experiences and major travel inspiration. Finding Flights to New Zealand: A Challenge (and a Win!) Getting to New Zealand in business class is no easy feat, but Pam pulled it off. After struggling to find availability, she scored two one-way business-class award tickets from Dallas to Auckland. The return flight was a mistake fare in United Polaris for just $1,000 cash (normally $3,800+).  Points-Powered Luxury: Park Hyatt Auckland & More Pam raved about the Park Hyatt Auckland, calling it one of her favorite Park Hyatts ever. For just 25,000 Hyatt points per night, she enjoyed stunning views of the harbor, incredible Globalist breakfast, and unbeatable service. She also used Capital One Venture X credits to cover stays at boutique resorts. The Itinerary: Coastal Drives, Kayaks, and Tiny Houses Bay of Islands: Booked via Capital One credits, with a scenic boat tour to Hole in the Rock Cathedral Cove: Kayaking through crystal-clear waters to one of New Zealand's most famous spots Hot Water Beach: Digging hot tubs in naturally heated sand Rotorua & Lake Taupo: Rafting a 21-foot waterfall, visiting Maori villages, and relaxing in Hilton luxury Bonus Stay: A tiny house Airbnb—Pam's dream come true! The Total Cost Breakdown Using a mix of points, miles, Capital One credits, and cash, Pam calculated her total out-of-pocket costs at around $3,000—a fraction of the $28,000+ retail value for flights and hotels. With ten nights of free hotel stays, complimentary breakfasts, and first-class flight experiences, it was an unforgettable journey made possible by smart planning and strategic redemptions.   Links: How to Get Your Next Vacation for Nearly Free - https://travelmomsquad.lpages.co/freevacation Links For All Things Travel Mom Squad: stan.store/travelmomsquad   Episode Minute By Minute: 00:30 – Why Pam did New Zealand: Take 2 03:00 – Booking flights with AA miles and a United mistake fare 08:30 – Pam's advice for finding flights to New Zealand 13:00 – Park Hyatt Auckland + Waiheke Island day trip 18:00 – Bay of Islands and boutique hotel stay 21:00 – Tiny house stay and Cathedral Cove 26:00 – Rafting a waterfall and Maori village experience 31:00 – Hilton Lake Taupo and relaxing 35:00 – Flying United Polaris home + final night at Grand Hyatt DFW 38:00 – Cost recap and final thoughts on why Pam can't wait to return Thinking about a trip to New Zealand?

NEUSEELANDs Nordinsel — Glüh(cks)würmchen, Wildwasser und Sternenzauber Manchmal fühlt sich Reisen so episch und surreal an wie ein Traum. In Auckland gelandet, gings gleich rauf auf den Fernsehturm und auf einer (gerade erst entstandenen) Vulkaninsel runter in eine Höhle. Wir mussten durch einen Tunnel im Felsen, um den vielleicht schönsten Strand mit schwarzem, glitzernden Sand zu erreichen. Die Kulisse, die sich uns geboten hat, war mehr Film als Realität. Und für Filmkulissen ist Neuseeland ja ohnehin bekannt. Das haben wir dann auch gleich überprüft und uns in den Weta-Workshops mit den Bösewichtern aus Mittelerde angelegt und sind in Hobbiton auf Bilbos und Frodos Pfaden gewandelt. Und wir haben im grünen Drachen opulent geschmaust. In Waitomo gibt es Höhlen mit Glühwürmchen. Dort haben wir jedes Zeitgefühl verloren und sind überzeugt, die sollten eigentlich Glückswürmchen heißen. Neuseeland liegt auf dem pazifischen Feuerring und südlich vom Lake Taupo blubbert und zischt es aus dem Boden als würde ein alter Drache darunter den alten Jonny Cash Song „Ring of Fire“ vor sich hin murmeln. Doch dort gibt's nicht nur kochend heißes Wasser. Gerade mal 8 Grad kalt war das Wildwasser beim Rafting! Wir erzählen euch, warum kalt und wild so entspannend sein kann. Nachts dann der Blick nach oben: Das Weltall in voller Pracht, so klar und hell, dass wir immer noch staunen, wenn wir an diesen Moment denken. Wir freuen uns, wenn ihr wieder mit uns reist. Diesmal gibt's keine gefährlichen Tiere. Versprochen. Dafür eine "echte" Regenbogenbrücke und einen Gänsehaut-Haka am Schluß.

On the show this time, it’s the emo-math, jangle-pop of Wuhan band Chinese Football. Chinese Football is a 4 piece indie-rock band formed in 2011. The name was indeed inspired by Midwest legends American Football, and the 2 bands have even played together. Their music has elements of emo, math-rock, indie-rock and punk. Their latest release is “Win or Lose”, the 3rd in a trilogy of albums based on a fictitious video game. The first was “Here Comes a New Challenger?” followed by “Continue?”. The albums all have killer anime style covers, by the illustrator Space Layout, inspired by Streetfighter 2. The lyrics sort of follow the trials and tribulations of singer Xu Bo’s dream of becoming a rock star, and the band touring the world. There’s a humility to the lyrics that borders on self deprecation, what they call “the hesitation which follows failure.” Once the band fires up though, there is no hesitation, they deliver tight jangly, intricate riffs, poppy harmony, and a danceable groove.

A young, adventurous couple embarks on a bold mission in 1928: to conquer the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon and claim two record-breaking feats. The newlyweds pilot a handmade wooden scow down the rushing waters, navigating rugged rapids and unpredictable weather. As their journey stretches on, they mysteriously disappear, leaving behind a boat filled with supplies and a puzzle that has haunted explorers, historians, and investigators ever since. Did they succumb to the canyon's treacherous waters, or was there something more sinister at play? Clues and rumors have surfaced over decades, but the truth remains elusive.

In this episode of The Outdoor Biz Podcast, we welcome outdoor writer Dan Oko, who joins us to share his experiences and insights into the world of outdoor adventure and environmental storytelling.  Facebook   Twitter   Instagram Love the show? Subscribe,  rate, review, and share! Sign up for my Newsletter  HERE I'd love to hear your feedback about the show! You can contact me here:  rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com Brought to you this week by Empowered, the maker of the incredible Luci Light.  Go to ricksaez.com/lucilight2025 Show Notes Have you ever wondered how someone born in the concrete jungle of New York City could transform into an outdoor adventurer, chasing salmon in Montana and rafting down the Rio Grande? Let me introduce you to Dan Oko, a guy whose life story sounds like a Hollywood script… if Hollywood scripts were written in hiking boots. Ever driven a beat-up Toyota Corolla through Montana like it's a 4x4? Dan Oko has—and he's got the stories to prove it. What Happened: Dan didn't grow up climbing mountains or rafting whitewater rivers. He was a kid with a fishing pole and a dad who owned a patch of land upstate. That's where it began—pulling bluegills out of a five-acre pond, exploring the woods, and imprinting on the wild. Fast forward to his twenties, and he's living in Seattle, backpacking the Olympic Peninsula, and soaking in the clash between environmentalists and loggers during the spotted owl controversy. He didn't just observe—he wrote. His curiosity drove him deeper into questions about land use, wildlife preservation, and how humans fit into it all. His adventures became the backbone of his storytelling: hitching rides on Montana rivers, hiking until the grid disappeared, and fishing wherever water touched land. Oh, and his car? A Toyota Corolla masquerading as an off-road truck. Let's just say, his photographer didn't appreciate the busted back window in winter. Principle: Dan's story isn't just about adventure—it's about perspective. He learned early that great storytelling isn't about the writer's opinion; it's about giving voice to the people, places, and wild landscapes that need it. His work reminds us that we're part of a bigger web of life, and the awe of the outdoors can change the way we see the world. That's Why: That's why this week's episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast is a must-listen. Dan shares how to embrace the wild, balance conservation with exploration, and rediscover that childlike awe for the outdoors. It's not just an interview—it's a wake-up call for anyone craving more adventure in their life. Are you ready to trade excuses for exploration? If you've ever felt stuck behind a desk, dreaming of big skies and wild trails, this episode is for you. Don't wait for the perfect moment—listen to Episode 488 now and get inspired to chase your own wild stories.

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.

Creationists have long discussed rafting as one of the means by which animals migrated post-Flood. Upright trees would have acted like sails, enabling the rafts to cross intercontinental oceans relatively quickly. These trees likely sustained the raft inhabitants with food for their journey.

For the past decade Mandela has worked on a series focused on the genocide of African elephants & rhinos, the slaughter of protected species of sharks in Australia, the use of 1080 by the New Zealand government to control invasive predators & heritage theft/illegal wildlife trade across Asia.Mandela's captivating stories thrill and engage audiences by taking them to places they would never go, sharing the stories of people they could never meet & learning about our mysterious, sometimes dangerous, world filled with wildness, diverse cultures, hardship, courage & alternative ways of living and surviving.
