Podcasts about so many places

Over the years, I have traveled extensively around Iceland in a camper van, so the pros and cons I'm sharing in this episode are from personal experience.  While the list might not cover every possible pro and con, I think it will give you enough insight about the experience to help you decide if this is something you want to do. Rent a Camper Van in Iceland & Save If you plan to rent a camper van, I highly recommend using Go Campers. I've use two of their campers on long road trips. One was the Go Lite Automatic camper and the other is Go Big Automatic Camper. They currently have a large selection of campers available, great customer service, and competitive rates. When you use my code iceland7, you save 7% and get two free duvets with your GO Campers van rental. Pros of Renting a Camper Van in Iceland 1. Save Money: Renting a camper van can be more cost-effective than constantly checking into hotels or guesthouses every night. By having your accommodation on wheels, you can reduce the expenses of your trip significantly.2. Travel Flexibility: One of the greatest joys of a camper van is the freedom it offers. You're not bound by hotel check-in/check-out times, and you can decide to stay longer in a place you love or move on if you're ready for a change of scenery.3. Icelandic Campsites: While this can also be a con (more on that later), many of Iceland's campsites are situated in breathtaking locations. Waking up to a waterfall, geysers, or vast landscapes can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I recommend using the website tjalda.is to find campsites in Iceland.4. Variety of Camper Vans: Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with a family, there's a camper van to fit your needs. From basic models to luxurious ones with all amenities, the choices are plentiful.5. So Many Places to Explore: Iceland is replete with natural wonders, from the Blue Lagoon to the colorful mountains in the Icelandic highlands. With a camper van, you have the convenience of stopping at off-the-beaten-path locations, making your trip even more memorable.6. What Comes with a Camper Van: Most camper vans come equipped with cooking facilities, bedding, and sometimes even Wi-Fi. This means less to pack and a more comfortable journey overall. A heater, electric cooler, a sink and different amenities are available on what kind of van you choose. Cons of Renting a Camper Van in Iceland 1. Icelandic Campsites: Here's the flip side – not all campsites are created equal. Some might be crowded, especially during peak tourist season, and may lack essential facilities.2. Using the Bathroom at Night: Most camper vans don't come with a toilet. So, those midnight nature calls can be a bit challenging, especially if you're parked far from campsite facilities or in more isolated areas.3. Extra Camper Van Costs: While the van itself might seem like a bargain, remember to factor in the cost of fuel, campsite fees, and any additional equipment or insurance you might need.4. Icelandic Weather: Iceland's weather is notorious for its unpredictability. Driving a camper van in strong winds, rain, or snow can be challenging. And even if you're not driving, being cooped up in a small space during bad weather can be less than ideal.5. Confined Space: Even the most spacious camper vans can feel tight after a few days, especially if you're traveling with others. It requires a certain level of adaptability and patience. Here are some packing cubes that are so useful to use for your camper van adventures.6. When Campsites Are Open: Not all campsites are open year-round. If you're traveling during the off-season, you might find limited options, which can pose challenges for where you can legally and safely park for the night.

In this episode, we talk with Kim Dinan who is an author, traveler, blogger, wife, and mother of two. Kim is the author of The Yellow Envelope, a travel memoir about her world travels with her husband. She had a 9 to 5 job, a house, and a good life in Oregon, but something deep down wasn’t being fulfilled. We discuss the meaning behind the book, world travel experiences, lessoned learned while traveling, and how it changed her lifestyle perspective. She supports people pursuing passions and living a life that they love. We discuss her journey for writing the book and her travel blog, So Many Places. We also discuss what her life is like now in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. This episode may inspire you to chase your dreams; no matter what that dream may be.

At age 30, Kim Dinan gave up everything she’d worked for to chase a dream. She convinced her husband to uproot their comfortable life in Portland, Oregon, to go after something she really wanted deep down inside: to travel the world, and to write. They sold their house, got rid of most of their possessions, and set off on a journey that ended up lasting several years. All along the way, she wrote, starting with a blog called So Many Places, that began to gain a large, loyal following. In April 2017, Kim then realized another of her greatest dreams, which was to see her own book on the shelves of her favorite bookstores. Her memoir, The Yellow Envelope, chronicles her and her husband’s sabbatical journey and also how they ended up giving small charitable gifts to people they met along the way. In this interview, Kim shares with host Lisa Hoashi what went into her decision to take her sabbatical leap, how she and her husband made it happen, and how she used her break to become a professional writer.

Jruma And Netta have a little ice breaker fun in the beginning of this episode then things quickly take an unusual turn as usual. They start to discuss black history and how its taught may effect us and give a shout out to the James Shaw Jr., Nashville new Hero/Heru.  Featured dope song of the episode: So Many Places x B-Hoody (produced by: Jrumz) Link:https://indy.livemixtapes.com/download/mp3/439623/bhoody-so-many-places-prod-by-djrumz.html  

One Envelope, One Thousand Dollars, and One Life-Changing Adventure.  After Kim and her husband decide to quit their jobs to travel around the world, they're given a yellow envelope containing a check and instructions to give the money away. The only three rules for the envelope: Don't overthink it; share your experiences; don't feel pressured to give it all away. Through Ecuador, Peru, Nepal, and beyond, Kim and Brian face obstacles, including major challenges to their relationship. As she distributes the gift to people she encounters along the way she learns that money does not have a thing to do with the capacity to give, but that giving―of ourselves―is transformational. Kim's writing has appeared in Parks and Recreation Magazine, Northwest Travel Magazine, Trailer Life Magazine, Go Explore Magazine and OnTrak Magazine, among others. Her popular blog, So Many Places, was named one of the best outdoor blogs by USA Today and has been featured online by sites such as Huffington Post and BuzzFeed. Her debut memoir, The Yellow Envelope, is available now. She lives in Ohio with her husband and daughter.

Happy Birthday, Harry + Jo! The first seven books of the series gave us all the story we needed. Or did they? With the additions of Pottermore, Twitter, The Cursed Child, and Fantastic Beasts, JK Rowling has many outlets to share more information about her universe. But does it all "count?" What is Canon? Is canon anything that comes from JK Rowling? Is it anything that was approved by JK Rowling? Books vs movies? First 7 or everything afterward? I'm joined by Elayna of SpeakBeasty and Paul of Blokebusters. We discuss our feelings about this and our thoughts on the new elements introduced by The Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts.

Today’s guest is Kim Dinan, author of the memoir, The Yellow Envelope: One Gift, Three Rules, and a Life Changing Journey Around the World. She has backpacked to over twenty-five countries on five continents. Her love of the outdoors landed her a coveted job on Backpacker Magazine’s Get Out More Tour and has compelled her to climb mountains in the Himalayas, raft frigid rivers in Patagonia, and walk five hundred and fifty miles across Spain on her own. Her popular travel blog, So Many Places, was named one of the best outdoor blogs by USA Today and has been featured online by such sites as Huffington Post and BuzzFeed. Kim joins host Mindy McGinnis to talk about the difference between querying fiction and non-fiction and her need to write that started with a blog, and culminated with a memoir, as well as writing the truth in non-fiction even when it’s not flattering to yourself or others, and trying not to take reviews personally when you write memoir. Also, Kim’s journeys around the world and her take on active motherhood. Links: Kim's Site Kim's Blog

As you know, on Common Room, we are religiously and politically neutral. We'll never post happy holidays for any holiday or support a political candidate as a site/podcast. So, when I asked friends and strangers to be on the show for #Potterweek and got a request to talk about religious allusions, I was a bit nervous. Stefani, a friend who I met through work suggested this for a reason that was pretty interesting. Stefani and her siblings were not allowed to have Harry Potter in the home. Stefani has a personal connection that she generously shared. We moved on to talk about bigger Harry Potter themes, favorites, and even took some time to do some sorting and discuss those large introspective questions. Enjoy this last episode of Potterweek on what I'm calling Potterday. Happy First Day of Hogwarts!! Check out Stefani- nowhere! She hates the internet! And check out James on social media as thejacksonjd!
