Fifty episodes in and we are still pinching ourselves that we get to do this. For the Season 7 finale we sat down with Katerina Giannouka, a passionate hotelier and one of the most well travelled people we know and she took us on a journey that left us completely speechless. Japan, Mongolia, Norway, northern Greece and so much more.   Episode Highlights & Destination Gems: 1. Kumano Kodo Trail, Japan - A Pilgrimage That Will Change You • A trail walked by Emperors, Samurai and villagers for over a thousand years. Katerina says it is unlike anything else on earth. • One of only two UNESCO World Heritage trails in the world, the other being Santiago de Compostela in Spain • Begins in Mount Koya, a mountain village with over 100 stone temples where you stay as a guest of the monks and join morning prayers • Ryokans along the way owned by local families who cook kaiseki meals from their own gardens and rivers • Accessible for all levels with routes ranging from three to seven days • No plastics, no crowds and a deep connection to nature   https://www.tb-kumano.jp/en/kumano-kodo/ 2. Cape Town, South Africa - The One Destination Everyone Must Visit Katerina's go-to destination at every phase of life and a place she says has something for everyone. • A food scene that is vibrant, diverse and constantly evolving • The Oranjezicht market bringing together flavours from across the world in one extraordinary space • A city with cross cultural roots, youthfulness and a community of people actively giving back 3. Genghis Khan Retreat, Mongolia - Off the Map and Utterly Unforgettable • One of the most remote and extraordinary travel experiences on the planet. • Located in the Orkhon Valley • A tented retreat built by a Mongolian family that packs up completely each winter and leaves no trace • No phone signal, no roads and no civilization within reach • Horseback riding, polo, kayaking, mountain picnics and nights that go on under an endless sky https://genghiskhanretreat.com/ 4. Hong Kong - The City That Shapes You • A city that makes you live with presence because you know from the moment you arrive that you will not be there forever • Seventy five percent of the territory is protected natural land with pristine beaches that take hours to reach on foot • Trail running, hiking and coastlines that feel like Thailand and yet are entirely Hong Kong • A city where everyone is up to something, standing for something and constantly in motion 5. Al Khalili Market, Cairo - Solo Travel That Surprises You Katerina went against all advice as a solo woman traveller and found one of her warmest travel memories. • A market that has been part of Cairo's ecosystem for thousands of years • Welcoming, gracious and full of warmth for anyone willing to arrive with an open mind • A reminder that the places we fear most often have the most to give 6. Vikos Gorge, Northern Greece - The Deepest Canyon in the World Katerina's pick for the most underrated destination on earth and a place that left her completely speechless. • Listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the deepest canyon in the world • A five to six hour hike along the canyon floor starting from a stone village at the top of a mountain • At the end of the trail, the source of a river born from freezing water bubbling straight out of rock forming crystal blue pools at four degrees • Well marked, accessible and world class in every sense • Northern Greece deserves far more recognition than it currently receives 7. Sydney, Australia - The Best Food City in the World • Produce so exceptional and so fresh that very little needs to be done to it in the kitchen • From Michelin starred restaurants to a breakfast bowl at Bondi Beach, the quality never drops • Soil that has not been overused and land mass that allows ingredients to be what they are meant to be 8. Haukasen Lodge, Norway - The Hidden Gem • A hunting lodge in the Norwegian fjords that Katerina was almost reluctant to share. • Reachable via Oslo and a one and a half hour flight northwest to Sogndal • Open only four or five months a year and booked many years in advance • A sauna overlooking the fjord, glacier hikes, kayaking, ice bathing and evenings by the fireplace • Slow luxury with no agenda, no performance and nothing between you and nature https://www.haukasenlodge.no/ 9. Socotra, Yemen - Bucket List • Blood dragon trees and Jurassic Park landscapes found nowhere else on earth • Thirty seven percent of species are endemic meaning they exist only here • Pristine beaches, extraordinary nature and visitor numbers still tightly controlled • A destination that remains genuinely untouched 10. Oman - Bucket List • Some of the best diving in the world • Close enough from Dubai to make it completely accessible and yet still deeply under visited Connect with Katerina Giannouka: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katerinaqod/ Thank you for tuning in to Travel Stories with Moush!

Tom welcomes consumer advocate and longtime journalist Herb Weisbaum to discuss the surprisingly expensive and increasingly chaotic summer travel season.

When people think of Antonio Stradivari, better known as Stradivarius, they immediately think of Italy. After all, the legendary luthier crafted his masterpieces in Cremona during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. So why would a podcast about Spain dedicate an entire episode to an Italian craftsman?The answer lies in one of Spain's most extraordinary and little-known treasures.Hidden within Madrid's Royal Palace is the world-famous Royal Stradivarius Collection, a remarkable group ofinstruments that forms one of the finest and most complete surviving ensembles ever created by the master himself. These priceless instruments are not only musical treasures but also part of Spain's national heritage.How did they arrive in Spain? The story takes us back to the Spanish Bourbon monarchy. During the 18th century, members of the royal family acquired these exceptional instruments, recognizing their unmatched craftsmanship and artistic value. Over time, they became part of the royal collections and have remained under Spanish protection ever since.What makes these instruments so special? For more than three centuries, musicians, scientists, and collectors have tried to uncover the secret behind the Stradivarius sound. The unique woods, varnishes, construction techniques, and extraordinary attention to detail have helped create instruments whose tone continues to fascinate the world.Unlike many museum pieces that remain silent behind glass, the Royal Stradivarius instruments are occasionally brought to life during special concerts and cultural events. On those rare occasions, visitors can hear the same rich sounds that have enchanted audiences for generations. In this episode of Spanish Loops, We explore the fascinating journey of these legendary instruments, the mysteries surrounding their creation, and the important role they play in Spain's cultural legacy.And if this story inspires you to see them for yourself, these treasures can be admired during Jorge's popular “Madrid and the Imperial Cities” tour, where history, royalty, art, and music come together in one unforgettable experience. Join us as we discover how some of the most famous Italian instruments in history became one of Spain's greatest hidden gems.Discover Spain Every Week With Fran And Jorge — Hidden Secrets, Fascinating History, Local Curiosities, Personal Stories, Travel Tips, Culture, Food, Legends, And Non-Stop Laughter In The Most Entertaining Spanish Podcast Online. For Jorge: Small Group Tours in Spain & PortugalWebsite: https://travelingwithjorge.com/Small group tours Spain, cultural tours Spain and Portugal, authentic travel experiences, guided tours for mature travelers, food and wine tours Iberian Peninsula.If you're dreaming about discovering Spain and Portugal beyond the typical tourist routes, Jorge designs small group cultural tours that combine history, local gastronomy, wine experiences, and meaningful human connections.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 10th, 2026!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠⁠ Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this timely and motivating episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle one of the most common fasting lifestyle challenges — how to stay consistent through summer without falling into the all-or-nothing trap that quietly undoes months of hard-earned progress. Using the simple but powerful "keepy uppy" analogy, they reframe the goal from perfect execution to simply never letting your fasting habits go to zero, making consistency feel achievable even during the busiest, most unpredictable weeks of the year. The hosts walk through five practical categories — fasting windows, food choices, hydration, movement, and mindset — offering concrete summer-specific strategies like anchoring just one end of your eating window, using travel days to extend rather than abandon your fast, and letting the event be your meal at barbecues and pool parties. They also share a key mindset shift for navigating social situations with food, emphasizing the value of choosing one indulgence on purpose rather than grazing mindlessly and regretting it later. The episode closes with an encouraging challenge: pick two or three of today's strategies, apply them now before the summer slips away, and you'll look back in September knowing you stayed in the game the whole time rather than starting over again from scratch.

Planning a vacation should be exciting—not overwhelming. But between choosing a destination, booking flights, creating an itinerary, and figuring out logistics, it's easy to feel stressed before your trip even begins. At The Travel Brats, we've planned everything from last-minute city getaways to international adventures booked nearly a year in advance. Over time, we've learned that the best trips happen when you focus on smart planning without overplanning every minute. Here's our step-by-step guide to planning a vacation the right way.   1. Start With Your "Why" Before choosing a destination, ask yourself: Do I want relaxation or adventure? Am I traveling for food, culture, nature, or nightlife? Am I recharging or packing my schedule? Your answer determines everything from budget to destination to daily activities. Helpful questions to research: Is this destination better for couples, friends, or families? Is it good for digital nomads? Can I visit without renting a car? Does it offer more adventure or relaxation? The clearer your travel goals, the easier every other decision becomes.   2. Set Your Dates and Budget You don't need an exact budget, but you need a realistic one. Consider: Number of travel days Flight costs Hotel or Airbnb costs Food and drinks Transportation Activities and excursions Most importantly, leave room for unexpected expenses. A good vacation budget includes a buffer because travel rarely goes exactly as planned. Also factor in important deadlines such as: PTO approval School breaks Weddings Special events   3. Choose Your Destination Strategically Timing can completely change your experience. Ask yourself: What's in season during my travel dates? Will weather affect the trip? Is it peak tourist season? How long is the travel time? Is the destination easy to navigate? If you only have a few vacation days, shorter flights often win. We've seen travelers hate destinations during crowded peak seasons and fall in love with the same places during shoulder season. Research matters.   4. Book the Big Stuff First Follow this order: ✈️ Flights

Orvis-endorsed guide Alberto Rey [33:22] just completed a trip around the world, fishing and exploring on six continents—and he did it all with only two 6-piece Clearwater Rods and two reels and a handful of flies. He has some great stories and great tips for travelers from his experience and shares them with us.   In the Fly Box this week, we have these questions and tips: Should I be adding 4 feet of tippet to my 7 ½ foot leader for a dry dropper rig? A tip from a listener about using pieces of pool noodle to store pre-make fly rigs I saw a video where a guy fished four flies at once on droppers. How do you avoid tangles with this many flies on the leader? If the new Recons are 20% stronger, if I want to get a 6-weight rod should I order a 5-weight? A tip from a listener (with a caution from Tom) about using micro spikes for wading How can I easily get the hook out of trout and still keep them in the water when they struggle? I saw an otter on the river and got skunked. Do the fish vacate an area when an otter is around? My knots keep slipping and fish were breaking off with various highly-regarded knots. What do you think happened? How can I fish a big articulated streamer upstream without the fly fouling? A tip from a listener on just slipping cones on the leader above a streamer to get them to sink faster.
