Podcasts about travel tips

Do you learn a few words of the local language before traveling to another country?Even knowing how to say hello, please and thank you can make a difference.But learning a little more can open the door to deeper connections with the people you meet along the way.In this episode, I'm joined by Margherita Berti, founder of Italian Matters, to talk about how learning and using the local language can lead to a more meaningful travel experience.Margherita grew up in Bergamo, Italy, and has spent years studying languages, linguistics and how we actually learn to communicate in another language.She shares practical tips for learning before you travel, from flashcards and podcasts to music, movies and the shadowing technique.We also talk about which words and phrases are most useful, why it helps to prepare for situations you know you'll encounter, and how to get past the fear of making a mistake and actually speak the language once you're there.Because you don't need to be fluent.And you definitely don't need to be perfect.Sometimes simply making the effort to speak a few words in the local language can create a connection — and become one of those moments you remember long after the trip is over.In this episode:1:10: Intro1:53: About Margherita Berti4:02: Italy to Indiana10:24: Various learning tools16:04: Key phrases to learn18:01: Understanding creates connection19:40: Using translating apps22:51: Teaching English speakers27:31: Advice for confident speaking33:44: Margherita's final tips & thoughts36:18: Lynne's final tips & thoughts41:10: Wrapping it upImportant links:Italian MattersWander Your WayWander Your Way AdventuresWander Your Way ResourcesSafety WingTips For Traveling in Another Language ★ Support this podcast ★

Welcome to episode one of a four-part Unpacked series on Dubai travel: the history, the ambition, and the glamorous, multicultural city it's become today. In this episode, host Aislyn Greene and the Dubai-based travel writer Nicola Chilton set the stage: They walk through how a fishing village and pearling outpost became one of the fastest-changing cities on Earth—and what it's actually like on the ground today. Halfway through, Aislyn hands the mic to Nicola—who will host the remaining three episodes—for a conversation with her longtime friend, Sahar Parham Al Awadhi, an Emirati chef born and raised in Dubai. They take a deeper dive into the city's history along Dubai Creek: the abra boats, the spice trade, and the neighborhoods where "old Dubai" is still very present. Together, they set up the rest of this Dubai series: three more episodes on the city's architecture, food, and culture, all filmed in the same studio, so you can watch as well as listen on YouTube. This week's guests Nicola Chilton is a UK-born travel writer who has lived in Dubai for more than a decade and will be hosting the rest of this series. Sahar Parham Al Awadhi is an Emirati chef, the first Emirati chef at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, and the founder of Abra, a new restaurant inside Dubai's Etihad Museum. Plan your own Dubai trip First, begin with these essential Afar resources, including the best hotels to book (and why hotels are so much more than a place to stay), a guide to the evolving food scene, and how to spend four days in Dubai, according to locals. Where to stay, what to do, and what to eat from this episode Jumeirah Beach — base yourself here for easy access to Dubai's best hotels, restaurants, and free public beaches. Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab — opened just over a year ago, directly across from the iconic Burj Al Arab. Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort — about an hour from the coast, inside the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, where gazelles and Arabian oryx wander past your private plunge pool. Dubai Creek — hop an abra, the little wooden boats that cross between Bur Dubai and Deira, for about 30 cents. Al Fahidi historical neighborhood and Al Shindagha Museum — Bur Dubai's restored old neighborhoods, now galleries, cafés, and museum houses. Karak tea — Dubai's ubiquitous, inexpensive spiced milk tea, best bought roadside from a canteen window. Abra — Sahar Parham Al Awadhi's new restaurant inside the Etihad Museum⁠, built around “new Emirati cuisine.” XVA Hotel — a boutique stay inside a heritage house near Dubai Creek, with its own gallery and café. Arabian Boutique Hotel — another heritage-building stay near the water, home to Arabian Fish House. One&Only One Za'abeel — for skyline views from one of Dubai's newest towers. Hatta — a mountainous exclave about 90 minutes from the city, popular with residents for hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking.

Episode 190 features Erin Kilpatrick sharing how she has built a fully nomadic lifestyle around points, miles, and travel. After selling her home, car, and belongings and moving to Ecuador in 2023, Erin has spent the past several years living one to three months at a time in different countries. Award travel is a major part of making that lifestyle possible, covering roughly 80% of her flights and 30% of her lodging, while she also maximizes credit-card offers, shopping portals, credits, and other opportunities. The episode also covers current points-and-miles news, including changes to the Chase Aeroplan card, Hyatt ending its American Airlines partnership and adding Delta, and elevated Hilton card welcome offers with free-night certificates.A major focus is Erin's strategy for buying hotel points. She emphasizes that this is not a beginner strategy and should only be used when the math clearly works for a specific redemption. Using a Melbourne Choice Hotels stay as an example, she bought points at 0.57 cents each, reducing a $165 cash rate to about $85.50 in points. She also discusses buying points during unusually low-priced sales, while acknowledging the risks of devaluations and poor redemption values. Erin highlights several under-the-radar destinations she enjoyed, including Penrith in England, Alicante in Spain, and Sofia, Bulgaria.The episode also takes a nuanced look at AI in travel planning. Erin avoids using AI for tasks where established tools are more reliable, such as award searches, points tracking, exact transportation schedules, and precise directions. Instead, she sees AI as a brainstorming partner for building itineraries, researching neighborhoods and transportation options, troubleshooting, and visualizing complicated travel plans. The episode wraps up with advice on renting a car in Ireland, emphasizing the importance of reading rental and credit-card insurance policies carefully, confirming coverage, and obtaining the proper documentation before arriving at the rental counter.Episode Links:Delta/Hyatt partnershipAeroplan card refreshHilton Business card- New offerWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our April 2027 Meetup in Nashville now. award.travel/bna2027Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

The episode is useful if you care about cruise line differences, private islands, food quality, port logistics, and how loyalty status and onboard programs can change the experience.

In this Q&A episode, Kristina answers common questions submitted by the Life Rewired community. She covers proper fiber ranges, what to actually eat before and after a workout, including timing, food combinations, and how flexible the so-called anabolic window really is. She also tackles how to approach food and tracking on a bachelorette weekend, offering simple guardrails that keep things balanced without having FOMO on your special weekend.The episode also covers a question from a listener dealing with chronic bloating, distention, and changes in digestion following a stretch of disrupted sleep and eating, even with no real change in diet.

Traveling with a neurodivergent child can feel overwhelming for many families… especially when sensory needs, routines, mobility challenges, or accessibility concerns are involved. In this episode of the Autism Family Resource Podcast, Brian Keene sits down with Teresa Roddy, an accessible travel specialist and occupational therapy assistant, to talk about how families can make travel feel more realistic, supportive, and enjoyable. Teresa shares how she helps families plan around real-life needs including sensory sensitivities, adaptive equipment, mobility accommodations, dietary restrictions, and communication supports. She also shares practical strategies families can use to reduce stress while traveling, including pacing vacations differently, preparing ahead of time, and building around a child's comfort needs rather than forcing packed schedules. This conversation is a reassuring reminder that meaningful family experiences are possible… and that families do not have to figure everything out alone. Topics Covered Sensory-friendly travel planning for autistic children Accessible travel accommodations and adaptive equipment Vacation strategies for families with disabilities How to reduce travel stress for neurodivergent children Comfort items and regulation support while traveling Why slowing down can improve family vacations Practical ways to prepare children before trips Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 02:30 Accessible travel and sensory accommodations 06:50 How Teresa plans trips around family needs 10:15 Common barriers families face with travel 13:05 Tips for avoiding overstimulation while traveling 15:20 Final encouragement for families Memorable Quote "Sometimes slowing down… taking breaks… and building around your child's comfort needs can completely change the experience for the whole family."

What if traveling more slowly isn't about how much time you have, but how you choose to use that time?In this episode, I'm joined by Renee Hannes of Dream Plan Experience to talk about slow travel, intentional travel and the joy of returning to places we've already visited.We chat about why asking “How do I want this trip to feel?” can completely change the way you plan, how leaving more unplanned time can lead to some of your favorite travel memories, and why you don't have to see everything on one trip.We also delve into the benefits of revisiting destinations — one of my favorite things to do.Returning to a place you love gives you the chance to peel back another layer, discover something you missed the first (or second) time and experience it through a completely different lens.And Renee and I share a few simple ways to incorporate slow travel into your next trip to Europe — even if you only have a week or two.If you're ready to travel with a little more intention and a little less rushing, be sure to tune in.Want to chat more about slow travel?Send me a message at Lynne@WanderYourWay.com.In this episode:2:28: Renee Hannes' bio5:40: Renee's travel story rooted in Germany12:08: Starting a travel business15:55: Tuscany retreat17:40: Mindset for slow travel27:17: Revisiting places39:07: Same place, new discoveries50:00: Revisiting places is for some and not for others55:25: Final thoughts from Renee57:40: Some final thoughts from Lynne1:01:28: Wrapping it upImportant links:Dream Plan ExperienceSlow Travel10 Helpful Things I Wish More Travelers Knew About EuropeWander Your WayWander Your Way AdventuresWander Your Way ResourcesEagle Creek ★ Support this podcast ★

No one looks for difficulties in life; they just come. And storms come in many forms—some are physical, others are emotional, many are spiritual. This well-known story of Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee holds several helpful guidelines for those of us navigating problems.I. Accept the Regularity (v. 35a)II. Look for the Promises (v. 35b)III. Invite Jesus Into Your Boat (vv. 36-37)IV. Take Your Cues From Him (v. 38)V. Swap Fear for Faith (vv. 39-40)VI. Find the Purpose (v. 41)Learn Your Bible: Meditate on Isaiah 41:9-10 this week and rest in the knowledge that, no matter what storms you're walking through, Jesus is walking with you.Love Your Neighbor: Ask a friend or loved one who's going through a storm of their own how you can help strengthen and encourage them.Live in Freedom: Ask the Lord to reveal areas of your life in which you're allowing fear to overshadow your faith and obstruct your obedience to Him.

#243 - Waiting for the “right” time to travel can quietly turn into years of missed memories. I sat down with Dustin Tichenor, an Indianapolis dad who works a physically demanding warehouse job, to talk about what actually makes a family adventure meaningful when budgets are tight and life is busy.We get honest about the pressure many parents carry, especially when you didn't have the family example you wanted growing up. Dustin shares how that pressure can make you feel like a trip only counts if it's a big-name destination, and how he learned that kids often want something simpler: a surprise, a change of scenery, a hotel pool, and parents who are fully present. Along the way, we talk practical, real-world affordable family travel: driving instead of flying, building weekend getaways within a few hours, using coolers and microwaves to cut food costs, and looking for free attractions like zoos or underrated roadside stops.Dustin also opens up about starting his travel resource “Can We Go There” and theCWGT.com, learning the ropes with late nights, trial and error, and a lot of persistence. If you're craving budget road trips, mini vacations, and a mindset shift toward memories over destinations, this one will hit home.Subscribe for more stories like this, share the episode with a parent who needs a push, and leave a rating or review so more people can find the show.

#242 - A “perfect” itinerary can still produce a forgettable trip. What actually makes travel stick is the human stuff: the meal you can't stop describing, the guide who made you laugh, the neighborhood you wandered without a plan, the courage it took to go even though you felt nervous. I spoke with Eleanor from Elevate Your Escapes, an award-winning travel advisor and blogger who's been to 70 countries and helps hundreds of clients each year plan vacations, honeymoons, cruises, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures. She is also at Top 30 First Mate (Travel Agent) with Virgin Voyages.Eleanor shares how she went from a late start with travel to taking a first big leap with a group trip plus solo time in Costa Rica, and how that blend can be a powerful entry point for anyone curious about solo travel. We get honest about loneliness versus being alone, the small choices that create connection on the road, and why Europe keeps pulling her back, especially Greece and Spain for culture, history, and food. If you love cultural travel and foodie travel, her perspective is packed with practical ideas.We also go behind the scenes on building a travel business. Eleanor explains why Elevate Your Escapes began as a blog idea, how the agency side unexpectedly snowballed, and what changed when she finally went full-time after a layoff gave her the runway to try. She breaks down what travelers don't expect, like cruise port changes, tendering, and European train strikes, plus why travel insurance matters more than most people think.If you're planning your next trip and want it to feel meaningful, not rushed, you'll leave with a clearer definition of “unforgettable” and a better way to design travel around who you are.

Hey, Heal Squad! It's another edition of What Worked This Week, and this one might be Maria's favorite yet. Fresh off her trip to Greece, she's sharing the biggest lesson she didn't expect to learn: sometimes the best things happen when you stop planning every minute and leave room for life to surprise you. From a spontaneous visit to the healing island of Tinos to setting healthier boundaries with herself, Maria explains why protecting your peace might be the key to finding yourself again. She also shares her favorite Greece travel recommendations (including the breathtaking Odera Hotel and why Tinos belongs on your bucket list)!, why stargazing, family time, and meaningful conversations ended up being the most memorable parts of the trip, and how even work felt different once she stopped rushing and let her vacation unfold naturally. Plus, she's rounding up all the practical things that actually worked this week…travel wise! Like,  the viral Sudoku Packing Method that helped her pack lighter, Kevin's portable cooling fan that became her travel MVP, and the simple circadian rhythm trick she swears helped her beat jet lag. She also shares the sweet language hack that had Athena speaking more Greek than ever before! Such a fun update on life right now for Maria and we hope you enjoy it!
