Travel Wisdom friend Andrew Miles of Botanical Biohacking talks about how to keep healthy while travelling. Especially long flights can be quite harmful to your sleep, your gut microbiome, and ultimately your health. He infuses some Eastern wisdom explained in a Western way so that you don't become more unhealthy after travelling. The key is to train your body and eat as little as possible before travelling. Then when you arrive you need to get on the same eating schedule (breakfast, lunch, dinner) as the local population as soon as possible. He also notes that there are more important things than health including maintaining strong social contacts.

Andrew Miles of Botanical Biohacking is a friend of the show and he is back to talk about language learning. He has learned Chinese and Szechuanese to a very high level over the many years of his travel there.  This is Travel Wisdom so it wouldn't be complete without a language episode! In this episode, Andrew gives some funny advice on how to make friends that think you speak fluently, which is better than actually speaking fluently!! Tips include speaking with lower class people due to their smaller vocabulary, learning colors early, and having a few really funny colloquial expressions to sprinkle in now and then.

Are you ready for some Ladan travel wisdom? My guest today is a multi-passionate wanderer, polyglot, and host of the Travel Wisdom Podcast.  He brings his experience from travel in over 100 countries..... Please welcome Ladan Jiracek to the show! Today you'll hear a mix of topics including: How to go to college in Europe for 50x less than it costs to go in the states The advantages and disadvantages of solo travel The definition of wisdom and how that relates to travel Tips on meeting locals when you travel 3 best pieces of advice for someone who wants to visit 100 or more countries Benefits of learning a language for travelers Tune In To Learn: One of the most underrated skills for traveling How to create a whole new identity and way of thinking Ways to go deeper into a country How to use travel as a vehicle for learning Why everyone should travel How to take the power back (in life and travel) And so much more Resources: Pimsleur Learning- free 7 day trial (for those based in the USA) Skyscanner Memrise Duolingo Teach Yourself italki Hospitality Club Couchsurfing Travel Wisdom Podcast Meetup Helpx Workaway Be sure to check out the archives now for more Zero To Travel Podcasts.

Since then she was determined to get medical breakthroughs, such as the one that eventually let her have a normal life. This interview was edited so that it fits with the Travel Wisdom theme but we also talked about Brain Implants in my other show, Neural Implant podcast

Welcome to the introductory episode of the Neural Implant podcast. I talk about the goals and aims of this podcast, to interview the leaders in the Brain Machine Interface field. The idea is to bring together the field of neuroprosthetics (brain machine interfaces? brain implants?) in an understandable conversation about the current topics and breakthroughs. I hope to replace needing to read scientific papers on new research in an easy to digest way so people can share thoughts or ideas to facilitate 'idea sex.' This will make the field of brain implants a smaller and more personal space About me, Ladan Jiracek: I am a recent Masters graduate in the field of Nanobiophysics with an undying passion for brain implants. I did an internship at Blackrock Microsystems many years ago and saw the potential in this field. My ultimate goal is to facilitate incredible learning like in the 'Matrix' so that people can download skills. I am also the host of another podcast, Travel Wisdom, about how travel can be more than a vacation but a learning experience. Through this I learned about the power of podcasts to meet and connect people in amazing ways!

Culture is one of the first things you might notice while you travel. While culture shock is a sizable and impactful thing, experiencing other cultures is vital to travel and vital to humanity as a whole. Learning about culture while traveling can help you learn about those that you share the world with, as well as learning more about yourself. Ladan Jiracek visits this week from his own podcast, the Travel Wisdom podcast. He has been to over ninety countries and loves to think about how travel can be a chance to learn. He and Hayden discuss how to learn from travel and how to find purpose and meaning from your adventures while traveling. They also have an in-depth talk about how important it can be to learn a language while traveling. Ladan also mentions that relationship cultures are among the most drastic differences he has found internationally. The two of them agree that exploring cultures outside of one’s own society is vital. Ladan also shares what he believes has been holding people back from traveling, while Hayden brings up the topic of podcasts and their impact on the travel world. They talk about one-upping, travel as a learning experience, the impact of certain countries, and their thoughts on marriage and children. Ladan discusses his time in Georgia, as well. “Cheating Death and Hitchhiking Africa,” Ladan’s tale of how difficult it can be to get from point A to point B, is full of conflict and twists. One summer, Ladan and his friends decided to hitchhike across Africa, and one thing after another started to go wrong while they were crossing the desert on a twelve-hour road trip into Somalia. Without water and with far too much sand, Ladan remembers vividly how journeying to Somalia was wrought with strife and amusing troubles. Culture is the most vital part of national identity. It is the root of language, of tradition, and of daily life in communities all around the world. Getting to know the cultures around you, and the cultures around the world, can drastically affect not only you as a traveler, but you as a person, as well. 0:55 - Hayden introduces Ladan Jiracek, who hosts the Travel Wisdom podcast, has been to over ninety countries, and loves to think about how travel can be a chance to learn. Ladan discusses how to find the purpose and the meaning behind your travels, as well as how important learning a language can be when traveling. 5:08 - Hayden and Ladan discuss exploring outside of their own societies, and how relationship cultures differ from place to place. Hayden asks Ladan what he has found around the world that he preferred to his own culture. 10:33 - Ladan talks about what he thinks holds people back from traveling. Hayden mentions how podcasts and the dissemination of information can provide a well-rounded perspective on travel and on the world. 13:30 - Ladan starts to tell his story, “Cheating Death and Hitchhiking Africa,” his go-to travel story. During the summer semester, Ladan hitchhiked across Africa, and found himself hunched over in a caravan to Somalia. Partway through the trip, they got stuck in the sand, and nobody had water. From there,... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/backpackdigital/message

I'll be reflecting on 2015 and writing some posts about this year soon, and you can also expect some reflection and writing about podcasting, stay tuned and now onto today's episode. "The greatest adventure is having faith in ourselves to accept a challenge" - Jono Lineen I first caught up with Jono Lineen at the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival here in Bali to talk about adventure travel writing. He and I have a ton in common, from our love of Nordork or XC Skiing (he was way better than I am), we love of being outside in the wilderness, and especially a love of human geography - thinking about how people interact with their environment. In this episode, Jono talks about the amazing process of writing his award winning (Best Books of 2014 by Good Reading Magazine) book: Into the Heart of the Himalayas over the course of 12 years to get the final product. The book is the tale of his 5 month walk across the Himalayas from Pakistan to Tibet, but the real story - which he only uncovered after writing many editions of the book - was his journey to come to terms with the death of his younger brother in a freak accident. A major part of adventuring is the way that it changes us, and Jono weaves his story of exploring landscape, encountering people, walking, meditation, and reflection on his own growth that make this episode a deeply spiritual look at walking and adventure. You are going to love this story. Quotes "The environment changes and the environment changes us" - Jono Lineen "One of the greatest adventures of my life was having a family" - Jono Lineen "Movement is something we can use to be better people" - Jono Lineen "When you have a problem, go for a walk" - Jono Lineen "The greatest adventure is having faith in ourselves to accept a challenge" - Jono Lineen "Adventure is built into our DNA" - Jono Lineen "Walking changed human consciousness and physically changed our brains" - Jono Lineen What you will learn in this episode: -How to use a walking meditation for creativity and problem solving -How to write an adventure travel memoir -How to make stories accessible -How people interact with their ecosystem -Jono's writing and editing process -How different rivers of the world affect people and religion Continue the Adventure (Resources from this episode): JonoLineen.Com Curator at the National Museum of Australia Books: Into the Heart of the Himalayas River Trilogy: Travels Down Three of the World's Greatest Rivers   Support the Art of Adventure!

"Achieving a flow state can enhance learning 500%-700%"- Jiro Taylor Jiro Taylor is an adventurer, meditator, surfer, snowboarder, and student of the science and philosophy of flow states. He is the founder of the FlowState Collective, a group for high performing individuals. He is a former headhunter in the finance industry - which he calls his 'Wolf of Wall Street days', where he studied and interacted with peak performers in the banking world. Jiro first found flow on the waves and snow riding boards, and expanded his learning to studying mindfulness side-by-side with zen buddhists monks in Japan. Jiro now teaches flow and meditation as a means of helping high performing individuals enhance their performance, happiness, and full experience of life. In this episode, we are going to tap into his vast wealth of knowledge about the science and spirituality around flow states, and what you can do to get and use flow to enhance your life. I think you are really going to like Jiro, because he is so excited about life and adventure, and has some great stories about his journey. This is a great episode because we take a deep look at understanding the flow state on different levels from the physical to the mental.

What if you had the ability to make big things magically happen? What if you could make people's (including your own) wildest dreams come true? My guest today on the Art of Adventure has a secret process for learning how to ask from something and get a YES, when you would normally expect to get a NO - AKA the Unreasonable Request. Stehpanie Burns is the founder and CEO of Chic CEO. She has been a speaker at SXSW, TEDx, SD Entrepreneur Summit, Female Entrepreneur: The Gender Advantage... and more. Some of her big unreasonable requests wins are free or heavily discounted venue space for her favorite charity and an all expenses paid Ruby on Rails coding course and vacation in Bali. Stephanie has coached me in making unreasonable requests as well: Some of the things that I have gotten in the last few months as a result of using the unreasonable requests process are: a free scenic train tour of New Zealand, free concert tickets, a party thrown for my birthday for my favorite local charity, a week-long luxury retreat, and free mentorship, to name a few. I think you will find this a fascinating look at our own beliefs, and how we can harness the power of continual challenge. This is the episode for you if you have wild dreams and want to turn them into reality, or if there is anything you really want that could help your life or business, but you aren't sure how you can make it happen. Quotes: "Find what you have that other people need" - Stephanie Burns "How willing are you to be uncomfortable?"- Stephanie Burns "You are not always going to get a yes"- Stephanie Burns "Once you get a yes, you realize there are no limits"- Stephanie Burns "Can I go up one more level than where I am right now?"- Stephanie Burns "To provide value, you have to know your value"- Stephanie Burns "Sometimes it is easier to do a big ask for someone else"- Stephanie Burns "Adventure is anything that excites me that is new and challenging"- Stephanie Burns "The right education would solve the major problems of the world"- Stephanie Burns What you will learn in this episode: -How to ask for things even when you expect a no -How to know the value you bring -How to get travel, courses, hotel stays, events, venues and more for free -How to get comfortable being uncomfortable -How to get over feeling stupid or feeling like a jerk -How to treat an unreasonable request like an experiment -How to do an unreasonable request for someone else -How to figure out what people need Continue the Adventure: Chic CEO About Stephanie Burns Thanks Stephanie Burns!

On this week’s episode, I answer listener questions about time-travel and my switch from comedy to whatever it is that I do now.   Would you rather go into the future to meet your great grandchildren, or travel backward and meet your great grandparents? If I went into the future to meet my great grandchildren, I wouldn’t learn anything from them that will change my life and in turn allow me to change their lives. The best I could do is try to convince them to do something or not do something. If I went back into time, I think it would give me a lot of insight as to why my family dynamic came along the pathway that it did.   Wisdom is a little beyond knowledge. I hear people say, “My grandparent was such a wise person,” and then turn around and ask where all the wise people are today. Technology makes things so fast and allows for an amazing flow of knowledge and information. However, I really believe wisdom requires quiet and time.   How did you know when it was time to change speaking platforms from comedy to what you do now? I had always been interested in communicating something, but there was no way that I could be just a speaker in my twenties. I’m not saying that people in their twenties can’t provide wisdom. Comedy was just my way of being on stage.   I can remember when I was on tour with Kenny Rogers, and we started talking about Jones and the Seven Decisions. He said that I should put some of the Seven Decisions talk in my show between jokes. Slowly I kept adding in a little more, and eventually more people were talking about the “serious” bits that I did. It kind of shifted on its own. It’s a strange platform but it’s fun and flexible. If you want to see a blend of my comedic side with my serious side, you should check out my DVD Not Normal: The Power to Be Different. It’s a live presentation of some of my funniest and most inspirational material.   Questions for Listeners Do you have a question?
