Major League Baseball, an exclusively North American league, says its best annual team is the "World Champions," having won the "World Series." No other continent is invited to compete. Similarly, the NBA's top team is called the "World Champions," even though, once again, only North American teams can compete. In 20 seconds, I complain about how North American leagues use the term "World Champs." For a more in-depth analysis, consider what Perplexity.ai wrote: The terms "World Champions" in NBA basketball and "World Series" in MLB are contentious but widely used for several reasons: ## NBA "World Champions" 1. The NBA is considered the best basketball league globally, attracting top international talent[3][7]. 2. Many of the league's best players, including recent MVP winners, are international[1][3]. 3. The NBA champion is viewed as the best professional team in the world, competing against global competition even though games are played in North America[3]. ## MLB "World Series" 1. Baseball is widely played on three continents, with MLB being the highest level of play[3]. 2. A significant percentage of MLB players are international, making it a global competition[3]. ## Other Examples 1. NFL Super Bowl winners are sometimes called "World Champions," though this is more controversial due to American football's limited global reach[3]. 2. The NHL's 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, featuring teams from the USA, Canada, Finland, and Sweden, has recently sparked intense international rivalry, particularly between the USA and Canada[2][5]. ## Counterarguments 1. Some argue these terms are arrogant, as the teams don't actually compete against all global teams[4][6]. 2. In European soccer, UEFA Champions League winners are called "European champions" despite it being the most prestigious club tournament worldwide[4]. The use of "World Champions" in American sports leagues remains a topic of debate, with proponents arguing it reflects the highest level of global competition, while critics see it as an overstatement of the leagues' international reach.

Adam reveals all, as his South Korean adventure continues but with far less clothes than before! The South Korean capital Seoul has many public baths (known as a 'Jjimjilbang' in Korean) which include traditional saunas, steam rooms, heated pools, restaurants, and even amusement arcades. Public Baths form part of East Asian culture and visiting one is a popular pastime. Adam describes visiting the bath houses of Seoul and encourages you to do the same, whether you need some alone time to relax or if you want to ‘hang out' with friends. Remaining bare and vulnerable, in the second half of the episode the boys discuss Adam's recent breakup. Travelling evokes many emotions and when a serious relationship enters the fold, there's the potential for those feelings to be amplified. Is travelling an effective way of dealing with a breakup?

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I reflect on the profound lessons learned from travelling the world and connecting with people from diverse cultures. Through heartfelt stories—from a Vietnamese hotel owner offering shelter during Chinese New Year to the remarkable honesty of a Tokyo subway worker—I highlight the universal kindness that transcends borders and stereotypes. He challenges divisive rhetoric and emphasizes the importance of empathy, collaboration, and understanding in building a better world.

It's a little tense this week, as Adam describes life on the North Korean border. Popular as a tourist attraction, visiting the DMZ isn't as dangerous as it may sound, unless you have someone in your tour group who insists on taking photographs! The Korean Demilitarized Zone is a heavily militarized area that runs between North and South Korea, dividing the peninsula in half. Established in 1953 as a result of the Korean Armistice agreement, the DMZ stretches 250 kilometres and is around 4 kilometres wide. The situation has flared up many times, with civilian and military casualties on both sides. Adam also shares highlights of his first week in South Korea, including spending the night in Incheon airport, and eating live octopus! Over in the Patreon section, we hear how buying a bagel turned into the "least enjoyable shopping experience" of his life! Inspired to sleep in an airport?

Alun made it home for Christmas but not before squeezing Greece & Italy into his already packed itinerary! Tune in to hear all about his escapades in the ancient city of Athens, and the chic fashion mecca Milan. The trip might not have made sense but at least it was expensive. Highlights include the charming ancient ruins of Athens, a brilliant free walking tour of Milan, almost seeing Jesus Christ's death cloth, and trying to eat as much pizza as possible without arousing a dear friend's nut allergy!

Reunited, once again, for an episode filled with ancient mysteries! Alun's in his element, reliving his travels in Turkey, in particular the neolithic archaeological site of Göbekli Tepe. Created between 9600 and 8200 BCE, along with neighbouring Karahan Tepe, Göbekli Tepe is one of the oldest permanent human settlements ever discovered, resulting in the megalithic structures being dubbed the "world's first temple". Alun also explored the underground city of Derinkuyu, in the region of Cappadocia. This ancient multi-level labyrinth of tunnels and chambers once housed 20,000 people! Forget the hot air balloon rides and the acrophobia; suffer from claustrophobia instead! Alun's last stop was the ancient Greek city of Ephesus, including the famous Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Alun recounts spending a full day meandering through the streets, marvelling at the well preserved city ruins. Tune in for ancient mystery and wonder, in an episide that asks more questions than it answers. What was Göbekli Tepe used for? Did the Christians dig the tunnels of Derinkuyu? And just when was ancient Greece?!

Adam's fulfilled his boyhood dream of bike-packing in Asia but, true to form, he's bitten off more than he can chew. 'Fresh' from hospital, Adam shares stories of his cycling trip around Taiwan, including a spectacular crash, followed by an intimate moment with a car mechanic. Tripping Point returns with a Taiwanese edition and the stakes are higher than ever. If Alun scores 4/5, Adam's agreed to fly to Scotland to be with him at Christmas. One thing's for certain: a sponsorship deal from the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is out the window. The Huandao, meaning 'around the island' in Chinese, is a legendary cycle route around Taiwan, and should be at the top of your list if you enjoy travelling by bicycle; although, many people also walk the route!

How would you like to get access to a global social safety net on the internet, complete with a “digital country”, with its own passport, tax system, retirement pension, healthcare, and visa access to foreign countries?   The co-founders of SafetyWing have big plans, including Plumia, an internet country founded on who you are and what you believe, rather than where you're from.   Plumia's current focus is unlocking borders and expanding global mobility rights to as many people as possible. First up is the Nomad Border Pass, which will provide visa-free travel for up to 10+ countries (as early as 2025).    Then, the Plumia digital passport is on the way, with an anticipated launch date of 2032.   In this episode of the Traveling with Kristin podcast, Kristin Wilson chats with the Executive Director of Plumia, Lauren Razavi, to tell us all about their plan. Lauren is a technologist, political scientist, and global citizen who's been working remotely since 2010 and nomading since 2013.   Tune in to learn about the new digital country that's taking the internet by storm, and how you can be a part of it right now!   Special Offers: The Best Travel Pants by Unbound Merino SafetyWing Nomad Insurance (International Travel Medical Insurance) Nomad Health by SafetyWing (Global Health Insurance) Digital Nomads For Dummies book   Topics Discussed: Lauren's nomadic background & her career at SafetyWing.

Features of the ideal digital nomad visa & their application process. Mitigating the long-term negative impacts of gentrification by nomads. Malaysian Nomad Visa: Why Malaysia's digital nomad community is growing. What retirement looks like for Millennials and Gen Z. Income taxes challenges for digital nomads. Future plans and goals for Plumia.   Questions Answered: How did your digital nomad lifestyle lead to your current career? What are the biggest barriers to global mobility and what solutions have you found? What is Plumia? How is Plumia creating an international standard for nomad visas? What formula should countries use to determine the minimum income requirement for nomad visas? Can retirees benefit from nomad visas? Are sabbaticals the new retirement? Will countries work together to prevent digital nomads from being taxless citizens?

Saying kids grow up fast is an understatement. It feels like yesterday we packed our car for our first road trip with Baby K to The Adirondacks, New York. Since then, we've road-tripped across the country, flown internationally, and have half a dozen local getaways under our belt.  I'm not going to lie, traveling with toddlers can be stressful, full of tantrums and big emotions, and endless running around, but it's so worth it. Here are the most important lessons I've learned about traveling with toddlers.    Baby Travel Essentials:  Blahoo travel stroller  Baby stroller fan  Baby stroller cooler seat liner  Stroller rain cover  Stroller snack tray Stroller hooks for bags Stroller organizer   Can't get enough cheap flights, points and miles, and money saving strategies?
