Kenny Dunn grew up in Upper Dublin, Pennsylvania, a suburb north of Philadelphia. With a Bachelor's degree in marketing and finance from Penn State University and a Master's in development management from American University in Washington D.C. in 1997 Kenny founded and was the CEO of his own company MarketVision in New York City. Focusing on event marketing promotions targeted at the US university sector, he managed successful marketing campaigns for AT&T, Motorola, Citibank, Discover, Bank of America, and Fortune 500. In 2009 Kenny moved to Rome when his Mexican wife, who worked at the UN in New York, got a job at the Food and Agriculture Organization, headquartered in the Eternal City.Two years later he founded Eating Europe Tours, which has become the largest tour operator specializing in culinary tours and activities across Europe. From its first tours in Rome, guided by Kenny, “Eating Europe” has expanded to London, Florence, Amsterdam, and Prague. Kenny's LinkedIn profile tells us, “Eating Europe” “has agreements with the industry's leading distribution platforms including Expedia, Viator, and Tourico; and preferred partnerships with major tour operators such as Carnival Cruise Lines, Globus and Rick Steve's Tours. The company has received media coverage in the NYTimes, Chicago Tribune, Forbes, The Sydney Morning Herald, and the BBC, [to name a few]. Since 2011 “Eating Europe” has welcomed over 80,000 clients who've left over 5,000 positive reviews on TripAdvisor and other review online sites.” Its tours are recommended by Lonely Planet, Rough Guide and Fodors Guidebooks.I first heard of “Eating Europe” in 2014 from Wibke Carter, the company's PR Manager. She'd been the PR Manager of the German National Tourist Organization in New York City, which is how I knew her. Wibke invited me on one of the first tours in Florence. Recently along with 7 other clients I participated in the company's first-ever tour, the daytime “Taste of Testaccio”. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dylanconroy/support

African Americans have been present in Paris for centuries, with a significant number of them living in the city during the early 20th century. Many were artists, writers, and musicians who were drawn to the city's cultural scene. The period between the two World Wars is often referred to as the "Harlem Renaissance in Paris" because of the number of Black artists, writers, and musicians who lived and worked there at the time. They were part of a larger community of expatriates, which included many other Americans and Europeans. This period saw the emergence of jazz and the birth of the literary genre of the "Negro novel". Some famous Black Americans in Paris during this time include James Baldwin, Josephine Baker, and Duke Ellington.

Hablando de Tecnología con Orlando Mergal | Podcast En Español | Discusión inteligente sobre computadoras, Internet, telé

¿Por qué compra la gente? Esa es una pregunta que se han hecho los mercaderes desde los tiempos de Jesucristo. De hecho, es el título de un libro escrito por Paco Underhill, una de las mentes más brillantes del mercadeo moderno. Sin embargo, a juzgar por la tónica que impera en la mayoría de los medios modernos, parecería que la mayoría de los llamados “expertos” en mercadeo de hoy se les escapa la respuesta. Constantemente vemos mensajes basados en “yo”, “yo”, “yo”, “yo” y “yo”, cuando la realidad moderna les grita que debería ser “tu”, “tu”, “tu”, “tu” y “tu”. Esa desfase entre el mensaje y el interés del que lo recibe hace que se traduzca en ruido. Y ruido es lo menos que queremos en cualquier proceso de comunicación. ¿Te has puesto a analizar cómo construyes tus mensajes? ¿Están expresados en “yo” o en “tu”? ¿Estas seguro? ¿O segura? Hace más de 30 años atrás, cuando comenzaba mi carrera en comunicaciones, mi primera clienta me dijo algo en inglés que se ha quedado conmigo hasta hoy: “people do things for selfish reasons”. Y habrán muchos que te digan que eso ha sido así de un tiempo a esta parte. Quizás en el último lustro. Pero nada de eso. Esa ha sido la naturaleza del ser humano siempre. Lo que sucede es que antes la gente eran presa fácil para la publicidad desmedida. Habían muchas menos alternativas mediáticas. También había menos “clutter”. Y por ende, menos ruido. Así que el público tenía una especie de “oídos vírgines” que eran presa fácil para los publicistas. Pero el mundo ha cambiado. La explosión de los medios digitales ha hecho que público desarrolle cayos. Se han tornado cínicos. No le creen a nadie. Y sobre todas las cosas tienen el control de la transacción de ventas, y lo saben. La gente de hoy compra pero no le gusta que le vendan. Llegan a tu establecimiento sabiendo más del producto que tú. Y cuando detectan que quieres cambiar su parecer sencillamente dan la espalda y se marchan, tanto a nivel presencial como cibernético.   La interacción ha cambiado de “yo”, “yo”, “yo”, “yo” y “yo” a “tu”, “tu”, “tu”, “tu” y “tu”. Y aquellas empresas que no lo entiendan están condenadas al fracaso. Y de eso es que vamos a hablar hoy: de “por qué compra la gente”.

Have you ever thought of building a business around travel? Andy Steves started his travel business in 2010, giving student tours to exchange students all around Europe. At first he was doing all the manual work himself (tours, guides, etc) but eventually learnt how to scale and grow his business. He currently lives in Medellin, Colombia. You'll love how inspiring his story is. We also chat about... Growing up with a travel lifestyle How he scaled his business His business and personal goals How do find off-the-beaten-path places as a tourist The emotional perspective of working and travelling. Enjoy this chat with Andy, and please subscribe to us in iTunes if you enjoyed it! Show notes and links from today's episode Rick Steve's Europe Instagram: Andy Steves Travels Website: Andy Steves Book: Andy Steves' Europe: City-Hopping on a Budget Key takeaways from our chat with Andy Steves 1 - Technology has changed the way we travel Andy has been working on his business for 8 years, and he's saying that in the past 2 or 3 years travel has evolved a lot. Now you can book a holiday from your phone, you can easily meet people online and Instagram influences the places we want to go. This is an interesting challenge for his business, that revolves around 3-4 day city trips for students in Europe. He tells us his goals are to turn his website in a type of marketplace, so he can easily adapt his city trips. 2 - Travelling is often cheaper than staying at home This has been repeated on other episodes - meaning that travelling really does not have to be expensive. Andy tells us how cheap it is for him to live in Medellin, Colombia, compared to Seattle. Rent, food and general cost of living is so much cheaper that Andy is not considering living in the US any time soon. He also mentions how important personal interactions are, and that talking to the locals and learning about their culture can go a very long way. 3 - Life is about the opportunities you choose It is true that it's a little strange seeing your friends and acquaintances achieve certain life milestones as you continue down your own path. Gwen explains how she wonders what her life would be like if she stayed in the military, J and her husband could have kept working for the Olympic Committee and gone to Rio, and Andy can see how everyone back home goes on with their own lives'. Although maybe a strange feeling, we all agree it's about the opportunity cost of every decision. At the end of the day it's best if you feel confident about the decisions you take, and accept that your life is about what you choose to do. Questions? Like or dislike? Leave us a comment!

The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style

~The Simple Sophisticate, episode #183 ~Subscribe to The Simple Sophisticate: iTunes | Stitcher | iHeartRadio The arrival of the holiday issue of The English Home in my mailbox brought a larger smile to my face than previous years. As I flipped through the pages of recommendations by the editors of special holiday events in which to partake in London and around the city (Liberty London holiday windows, visiting the Borough Market, and strolling down Regent's street), I immediately began to add the ideas that caught my eye and interest to my itinerary. After five years since my last visit to England, TSLL will be returning for the kick-off of the holiday season, and to say I am excited to do so in and around London is to only express a morsel of my eagerness to arrive in the land of Jane Austen. As such, I am fine-tuning my preparation for international travel. Five years ago I shared a three-part series on International Travel which is also included in TSLL's first book with further details not included on the blog. With each trip I have since taken requiring a passport, my travel experience deepens and prompts me to want to share what I have discovered. 1. Check Visa requirements and Renew Passport, if necessary A simple check on this U.S. government website will confirm whether or not you need a Visa or merely your passport to travel to the international country on your itinerary.  For example, if traveling to Australia from the U.S., you will need a Visa. A U.S. passport is valid for 10 years (five years for children under 16) and the renewal fee for an adult passport book is $110 (an additional $30 for a passport card). On the website, it states that renewals take between 4-6 weeks, but to be safe, do it at least three months in advance. 2. Apply for a TSA Pre-Check or Global Entry One of the best $85 I spent was going through the process to receive my Known Travel Number (KTN). In fewer than five minutes in any U.S. airport, I was moved through security without having to take my shoes off or empty my bags. I do still have to run my carry-on through security, but I was able to remain clothed and not take out all of my personal items. The ease set the tone for the trip that was pleasurable and less harried. Remember to renew within five years. Now for international travelers, the TSA Pre-Check works for our departures, but once we are abroad, we will have to go through international airport security unless we have a Global Entry number. While not all countries are a part of the Global Entry program (check here to see which are), there are certain travel frequency requirements to meet in order to obtain this status. The cost is $100 (also must be renewed every five years). ~the red smiley face was the note to the TSA security check that I was TSA Pre-Check, and I moved swiftly through the security line~ 3. Reach out to your financial institutions (credit card and checking) to alert them of your travel destinations Once you know which credit or debit cards you will be taking on your travels, call your bank to let them know where you will be traveling abroad and during which dates. Why? If you have a bank that keeps careful track of where you spend your money as to alert you to any fraudulent purchases, they could prevent your card from being used while you are in a destination you normally aren't. Simply let them know, and you will be set. 4. Pack the proper adapters and converters In my first post regarding international travel, I recommended a brand of adapters that while they worked, I found them to be too flimsy after using them a couple of times and often they didn’t stay in the socket (the post has since been updated). So the hunt began for a new brand which I found and am happy to report is affordable and offers very sturdy adapters. Made by Ceptics and offering adapters for nearly any country you may be traveling to, I paid $7 for three adapters fit for the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. Check this post out for converters and for what purpose you will need them (most laptops convert automatically) - scroll down to #4. 5. Purchase necessary sleep aids to alleviate jet lag as much as possible I have yet to not experience jet lag in some capacity. And even when I am convinced I am not experiencing it at the time, inevitably, upon reflection, I was. However, taking an over-the-counter sleep aid isn't a bad idea to try to sync your body on the plane sooner rather than later. Bring a sleep mask, and perhaps even change into pajamas if your flight is extra long. 6. Educate yourself about the culture  If you've never traveled to your destination, do your homework. Come to understand the customs and expectations, and if the country speaks a different language, learn the basic greetings (hello, thank you - see a more detailed list here - check out #7 on the list). 7. Check the driving license requirements If you are planning on renting a vehicle, check to see if the country you will be driving in requires an international driving license. Some countries simply need your driver's license from the country you are from, but others are more particular. Rick Steve's writes about driving in Europe here and here is a link to AAA which will issue you an IDP for $20 (good for one year). 8. Purchase transportation passesd in advance If when you arrive you will be using the local transportation (subway, metro, tube, bus, etc.), consider purchasing in advance (if available), the necessary transportation passes. For example, London makes available in advance of your arrival their Oyster card for visitors, as well as offering discounts on the fare prices. I particularly like knowing my transporation from the airport and for the first day is taken care of as due to the lengthy travel itinerary, I am quite exhausted and merely want to arrive at my accommodations and settle in without more stress of the unknowns. 9. Pack a neat and well-stocked travel tote for toiletries The 3.3 ounce rule applies to liquids and lotions if you are taking your travel tote in your carry-on, so pack thoughtfully. I just found these TSA approved squeezable liquid containers on Amazon which come with pre-made labels. If you are bringing your travel tote full of toiletries and/or make-up, finding the perfect sized tote is the goal. It has taken me some time to find this item. Having gone through a rolled up cloth and mesh version and a plastic version just to name a few, I finally found a leather travel tote with a couple of different compartments and zipper pouches that fit the exact size I needed. (View my list of items for a travel tote here.) This striped toiletry tote also caught my eye. 10. Invest in sturdy and secure luggage After going through at least three suitcases in which the handle would either be ripped off, the zipper broken or the collapsible handle becoming extremely loose, I realized I should have taken my own advice and applied it to travel luggage: invest in quality. Rimowa and Tumi are two top well-known and trusted brands making their luggage available in sturdy aluminum. I happend on a great deal last spring and purchased my Tumi at a fraction of the full-price from Neiman Marcus. Save up, and purchase what you can afford and you won't have to waste money on buying multiple pieces that don't do their job. 11. Reserve your taxis before you leave If you will need a taxi to and from the airport as you leave your home, as well as when you arrive at your destination, make the reservations ahead of time. Peace of mind and not having to pull your luggage through the local transportation is a simple investment if you have more than a carry-on. As well, when you hop (okay, who am I kidding, after a transcontinental flight, it is more like lumbering) off the plane, seeing your name on a piece of paper with your driver waiting to take you to your accommodations with a nice soft bed is a welcome sight. 12. Prep your home Depending upon the season and weather, tend to details of home care and home-sitting if necessary. As well, alert your mail carrier and newspaper delivery to be held or speak with a trusted neighbor to enjoy the newspaper while you are traveling. 13. Pack your carry-on Whether you are taking an item of luggage with you as a carry-on or not, you will want to stock your travel tote that will be traveling with you on-board with the necessities. Below is a list of items to consider: sleep mask reading, viewing and listening material (downloaded is applicable) earbuds empty water bottle sleep aid basic beauty bag (facial wipes, concealor, moisturizer, dry shampoo, mascara, blush, facial oil, lip moisturizer, hair brush) favorite tea bags (if you're a tea drinker like myself) work material (laptop, tablet, etc.) phone charger reading glasses & contact solution with case wallet passport 14. Confirm accommodations Make sure you have the proper addresses, arrival times are clear, and the hotels, vacation rentals, know when you will be arriving if at a unique time. 15. Confirm Online Check-In for Flight 24-hours before departure Most airlines allow you to check-in online from your phone/computer 24-hours in advance to expedite check-in should you just have a carry-on. Other airlines also allow you to choose your seating for free at this time as well such as British Airways. 16. Download helpful apps From an app to help you find free wi-fi at many international airports around the world (only $1.99 - WiFox), to transportation apps for your city, as well as Uber and the airlines you will be traveling on so there will be no need for a paper ticket, download the necessary apps before you wake up early and head to the airport. 17. Now take a deep breath You are able and ready to relax, open your mind to the many experiences that await you and enjoy your trip.

Dear Linda, My husband and I are traveling to Spain soon. He gave me a budget and I’m trying to be smart with money while we’re traveling. We’re already using points for a free hotel, what else do you recommend? Tina (name changed intentionally) Here’s what I recommend: 1. Always make sure your passport expiration date is way in the future! 2. Make sure your credit cards have a chip or they won’t be accepted. 3. Buy a travel book like Fodor’s or Lonely Planet or Rick Steve’s a to find good restaurants and know how expensive they are before you eat there. Beware of low budget books, you are not traveling by back pack and hostel! Remember to allocate larger restaurant and hotel budgets to big cities. 4. Use a debit card at ATM’s to get cash. They are cheaper than the bank, foreign exchange windows and the hotel. Immediately exchange $20 to $50 when you land so you have some petty cash for tips. 5. Bring some US dollars in $1, $5 and$10 for street purchases. 6. Use credit cards for purchases. You’ll get the best exchange rate and you’ll be protected in case of fraud. Only make small purchases at flea markets, on the street, etc. (Jewelry vs. scarf). 7. If you have foreign coins and the bank won’t buy it back from you, you can donate it to Unicef, change for good on an American Airlines flight or you can send it to Change for Good in NY. 8. Be aware some vendors don’t like Amex and prefer VISA because they have lower fees to the vendor and they will net more on a large purchase.
