Send us a textAward-winning travel journalist Lisa Niver takes us behind the scenes of her remarkable career spanning all seven continents and more than 100 countries. With warmth and candor, she reveals how a former teacher and medical school student transformed personal hardship into a life of extraordinary adventure.Lisa's journey resembles a game of "Shoots and Ladders" – unpredictable, challenging and ultimately rewarding. She shares how working at Club Med and on cruise ships opened doors to global exploration when she couldn't afford exotic trips on a teacher's salary. These experiences laid the foundation for her website We Said Go Travel, which she launched in 2010 while traveling through Asia with her then-husband.The conversation takes an emotional turn as Lisa discusses her memoir "Brave-ish: One Breakup, Six Continents and Feeling Fearless After 50." Written partly in her therapist's office, this award-winning book chronicles how travel became her path to healing and reinvention following divorce. Her vulnerability in sharing both triumphant adventures and painful struggles resonates deeply with readers seeking their own fresh start.Among Lisa's most thrilling experiences? Hula-hooping at the southernmost post office in Antarctica, completing a polar plunge in both polar regions within six months, mountain biking despite childhood trauma and paddleboarding in Antarctic waters. These adventures aren't just personal victories – they're content for her prolific output across National Geographic, Reader's Digest, television segments, podcasts and social media channels with over two million YouTube views.For media professionals, Lisa offers invaluable insights on building genuine relationships with PR teams based on mutual support rather than transactions. Her approach to content creation is equally refreshing: start small, stay consistent and remember that even the most daunting goals can be achieved "one bite at a time." Lisa's journey proves it's never too late to reinvent yourself through courage, persistence and a passport.

Send us a textAward-winning travel writer Gwen Pratesi takes us on a remarkable journey of transformation from corporate professional to culinary explorer in this candid conversation about finding your calling through life's unexpected detours.When her husband was diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer in 2009, Gwen found inspiration in a Mediterranean cruise that sparked a food blog—launching at the dawn of digital content creation alongside pioneers like Pioneer Woman and Steamy Kitchen. What began as a flexible way to work while supporting her husband through treatments evolved organically into culinary tours, chef interviews, and eventually a James Beard Foundation Award nomination that surprised even Gwen herself.Now contributing to U.S. News & World Report, Frommer's, Garden & Gun, and numerous travel publications, Gwen reveals the authentic process behind travel journalism. She speaks candidly about preferring solo trips to find unique angles, navigating the challenges of travel mishaps in Vietnam and why Alaska remains her favorite destination despite temperatures reaching 40 below. For aspiring writers, her insights on crafting compelling narratives from personal experiences offer invaluable guidance.PR professionals will appreciate Pratesi's straightforward advice about journalist relationships: research writers' beats before pitching, allow adequate response time and be transparent about coverage expectations from the start. Her practical wisdom extends to enjoying the journey itself, whether interviewing culinary legend Jacques Pépin or discovering unique treasures in local shops while traveling.Connect with Gwen via email at gwenpratesi@gmail.com. Check out her website and articles at PratesiLiving.com.Thank you for listening!  Please take a moment to rate, review and subscribe to the Media in Minutes podcast here or anywhere you get your podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/media-in-minutes/id1555710662

Beinahe wäre er es geworden. Beinahe hätte sich Stevan Paul anstelle von Tim Mälzer als die Sonne betiteln können. Um ein Haar in der Suppe wäre es “Fiete Gastro mit Stevan Paul und Sebastian E. Merget” gewesen. Aber eben nur fast, denn am Ende hat Fiete wie immer alle umgehauen und den Job bekommen. Und so wie es gekommen ist, war es genau richtig, denn wenn Stevan ehrlich ist, wäre ihm das Leben als Fernsehernstarkoch sowieso nicht ganz geheuer gewesen. Dafür ist Stevan mit “v” wie “f” heute Koch, Food & Travel Journalist und Autor. Auch nicht schlecht, oder? Fiete und Sebastian sprechen mit dem “Mainstream-Koch mit Tiefgang” (im Gegensatz zu Fiete, da fehlt er, der Tiefgang) über das Nichtverständnis in Fine Dining Restaurants, darüber, worauf es bei Restaurantkritiken ankommt, woran man ein gutes Restaurant sofort erkennt und über Hamburgs kulinarische Geschichten. Wir bekommen ein kleines Geschmäckle davon, wie Fiete Gastro auch hätte sein können. Aber am Ende ist es auch gut so wie es ist.Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

She has covered a wide variety of travel experiences in the parks but even early on during the Halcyon's all-too-brief lifespan, it was evident that she found the experience to be uniquely amazing.
