Welcome back to the Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I returned from another 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow solo travelers, share experiences, and help build world peace, one person at a time. The FAQ is: Do you feel isolated as an American traveling now? I've been solo traveling quite a bit over the past year, and I've noticed a trend. There have been multiple times when people in a group have discussed where they're from and asked questions about each other's countries. And then it gets to me, and I say the US, and it goes silent until the conversation moves on to someone else. It happens in hostels and bars. In fact, I've had multiple times where I say I'm American and the person will just instantly walk away. I know my country has done awful things that have earned this reputation. It's just disappointing that it creates a slightly isolating feeling at first. Luckily, I've had experiences where people have been really friendly, and I hope to have more of those. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I want to make it clear to those from the United States that they should not let this discourage them. The majority of my interactions don't go this way. I'm posting because I've had repeated, small incidents in several countries and want to see if others have noticed a pattern. Even when they happen, they've never felt more than just passive-aggressive. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, the Confidence Challenge in Johannesburg, is safety. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into how to feel safe when you travel alone. I also discuss my safari in Kenya, part of East Africa. You may want to book a safari in South Africa and read the book as you move through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with tips on foreign-language communication. You can find the series at the link in the description. See Book A for addressing this concern. Find it on the website at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Johannesburg, South Africa. Today, we're talking about Johannesburg, or "Joburg," a place that may not feel easy at first—but that's exactly why it matters. We will cover the Apartheid Museum, Soweto, Mandela, soccer, Maboneng, Rosebank, and Sandton. We'll also tell you about a good tour guide and how to get informed. Let's be clear: this is not a relaxed, wander-anywhere kind of destination. But if you approach it thoughtfully, it becomes one of the most eye-opening cultural experiences you can have. So let's walk through what's worth your time and what requires your attention. Johannesburg is not built for tourists—it's built from history. Gold mining in the 1800s created the city. Apartheid shaped it. And today, you feel both, everywhere. You'll notice: Stark contrasts between wealth and poverty Gated neighborhoods, security systems, and guarded homes Areas where the infrastructure feels inconsistent And if you're willing to see it clearly, this city teaches you something few others can. The Apartheid Museum If you are on a solo or group tour, start here. Not optional. The Apartheid Museum is one of the most powerful museums in the world. You don't just read history—you walk through it. Give yourself at least 2–3 hours. And be ready—it's emotionally heavy. Soweto + Mandela's Legacy Next, visit Soweto—short for "South Western Township." Soweto is where history becomes personal. Before your trip, if you can, read Mandela's book, The Long Walk to Freedom. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2304771/ Walk down Vilakazi Street—home to both Nobel Peace Prize winners from the area. Nelson Mandela Desmond Tutu Visit the Nelson Mandela House, now a museum. You'll see: Local life Street vendors Music, dancing, and community But go with a guide. Not optional. There were small fires in the neighborhoods along the roadside, and some traffic lights were not working. Be aware, but be ready to learn. Want to see a Soccer game while here? There are two teams you can watch at home games. Johannesburg-based Soweto giants Orlando Pirates play home games at Orlando Stadium, which the City of Johannesburg owns. While Carling Black Label has recently partnered with Kaizer Chiefs as a sponsor, the teams' major sponsors historically have included Vodacom and others. https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/43608195/what-soweto-derby-why-kaizer-chiefs-orlando-pirates-south-africa-most-popular-teams Head to Maboneng, Johannesburg's creative district. Think: Street art Local designers Live music Markets like The Playground It's one of the few places where you can walk more freely—but still stay aware. Grab a meal, enjoy the vibe, but don't linger alone after dark. Now, let's visit Rosebank + Sandton (Modern Johannesburg) If you're wondering where things feel familiar—this is it. In Rosebank: Visit the arts and crafts market Browse local goods safely In Sandton: Upscale shopping Restaurants Hotels like Marriott Global brands like Apple and Nike It's polished—but don't confuse that with the whole city. A few dining places to consider: Pata Pata in Maboneng Salvation Café https://www.salvationcafe.co.za/ Looking for a travel guide in Johannesburg? Here's a suggestion. Beck N Coll. Benoni is Colleen Becker's hometown, just outside of Johannesburg. Her grown Son is Calvin. She's married to Glenn. "Beck n Coll "is their travel company name. Through other means,nsuch aske Servas and Host a Sister, they have had 70-plus guests so far. Help them by booking your trip with them. Here is the website for more info. This episode is not a sponsored post. They can book you on a safari tour as they are experts here. https://www.beckncoll.co.za/ https://www.instagram.com/hostasister/ Here is more on Host A Sister. It's a global Facebook community connecting women worldwide to share homes for free, fostering friendship, cultural exchange, and safe, budget-friendly travel. Members (women and non-binary individuals) offer accommodation, local meetups, and travel advice without monetary exchange, ensuring it remains a non-dating platform, and I used it here. I met Colleen through Servas, and she told me about Host a Sister, which I used later in my 90-day trip. Let's summarize and add value with my reality check: Not every place will feel intuitive or walkable—plan your stops. You'll hear "be careful," and you should question what that actually means. Here's the reality: Do not travel alone at night Use Uber or arrange drivers Stay in known areas (Sandton, Rosebank) Avoid spontaneous wandering Keep your phone out of sight in public But also, don't assume constant danger. Many travelers report no issues when they stay aware and structured, like me. This guidance is not fear-based travel. It's informed travel. Johannesburg is not about comfort. It's about understanding. You will see: Inequality Resilience Creativity My missteps: Wrong Airport in Johannesburg Travel Mistake to Avoid I should have booked Johannesburg's other airport from Cape Town. I didn't realize there were two airports, and I picked the cheaper one. I ended up on the wrong side of town and had to Uber from the airport to the train station. Then I got on the train and got to my destination. So, in the end, I did not save any money. Check the airport before you book Safari Air! Thanks for listening, and I'll see you on the next journey.

Is John Swinney the right person to lead Scotland after May 7th?
The war in the Middle East is approaching the two week mark as oil prices have hovered around $100 per barrel. This came as Sidara finally competed its acquisition of Wood. In this week's episode of Energy Voice Out Loud, Ryan Duff is joined by reporters Michael Behr and Mat Perry while news editor Erikka Askeland catches up with what was happening at the Scottish National Investment Bank event in Aberdeen. First, Mat discusses the Rosebank FPSO's journey to the UK as it narrowly avoided conflict in the Middle East. This prompted a wider discussion on the impacts the war is having on the global energy market. Next, Erikka speaks to Tim Cullen from Great British Energy and Ana Stewart, Scotland's chief entrepreneur, about how to secure the UK's energy supply chain in a busy lunch time break at the Scottish National Investment Bank conference in Aberdeen And last, but by no means least, Ryan and Michael discuss Wood becoming 'a Sidara company' and what may change with the Aberdeen services giant now that it is under new ownership. Is there a Penspen merger on the horizon? It is certainly possible.

Send us a textIn the 1990s, Scotch whisky didn't just change flavors—it changed hands.For this week's episode, Kurt and Sarah dive into the business side of Scotch's comeback, from the rise of Diageo to the releases that shaped modern whisky culture. We unpack how the Classic Malts taught a generation how to drink Scotch, how the Rare Malts turned forgotten distilleries into legends, and why closures like Rosebank still stir strong emotions today.It's a story of big money, bold bets, nerdy treasures, and tough choices—where progress and loss often came hand in hand.Pour a dram and join us as we follow the money behind the magic of 1990s Scotch.
Growing up in New Zealand somehow turned into mud logging the Aussie desert, rigging up deepwater tech in the Gulf of Mexico, geosteering off Scotland, helping figure out nuclear waste storage in Swiss clay, and finally landing in subsurface risk and insurance where “nothing moves without coverage” starts to make way more sense.

As world leaders gather in Johannesburg for the G20 Leaders' Summit, a coalition of climate activist groups and affected communities are marching against TotalEnergies TODAY in Rosebank in Johannesburg. They are calling for an end to fossil fuel investments and a shift to renewable energy. The activists say TotalEnergies' oil and gas expansion has caused "environmental destruction, land dispossession and human rights violations, under the false promises of development and progress.

UK diesel prices just jumped after fresh US/UK sanctions targeting Russian oil producers — and the knock-on could be big. In this week's UK Energy Show, we break down the two-tier oil market (sanctioned barrels stuck “on the water” vs freely traded supply), why diesel is the pressure point, and how Lukoil's asset sale and Petrofac's collapse play into UK energy, jobs, and prices. We also dig into North Sea politics (Rosebank & Jackdaw), the Tony Blair Institute's call to slow the 2030 clean-energy push, and why electricity stays high when gas is ~6p/kWh but power caps at ~26p/kWh. What you'll learnHow tougher secondary sanctions can squeeze legal supply and lift UK dieselWhy India's pivot to non-Russian barrels tightens the “free” marketThe real-world impact: pump prices, logistics costs, and your weekly shopLukoil (refinery sales) & Petrofac (administration): signals vs realitiesBrent vs dated Brent: the price that actually matters for North Sea flowsRosebank/Jackdaw economics, Equinor's role, and UK competitiveness #UKEnergy #DieselPrices #OilMarket #Sanctions #Lukoil #Petrofac #Brent #NorthSea #CostOfLiving #FuelHedging
In this special extended edition of the UK Energy Show , Greg Newman and Julian Keites break down Ed Miliband's recent BBC interview and what it really means for household bills, grid investment, and the future of UK energy. From the rising non-commodity costs buried in your electricity bill to the hidden “tax” of net zero infrastructure, we unpack the mechanics behind energy pricing and how government policy is shaping what you pay. We also dive into the promises of 400,000 new green jobs, the role of CFDs and renewables in stabilising costs, and the controversy surrounding Rosebank - the North Sea oil field that could reshape the UK's energy balance. If you've ever wondered why your energy bill isn't falling, or what's really driving government energy decisions, this episode gives you the clearest breakdown yet.CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. The vast majority of retail client accounts lose money when trading in CFDs and spread bets. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs and spread bets work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

September is the season of Ceation in the Church Calendar. But we are destroying Creation; average global temperatures have risen by over 1 degree Centigrade over the last two centuries; the summer of 2025 was the hottest summer on record in the UK. There are still plans to drill for more gas and oil, including in the Rosebank oilfield in the North Sea.

If the UK can't ditch fossil fuels, who can? What impact would more drilling in the North Sea have for UK energy prices? What does the end of the net zero consensus mean for UK energy policy?This week on Cleaning Up, host Bryony Worthington sits down with Tessa Khan, founder of Uplift, a charity challenging the oil and gas industry's hold on UK energy policy. A lawyer turned campaigner, Khan offers incisive analysis of why the North Sea's fossil fuel era must end.Drawing from her background in international human rights and development, Khan reveals how the UK could become a global pioneer in energy transformation. She unpacks the economic myths perpetuated by the oil and gas lobby, exposes the minimal benefits of continued extraction, and champions a just transition to renewable energy.With the UK at a critical political crossroads, Khan offers a masterclass in strategic advocacy, blending data, political insight, and a passionate vision for a sustainable future.

Donald Trump has left the world reeling with a plan to turn Gaza into *checks notes* “the Riviera of the Middle East”. He vowed that the US will “take over” and “own” the Gaza strip, effectively endorsing the ethnic cleansing of 1.8 million Palestinians who would have “no alternative” but to leave. With rumours circling that his inner-circle are calling him an “HR manager” rather than a leader, in classic style, Keir Starmer has pushed back but avoided directly criticising Trump.News Agents co-host Lewis Goodall joins Nish and Coco to discuss this latest tidal wave of horror and whether Starmer has it in him to stand for something.On a more hopeful note, the decision to greenlight the giant new Rosebank oilfield off Shetland has been ruled unlawful by the courts. At the forefront of the fight has been Uplift Director Tessa Khan, who calls in to celebrate this major win for climate action and let us know how we can stop this oilfield for good.Later, Coco sinks her teeth into our household waste, after Green-led Bristol Council unleashes the wrath of local residents.

Listen back to FMQs! Questions this week included: Rona Mackay To ask the First Minister whether he will provide an update on the Scottish Government's work to keep The Promise, in light of the fifth anniversary of it being made. Douglas Lumsden To ask the First Minister what the Scottish Government's response is to the Court of Session's decision regarding the Rosebank oil field and the Jackdaw gas field.

Rachel Reeves' big speech on growth. We ask where was Scotland in the raft of major projects? Hard on the heels of this came the shock, not to anyone who'd been paying attention, news that the CEO of GB Energy, Juergen Maier, could not only give no date for the £300 reduction in consumer bills promised by Labour at the General Election but also that the one thousand Scottish jobs would take around 20 years to materialise. Sticking with Labour is there another U-turn on policy in the pipeline despite the Court of Session ruling by Lord Ericht putting a stop on oil and gas production in the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields? Will Starmer side with Rachel Reeves, the GMB and Scottish Labour, and give the go ahead to drill? Or will Ed Milliband stand up to those voices and refuse to issue new licences?We, in the light of listener Simon Brooke's excellent contribution, re-examine the validity of the claims made by the industry on so called sustainable aviation fuel?Donald Trump has called time out on his plans to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico. What's the reality behind the bluster? What's in store for the UK and the EU?Lesley looks at the historical precedence for US expansionism and just why Trump might be so keen on taking over Greenland.Suella Braverman trotted off to the USA to display her MAGA credentials at Trump's inauguration. She hung around to go "full Trump" in her speech to the Heritage Foundation . Is she signalling a potential jump to Reform, or is this an ongoing part of a campaign to oust Kemi Badenoch as Tory leader by shifting even further to the right?

Way back in 2019, when I was traveling Scotland for the first time, I kept hearing the name Rosebank. For some reason, it didn't up my curiosity. But as 2021 turned to 2022, I found myself hearing the name more and more. So, when it came time to choose a distillery to focus on as I virtually take us around the globe to different distilleries, Rosebank seemed like the perfect place to start. But to be honest, I thought it was already open, because they had tours listed on their site. When I reached out to them, they let me know that was just pre-booking. The distillery opens officially on June 7th, but my guest Stuart Hendry, Brand Home Director of Rosebank is about to give us a behind the scenes sneak peek. Prepare yourself for a combination of history, architecture, and historic spirits recreated on this week's second Whiskey Flight.

In September 2023 permission was given to develop Rosebank, the UK's largest untapped oil field. Located west of Shetland, the UK government says it will provide energy security in the UK for a whole generation, at a time where we have never felt more insecure about the source of our energy and the cost. But will it? A feat of modern engineering, with the latest technology used to create it. Once operational, where is all this money, and oil, going to flow? And how does this fit into a commitment to transition from a dependency on fossil fuels to greener alternatives? There's a lot at stake with this new oil field: jobs, investment, income, and oil, of course. There are so many questions about how oil and gas works in terms of its relationship to the UK, yet surprisingly few clear answers. This programme will help fill in the blanks.
