Instead, she grabbed her 20-year-old mountain bike and camping gear, then pedalled 3,300km home through 11 countries.Listen if: You love spontaneous adventures, dream about bikepacking the Balkans, or want proof that bike adventures can start with small, imperfect gear.The story in a nutshell: Anne was midway through a climbing trip in Crete when her camper van broke down in the middle of nowhere. With Easter shutdown looming, not wanting to take a flight home, and stranded in the what felt like the 'middle of nowhere', she decided to ride it her old mountain bike all the way back to Germany. Not via the “boring” coastal route, but off-road through the newly created Trans Dinarica route through the Balkans. All up she cycled over 3,300 km, with a hefty 63,000 meters of climbing as well. Key takeaways:Listen to your inner voice: The wild idea in your head might be the one that changes everything.Start with what you've got: You don't need a shiny gravel bike to take on an adventure.

Už jste vybrali nejlepší stranickou hymnu, nejroztomilejší politické zvíře i nejkurióznější facku. V letní sérii politického bizáru Vlevo dole se tentokrát podíváme na celebrity, které se zapojily do kampaní.Politické strany se už tradičně před volbami snaží získat přízeň nějaké celebrity, aby ukázaly, že je mají rádi známí lidé - nejčastěji herci, zpěváci nebo sportovci. Ale se sháněním to mají čím dál těžší, málokteré z hvězd se v posledních letech chce riskovat, že občanskou angažovaností ztratí část svých fanoušků.Své by o tom mohl vyprávět třeba herec Martin Dejdar, který se v roce 2013 rozhodl v prezidentských volbách aktivně podporovat Miloše Zemana. Dejdar tím tehdy dokonce rozlítil scenáristy Jiřího Stránského a Hynka Bočana, autory Zdivočelé země. V jejich televizním seriálu o zvůli komunistického režimu v poválečném pohraničí hrál Dejdar hlavní roli Antonína Maděry, kterou podle nich podporou Zemana „zradil“.Jiné celebrity jsou zas podezírané z toho, že jejich podpora politickým stranám není zas tak nezištná. Přesně to se letos přihodilo Bolku Polívkovi: v květnu promluvil na zahájení předvolební roadshow koalice Spolu, zároveň jeho Divadlo Bolka Polívky získalo letos od města Brna vedeného primátorkou Markétou Vaňkovou z ODS rekordní dotaci, takže opozice ho viní z toho, že jde o odměnu za politickou podporu.Na nepochybně upřímnou náklonnost Jiřiny Bohdalové se ovšem může spolehnout Miloš Zeman. Herečka ho neochvějně podporuje od prezidentských voleb v roce 2013. Tu a tam se potkají dodnes. „Už mi, lásko, není dvacet let,“ zpívala Bohdalová například před dvěma roky na křtu Zemanovy knihy Spiknutí. V ní exprezident paranoidně viní z hospitalizace po volbách v roce 2021 všechny okolo, jen ne svůj zdravotní stav.Do politických kampaní se v minulosti zapojily mnohé další známé tváře. Ke stálicím rozhodně patří „pravdoláskařka“ Eva Holubová, která se občansky hodně angažuje - podporuje liberální a zelené strany. A ohromný zájem vždy byl o megastar Jaromíra Jágra - nejprve podpořil politiky ODS, později pak natočil legendární kuřecí video s Andrejem Babišem.Poslechněte si celou epizodu TOP 5 Vlevo dole a vyberte vítěze ankety!----Vlevo dole řeší politické kauzy, boje o vliv i šeptandu z kuloárů Sněmovny.

In this episode, STR President Amanda Hite shares how she's thinking about the role artificial intelligence could play in the future of hospitality forecasting. Recorded at the 2025 Hotel Data Conference, this conversation explores why STR's 40 years of proprietary hotel data remain its greatest advantage, how her team is cautiously testing AI tools without risking data integrity, and the opportunities AI presents for improving data onboarding and analysis. Amanda also explains why human judgment will always be essential in interpreting numbers and telling the story behind them. Hospitality leaders will come away with a clear understanding of what AI can — and can't — do for forecasting, and how to integrate it effectively while maintaining trust in the results.Resource from Actabl: The Future of Hotel Labor Management: A Smarter, People-First Approach to Profitability A few more resources: If you're new to Hospitality Daily, start here.

In this episode of the STR Data Lab, Jamie Lane interviews Hailie Anderson, founder of Airbnb Takeoff, about her journey in the short-term rental (STR) industry. Hailie, joining live from the Philippines, shares how she began her entrepreneurial journey at 19 during the COVID-19 pandemic. She graduated early from school and initially ran a content creation agency. Influenced by TikTok videos about rental arbitrage, she started her venture at 19, acquiring her first three units. Fast forward to now at 22, she has expanded to 58 units. Hailie explains the rental arbitrage model, noting it as a legitimate business strategy that allows property management sans ownership. She discusses her approach, which includes cold calling and emailing landlords to gain leasing agreements. Hailie also elaborates on the challenges and misconceptions of rental arbitrage, emphasizing the importance of legal and ethical operations. She highlights the critical role of building reliable local teams and leveraging technology, including PMS, dynamic pricing, and guest verification software. Hailie's tech stack includes various tools like Price Labs, Hostaway, and True V to streamline operations. Moreover, she emphasizes the importance of understanding market differences and stresses on the entrepreneurial spirit of Gen Z, which she believes is characterized by boldness, a desire for fast ROI, and a passion for digital nomadism. Jamie and Hailie also debate the value of education from social media and the differences between Gen Z and older generations' approaches to investment and risk. Hailie concludes by sharing her future plans, which include possibly expanding her portfolio further, staying in hospitality, and investing in properties for long-term stability. She encourages listeners to start pursuing their passions, emphasizing that success often comes from learning, failing, and trying repeatedly.You don't want to miss this episode!https://www.tiktok.com/@hailiemaariehttps://www.youtube.com/@Hailiemaarie~~~~Signup for AirDNA for FREE

20 Businesses You Can Start for Less Than the Price of a CarWhat if one car payment could buy your freedom? A bad lease traps you for years; a small, scrappy business can pay you while you learn skills you'll keep forever.Episode Snapshot: Chris breaks down why the “sure thing” job isn't so sure anymore—AI automation squeezing office roles, global competition for remote work, and faster layoff cycles—and shows how to de-risk entrepreneurship without quitting your day job. You'll get 20 practical business ideas you can launch for under ~$20k, from micro-gyms and AI implementation services to mobile detailing, STR cleaning, pressure washing, handyman work, photo-booth rentals, coffee carts, bookkeeping for trades, and more. We walk through lean launch steps, how to pre-sell before you spend, and why your KASH (Knowledge, Attitude, Skills, Habits) compounds faster once you start.Why Listen: For roughly a car payment, you can own an asset that cash-flows and builds you into an entrepreneur. We even run the numbers: a $30,000 starter budget over five years is roughly $580–$670/month depending on rates. Start small, learn fast, and let your first business teach you how to build the next.Connect with Chris Cooper:Website - https://businessisgood.com/

bto#312 – Um ein relevanter Pol in der zukünftig multipolaren Welt sein zu können, wird Europa unter den dann herrschenden großmachtpolitischen Bedingungen selbst zu einer Großmacht werden müssen. Andernfalls wird es als politische Entität untergehen. So lautet die Schlussfolgerung des deutsch-amerikanischen Wirtschaftswissenschaftlers Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Bachmann in einer aktuellen Studie über die Zukunft der USA. Der „Trumpismus“ basiert zwar auf einer Vielzahl keineswegs homogener Strömungen – was auch zum erratischen Regierungsstil der Trump-Administration beiträgt – ist aber Ausfluss einer zunehmenden Polarisierung der US-amerikanischen Gesellschaft.

AirDNA's 2025 Mid-Year Report: Why Market Predictions Come With a Big Asterisk. On this episode of the Real Estate Education Podcast, Erin and James dive into AirDNA's mid-year STR market report, which shows steady recovery from the 2023 Airbnb bust with occupancy rates projected to hit just below 56% in 2026—above pre-pandemic averages. While the data suggests continued balance between supply and demand, the hosts emphasize the report's major caveat: unprecedented policy uncertainty at the national level makes these projections far less reliable than in previous years. The conversation shifts to a troubling trend in the housing market where sellers are pulling listings at record rates—up 47% from last year according to Realtor.com data. With 13 out of every 100 homes being withdrawn from the market (compared to just 6 in 2022), the hosts explore what this "delisting surge" means for both buyers and rental property owners, particularly how failed sales are creating increased competition in the rental market.

Email erin@erinspradlin.com  Work with James: James@JamesCarlsonRe.com Also in this episode: How booking behavior has shifted dramatically—42% of all US bookings now made within two weeks Why Erin advises underpricing rentals initially rather than starting high and dropping prices The impact of sellers remaining "anchored to peak era expectations" on market dynamics Personal lessons on avoiding difficult conversations (featuring Erin's pickleball tournament dilemma) Concerns about institutional investors and foreign cash buyers changing the investment landscape Whether you're an STR owner navigating shifting booking patterns, considering your first rental property investment, or trying to understand why the housing market feels so unpredictable, this episode provides crucial context for 2025's unique challenges. The hosts remind listeners that while data shows gradual improvement, the current environment of rapid change—from AI to political upheaval—makes traditional real estate assumptions worth questioning.

Wiederholung vom 23. Juni 2024 Wer "Südengland" hört, denkt schnell erstmal an das bei deutschen Touristen so beliebte Cornwall. Doch wer aus London Richtung Süden fährt, der sollte auch in South Devon anhalten und sich von den sanften grünen Hügeln und beeindruckenden Stränden hier begeistern lassen. Zwischen den Küstenorten Torquay, Paignton und Brixham liegt eine Bucht mit dem passenden Namen "English Riviera". Hier lässt sich so einiges erleben. Zwar sind die drei kleinen Städtchen mittlerweile schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber auch heute noch kann man hier bei sehr mildem Klima hervorragend urlauben. Sei es mit einem traditionellen "Fish & Chips"-Gericht an der Seepromenade von Torquay oder bei langen Küstenwanderungen entlang des South West Coast Path. Vor Jahrzehnten urlaubten hier in Torquay vor allem die Reichen und Schönen aus London - und mitten unter ihnen war auch eine junge Frau, die später zu einer der bekanntesten Krimi-Autorinnen der Welt werden sollte: Agatha Christie. Sie wurde hier geboren und ließ sich an der "English Riviera" auch für Tatorte, Mörder und Mordmethoden inspirieren. Der Reichtum der Landbesitzer wiederum ist heutzutage einigen Aktivisten der "Right to Roam"-Kampagne ein Dorn im Auge: Sie fordern mehr Zugang zur Natur und Wildnis - die in England oft in Privatbesitz ist. Wir begeben uns auf die Spuren von Agatha Christie, lassen uns zeigen, wie man den Fisch für das Nationalgericht "Fish & Chips" so knusprig bekommt - und wandern mit den "Right to Roam"-Aktivisten durch den malerischen Nationalpark Dartmoor.
