If you've ever caught yourself staring out a window, daydreaming of cobblestone streets in Paris, sunrises over Bali rice fields, or the quiet serenity of a mountain trail, you're not alone. Wanderlust—the irresistible urge to travel—is more than a trendy hashtag or a clever slogan on a hoodie. It's a deeply rooted part of human psychology.A Journey into the Mind of the TravelerAt 1923 Main Street, we live for that pull toward the horizon. But what is wanderlust, really? Why are some of us always dreaming of elsewhere?Let's take a journey into the mind.Born to Roam: The Science of WanderlustWanderlust isn't just a personality quirk—it's something researchers have studied and even tried to measure. There's a term for the personality trait most associated with travel: “high openness to experience.” Psychologists define this as one of the Big Five personality traits, and it's a strong predictor of someone's love for novelty, adventure and yes—travel.Studies have shown that people who score high in openness tend to:Be more curious and imaginativeSeek out variety and new experiencesBe more tolerant of uncertainty and ambiguityIt's not just about loving travel—it's about thriving on the unknown.There's also a genetic component. A study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior suggested a connection between the DRD4-7R gene and a tendency to love exploring. People with this “wanderlust gene” tend to be more risk-taking and exploratory. Not everyone has it, but those who do are statistically more likely to crave far-off places.The Eternal Elsewhere: Is Wanderlust Good or Bad?Like anything, wanderlust has its pros and cons.On the plus side:Travel lovers tend to be more adaptable and resilient.Exploring new cultures fosters empathy and creativity.Experiences (like travel) are known to bring longer-lasting happiness than possessions.But a constant yearning to be somewhere else can also have its downside. If you're always focused on “the next place,” it can be hard to appreciate the present. Psychologists refer to this as destination addiction—the idea that happiness is always “somewhere else,” just out of reach.The trick? Embrace the adventure, but don't lose sight of the beauty in everyday life. (That's part of why we design our graphic tees and hoodies the way we do—to bring a little bit of your favorite places with you wherever you are—including enjoying those memories at home.)The Social Media Effect: Inspiration or Illusion?We all know that the digital age has turbocharged our wanderlust. Your scrolling fingers barely have time to rest before you're seeing someone's photo of Santorini sunsets or Patagonia peaks.But beware, because social media can play a little game of angel/devil:Angel:It fuels inspiration and discovery—introducing places you might never have dreamed of.It creates a global community of like-minded adventurers.Devil:It can create unrealistic expectations (hello, curated perfection).It may lead to comparison fatigue, making us feel like we're missing out.Research from the University of Pennsylvania showed that limiting social media use to 30 minutes per day can reduce feelings of loneliness and FOMO—especially relevant when every scroll seems to showcase another person's passport stamp or sunrise mountain top photo from a faraway land.The key? Let social media inspire your dreams, but not dictate your worth.Are You Wired for Wanderlust?Wondering if you're part of the wanderlust tribe? Ask yourself:Do I get excited by planning trips—even ones I might never take?Do I sometimes feel more “me” when I'm out of my comfort zone?Am I more drawn to experiences than stuff?Do I keep a mental list (or an actual map) of dream destinations?Have I ever picked a hoodie or tee just because it reminds me of a place I love?If you nodded yes to most of those, chances are—wanderlust runs through your veins.Final Boarding CallWanderlust isn't something to be cured—it's something to be celebrated. The desire to travel pushes us to explore, connect and dream. Whether you're planning your next trip or reminiscing about your last, 1923 Main Street is here to keep that adventurous spark alive. Our travel-inspired apparel lets you wear your passion for the world—wherever you are, wherever you're going next.So go ahead—dream big, roam far, and bring a piece of the journey with you.Shop at 1923 Main Street, the Spirit Brand for Those Who Love to TravelThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

Czy istnieje w Czechach region bardziej złożony, bardziej pograniczny i bardziej zaskakujący niż Kraj Morawsko-Śląski? Ciężko rozstrzygnąć, ale gdyby robić taki konkurs, to bohater dzisiejszego odcinka byłby na pewno jednym z faworytów. W tym odcinku Czechostacji wyruszamy do miejsca, gdzie spotykają się nie tylko Morawy i Śląsk, ale także Alpy i Karpaty, przemysł i dzika przyroda, czeska państwowość oraz tożsamości śląska i polska, wzbogacone śladami kultur niemieckiej i żydowskiej. No i gdzie można zjeść uszy z piernika.O tej krainie cudów, czyli regionie morawsko-śląskim Republiki Czeskiej rozmawiam z Tomášem Zukalem – przedstawicielem agencji CzechTourism na Polskę i Litwę. Jest więc o Śląsku Cieszyńskim, który dla Pragi i Warszawy był przez dekady zarzewiem sporu, w którym rację mieli wszyscy i nikt równocześnie i który podlany sosem wielkich słów w istocie był sporem o huty, kopalnie i linię kolejową.Jest o Ostrawie, o której wielu myśli, że powinna być brudna i górnicza, a okazuje się jednym z najbardziej zaskakujących miast Europy Środkowej. I o Dolnych Witkowicach – czyli żelaznym zamku, który przypomina i Hradczany, i Santorini, i postapokaliptyczne uniwersum i w ktorym odbywa się kilka wielkich festiwali.Zaglądamy też do Stramberka – miasteczka z piernikowymi uszami i wieżą Roszpunki, do Koprzywnicy, gdzie powstają ciężarówki Tatra oraz do sąsiedniego Nowego Jiczyna, światowego centrum kapelusznictwa.Rozmawiamy o górnictwie i hutnictwie, o tym, skąd się bierze ostrawska twardość i czym różnią się Śląsk Cieszyński, Opawski i Hulczyński. Jest też o Freudzie, Emilu Zatopku i o tym, jak się chodzi po czeskich Bieszczadach.***Jeśli podcast Wam się podoba i chcecie pomóc go rozwijać, możecie zostać Patronami lub Patronkami Czechostacji w serwisie Patronite.

Hear about travel to the Peloponnese Peninsula in Greece as the Amateur Traveler talks to travel writer Sally Jane Smith about a great alternative to visiting the Greek Islands. Sally Jane says, “The thing is that most visitors go to Greece. They go to Athens, and then they tend to go straight to the islands. And Greece has hundreds of islands. The ones that most visitors go to are the resort-style islands of Santorini and Mykonos. Don't get me wrong, these are incredible places, but they tend to be crowded and they tend to be expensive. Whereas if you go to the Peloponnese and the Saronic Islands, which are just off the coast of the Peloponnese, you get that perfect balance. There are enough travelers visiting the area that they have all the facilities that you might need, but it also feels like you're exploring the real Greece rather than having a resort holiday. And it's gorgeous. There are striking landscapes. There are incredibly strong connections to history and to legend. There are five world heritage sites just on the Peloponnese Peninsula itself.” After starting in Athens which we covered in Athens Greece – Episode 832, we head down to the Peloponnese past the amazing Corinth Canal to the rocky island of Monemvasia. Monemvasia was founded in the sixth century and is a fortified city that has been nicknamed “the Gibraltar of the East”. It is a pedestrian-only town. You can hike the many many steps up the rock to the ruins of the old fortress with a great view of the old town. Bring your walking shoes for this and many of our other stops. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-the-peloponnese-greece/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As our fourth season draws to a close, we've got an apocalyptic, 2-part ending lined up. That's right, we're talking Armageddon, and we don't mean the 1998 Bruce Willis blockbuster. And of course, if we're going to delve into the end of everything, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu are going to need the help of our ever popular archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, the failed Soviet-era Kosmos 482 lander that was designed to withstand entry into the Venus atmosphere but never actually let Earth orbit and finally just came crashing back home on May 10, just a few days after we recorded this episode! Chuck, Allen and Hannah ponder the possibilities of cataclysmic destruction that the more than half-ton object could produce. Then, without missing a beat, Hannah takes us all the way back to Greek mythology and the Titanomachy, the legendary fights between the Gods and the Titans that were possibly inspired by catastrophic volcanic eruptions that laid waste to the ancient Mediterranean. Chuck jumps continents to discuss the Norse apocalypse known as Ragnarök – casually dropping that is inspired the massively popular Baldur's Gate 3 as he does. Not to be outdone, Hannah brings us all back to the original Armageddon itself: the final battle between good and evil that is foretold in the Book of Revelations to take place at Har Megiddo, the “Hill of Megiddo” in Hebrew. You'll also hear about where the word apocalypse comes from, and why it's become associated with the end of the world, as Hannah gives us all a quick lesson in eschatology, or the study of the end of the world. Our first question comes from Ahmed, who asks, “What are the odds that a killer asteroid will kill us all?” Allen gets a little excited about asteroid 2024 YR4, an asteroid the size of a 15-story building, that is predicted to pass safely by Earth in 2032 but at one point had as high a chance of hitting us as 4-5% – and still has about a 3% chance of hitting the Moon. Chuck explains that the odds of a true “dinosaur-killer” extinction event asteroid impact from an object at least a mile across is about 50 million to 1 in any given year. Hannah points out that it's far more likely that Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that inundated Pompeii, will erupt again. The last one was in 79AD, and since it tends to blow its top every 2,000 years or so, we're due. Moving back further, Hannah tells us about the Minoan Eruption that devastated the isle of Santorini in the Mediterranean, wiping out the city of Akrotiri, around 1600 BCE and was reported as far away as China. And that's just a few of the disastrous historic collapses Hannah shares with us, including the Hekla 3 eruption in Iceland that had may have had something to do with the Bronze Age Collapse. It turns out that the apocalypse is too big for a single episode! Join us in two weeks for Part 2 of our journey into all things apocalyptic.

This is a “wow your friends” wine if there ever was one! Serve this wine, have them guess what it is, and then amaze them with your wine knowledge. Assyrtiko is sometimes called THE Greek wine - the most famous and iconic of Greek wines - and yet not enough people know about it or talk about it. Made for thousands of years, Assyrtiko is the rare white wine that keeps its wonderful acidity even though it is most often grown in warm climates. Keep that in mind, because you might start seeing it grown more and more as climate change impacts the wine industry. You can see this in the episode artwork, but on Santorini they use this cool technique where they train the vines to grow in circles, almost like a wreath, to protect it from the wind. What is also wonderful about this wine is that we found two great wines in this episode, and each was different from the other. One was more of a Chardonnay lover's wine, and the other more of a Sauvignon Blanc lover's wine. But both were worth seeking out. Wines reviewed in this episode: 2023 Alexakis Assyrtiko, 2023 Kir-Yanni The North AssyrtikoSend us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode!Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we'd love to hear from you!Visit our website, leave a review, and reach out to us: https://thewinepairpodcast.com/Follow and DM us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewinepairpodcast/Send us an email: joe@thewinepairpodcast.com

Now, this is a Viking-themed strategy game where players lead their clan to victory by gathering resources, capturing buildings, and expanding their empire. Just picking and placing a tile will not get you a victory, you have some decisions to make that will have you balancing risk and reward. Cretaceous Rails is not a doomed theme park like so many built with dinosaurs as the main attractions. This medium-weight euro game combines economic strategy with thematic elements, allowing players to take tourists on safari and construct a thriving dino resort where every piece in the game is a resource to be used. With careful planning and resource management, you should out-maneuver the other park operators and come away with a victory and not be eaten by the T-rex. Santorini is a beautifully designed abstract strategy game that brings Greek mythology to life and Roxley has taken the new Pantheon Edition up to new hieghts with the components. Gameplay hasn't changed, players take on the role of gods and heroes, competing to build a majestic island of Santorini without getting trapped by the competition. And now with the coop version added to the mix, Riddle of the Sphinx, this should dust of those old copies and get the game back to the table.

Our last episode on second editions of the games Santorini and Tortuga 1667 reminded me about another second edition of a family favorite game that's out now: Parks designed by Henry Audubon and published by Keymaster Games. We covered the first edition of Parks way back on episode 7 of the podcast, and I thought I would reshare that episode here on the podcast feed in honor of the new edition of Parks. In this episode, I'm changing things up a bit and recommending a great board game for couples: Parks by Keymaster Games.I'm a big fan of the US National Parks, ever since I took my kids out west on what we called the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Tour. We saw the largest of each: we went whale-watching off the coast of San Francisco, we saw redwoods and sequoias in California, and we visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona. We visited three National Parks during that trip—Grand Canyon, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia—and each of them provided amazing sights and experiences.The board game Parks, designed by Henry Audubon, does a great job of capturing the beauty and wonder of the US National Parks. It is the prettiest game I own, with stunning artwork from the Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series. In the game, you take on the role of hikers, exploring the great outdoors and visiting as many National Parks as you can.We have two special guests in this episode. My wife Emily stops by for some color commentary and thoughts on why she enjoys playing Parks. Also, Matt Aiken from Keymaster Games joins us to talk about the origin of the game and why he thinks it's a great game for couples and to tell some stories of people playing PARKS in the great outdoors.See my photos of Parks, First Edition.Learn more about Parks, Second Edition.Order a First Player Token coffee mug.Visit the First Player Token website.Join the FPT Facebook group.Follow @firstplayertoken on Bluesky.Join the Family Tabletop Community on Discord.Music:“Open Road,” “Sunbeam,” and “Summer in Paradise,” https://www.purple-planet.com/.Send us a text

One of the greatest mysteries of all time: Atlantis. What began as a single line in Plato's Timaeus—an island swallowed by the sea in a day and night—has fueled over two thousand years of obsession, speculation, and wild theories.This episode unpacks the origins of the legend, starting with Plato himself. A philosopher, not a historian, Plato introduced Atlantis through dialogues meant to explore morality, politics, and the collapse of civilizations. The tale he tells is rich in detail: a powerful island kingdom of concentric harbors, gleaming temples, and divine bloodlines, eventually undone by its own corruption.From the Temple of Poseidon and its golden statue to the mysterious red metal orichalcum, the description of Atlantis feels more like a blueprint than a metaphor. Yet the story ends abruptly, with Zeus about to speak—and then nothing. Plato left us with a cliffhanger that still echoes.The boys then trace the legacy of Atlantis through history—from the Renaissance age of exploration to Ignatius Donnelly's 1882 book that claimed Atlantis was the mother of all civilizations. They break down the leading location theories, including Santorini's volcanic past, the eerie rings of the Richat Structure in the Sahara, the underwater anomalies near the Azores, and even Antarctica under the ice.But it doesn't stop at geology. Atlantis has become a cultural mirror—showing up in alien lore, Nazi expeditions, New Age mysticism, and blockbuster films. Was it real? Was it metaphor? Or something in between?Whether Atlantis was fact, fiction, or fable, one thing is clear: it's a legend built to last.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

Story Transcript:Ca: En una terrassa emblanquinada amb vistes al calder de Santorini, Oriol mirava el sol descendre.En: On a whitewashed terrace overlooking the caldera of Santorini, Oriol watched the sun set.Ca: El cel es pintava d'un daurat acollidor, mentre el mar reflectia colors de foc i les falçades de les cases brillaven amb una llum suau.En: The sky was painted in a welcoming gold, while the sea reflected fiery colors, and the facades of the houses shone with a gentle light.Ca: Era primavera, l'aire lleugerament fresc, un escenari perfecte per a un moment que Oriol havia somiat des de feia temps.En: It was spring, the air slightly cool, a perfect setting for a moment that Oriol had dreamed of for a long time.Ca: Des de feia mesos, Oriol estava planejant aquest viatge amb la Laia i en Marc, el seu millor amic, que els acompanyava com a suport moral.En: For months, Oriol had been planning this trip with Laia and Marc, his best friend, who accompanied them as moral support.Ca: Oriol volia demanar matrimoni a Laia i esperava que aquest fos el moment més màgic de les seves vides.En: Oriol wanted to propose to Laia and hoped this would be the most magical moment of their lives.Ca: Però dins seu, un temor s'amagava: temia el rebuig.En: But inside, a fear lurked: he feared rejection.Ca: Hi havia coses no resoltes en el passat que li donaven aquest pànic.En: There were unresolved issues in the past that gave him this panic.Ca: Tot i així, havia decidit superar aquestes pors i seguir endavant.En: Nevertheless, he had decided to overcome these fears and move forward.Ca: La Laia estava absorta en la bellesa del paisatge.En: Laia was absorbed in the beauty of the landscape.Ca: Oriol va agafar l'anell, amagant-lo darrere l'esquena mentre s'agenollava.En: Oriol took the ring, hiding it behind his back as he knelt down.Ca: Però just llavors, en Marc, amb cara preocupada, es va apropar ràpidament i li va xiuxiuejar a l'orella.En: But just then, Marc, with a worried face, approached quickly and whispered in his ear.Ca: Va dir-li que havia descobert un secret: Laia tenia un passat que no li havia revelat.En: He told him he had discovered a secret: Laia had a past she had not revealed to him.Ca: El cor d'Oriol es va encongir.En: Oriol's heart sank.Ca: Com podia proposar-li matrimoni si no confiava plenament en ella?En: How could he propose if he didn't fully trust her?Ca: Va decidir que no podia seguir amb el pla sense resoldre aquesta incertesa.En: He decided he couldn't go through with the plan without resolving this uncertainty.Ca: Es va aixecar, mirant la Laia amb dubtes als ulls.En: He stood up, looking at Laia with doubt in his eyes.Ca: “Laia, hi ha alguna cosa que he de saber, que pot canviar-ho tot?En: "Laia, is there something I need to know that could change everything?"Ca: ”, li va preguntar, una ombra de tristesa en la seva veu.En: he asked, a shadow of sadness in his voice.Ca: La Laia el va mirar sorpresa, però amb tranquil·litat.En: Laia looked at him surprised, yet calm.Ca: "Oriol, ho sé", va començar.En: "Oriol, I know," she began.Ca: "Hi ha una part de la meva vida que mai t'he explicat, però no és perquè vulgui amagar-ho.En: "There is a part of my life that I've never told you about, but it's not because I wanted to hide it.Ca: És perquè volia trobar el moment adequat per explicar-ho".En: It's because I wanted to find the right moment to explain it."Ca: Li va explicar sobre una època del seu passat que havia estat difícil, però que ja formava part de la història.En: She told him about a difficult time in her past, but one that was now just part of her story.Ca: "Era una cosa dolorosa, però vaig superar-ho.En: "It was something painful, but I overcame it.Ca: En Marc me'n va parlar, i avui és un record llunyà", va dir amb sinceritat.En: Marc mentioned it to me, and today it's a distant memory," she said sincerely.Ca: Oriol va sentir com els núvols dins seu es dissipaven.En: Oriol felt the clouds within him dissipate.Ca: Es va adonar que la clau de tot estava en la comunicació oberta i sincera.En: He realized the key to everything was in open and honest communication.Ca: Va comprendre

"Saint Irene was the daughter of a princelet called Licinius; named Penelope by her parents, through a divine revelation she was brought to faith in Christ and at Baptism was renamed Irene. In her zeal for piety she broke in pieces all the idols of her father, who commanded that she be trampled underfoot by horses. But while she remained unharmed, one of the horses rose up and cast down her father, killing him. By her prayer she raised him to life again, and he believed and was baptized. Afterwards, in many journeyings, Saint Irene suffered torments and punishments for her faith, but was preserved by the power of God, while working dread miracles and converting many thousands of souls. At last she came to Ephesus, where she fell asleep in peace, in the first half of the fourth century. Two days after her death, her gravestone was found lifted off, and her grave empty. At least two churches were dedicated to St Irene in Constantinople, and she is the patroness of the Aegean island of Thera, which is commonly called Santorini, a corruption of "Saint Irene." (Great Horologion)   Note: The most famous Agia Irene church in Constantinople is not named after her, but for the Holy Peace (Greek Irene) of God, which is Christ.   The Prologue's account differs in several details. St Nikolai places St Irene in the Balkans in the town of Magedon, in apostolic times rather than the 3rd-4th century. In his account Irene learned the Christian faith from her teacher, Appelianus, and was baptised by the Apostle Timothy himself. He attributes the anger of Irene's father to her refusal to marry rather than her smashing the family idols (though of course she might have done both).

In this episode, we go back to the island in second editions of podcast favorites Santorini and Tortuga 1667! Santorini: Pantheon Edition takes the original Santorini and its “Golden Fleece” expansion and presents them in a new package with revised rules and upgraded components. The teenager and I have been playing it regularly since we got it, and we are loving it. When I heard about Tortuga 1667: Deluxe Edition, I was excited at the prospect of upgraded components for the game, but I was a little worried when I heard that there would be revised rules. The original game is so, so good, it was hard to imagine how they would improve it, but they did!In this episode, I discuss what's new in each of these games and what I appreciate about the changes. Kudos to Roxley Games and Facade Games for these quality second editions of some of our favorite games! Links:Pre-order Santorini: Pantheon Edition from Roxley Games.Buy Tortuga 1667: Deluxe Edition from Facade Games.Order a First Player Token coffee mug.Visit the First Player Token website.Join the FPT Facebook group.Follow @firstplayertoken on Bluesky.Join the Family Tabletop Community on Discord.Music:"Open Road," "The Concept" by Purple Planet.
