Over the span of four months, several small bands of Nez Perce tried in vain to escape the clutches of the United States government. Traveling over a one thousand miles, hundreds of Nez Perce outmaneuvered the military, only to be forced into surrender less than one hundred miles from the Canadian border. What brought on the conflict between the two sides? And why does the Nez Perce fly under the radar? Tune in to find out. Support the show

Send us a textWeekend energy, ship-sized. We take you aboard Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas to show how a three or four-night sailing can feel like a full vacation without the rush. From the moment we hit the Pesky Parrot for a frozen welcome, we map the best paths through five pools, the neon Boardwalk, and the lush calm of Central Park—so you spend less time wandering and more time making memories.We break down cabin choices with real tradeoffs. Boardwalk balconies bring the show to you with Aqua Theater views and people-watching for days, while Central Park balconies swap spectacle for quiet cocktails under soft lights. Ocean views deliver timeless horizon therapy, and suites step into a different world: Solarium Suites, Aqua Theater Suites, and Coastal Kitchen perks that turn mornings into rituals. If you're debating the world's biggest weekend vs a longer trip, the right room can tip the scale.Food is where Utopia surprises most. Park Café hides a warm-panini-and-carvery secret that regulars swear by, and it's complimentary. When you're ready to splurge, Chops serves a spoon-tender filet, 150 Central Park courts purists, and Giovanni's brings family-style comfort and a Marsala that sticks in your memory. Azumi spans hibachi, sushi, and a park-side counter; late-night specials keep costs sane. Royal Railway steals the spotlight: an immersive dinner staged like a moving train, where the windows become part of the story. It's a “tell your friends” experience worth planning around.We also share tactics that protect your time. Friday–Monday sailings bring a lively crowd; Monday–Friday rides smoother. On Coco Cay days, either go early or enjoy an almost private pool deck onboard. Catch the Rising Tide bar's gentle lift, the parrot's one-liners, and the Aqua Theater's tightrope-and-dive spectacle. Traveling with a group? Onboard credit, quick meetups, and flexible plans keep everyone happy without herding cats. Short sailings work when you lock a few anchors and leave space for surprise.Ready to turn a long weekend into a real reset? Follow, subscribe, and drop your Utopia questions or favorite hacks—we'll feature the best in a future show.Support the showFollow us on Instagram @spacecoastpodcastSponsor this show Want to watch our shows? https://youtube.com/@spacecoastpodcast

This is Episode 2 of the Abrahamic Starter Kit, where we lay out what Scripture actually calls the primary mission of men: marry, multiply, and fill the earth. We return to Genesis 1 and 1 Corinthians 7 to challenge the idea that marriage and children are optional, secondary, or a distraction from “real” ministry. They aren't. They are central to God's design. Whether you're single, married, or already a dad, this episode resets the vision for family, fruitfulness, and legacy. We talk practically about how marriage must function differently when dominion—not comfort—is the goal. If you're ready to stop drifting with culture and start building something that lasts for generations, this episode will rewire how you see your mission.

Planning an Ireland vacation can feel overwhelming when you start adding up the numbers -but a memorable trip doesn't have to be out of reach. With smart choices and a few intentional trade-offs, travelers can enjoy Ireland fully without overspending. Guinness costs less in a rural pub This article is also available as the Traveling in Ireland podcast, episode 324. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. How to Travel Ireland on a Tighter Budget Without Regret Ireland isn't expensive because of one single thing – it's the accumulation of daily costs. Understanding where money actually matters (and where it doesn't) makes all the difference. What a Realistic Daily Budget Looks Like For travelers watching their spending, typical daily costs (not including flights) often look like this: Budget-conscious travelers: around €130 per day Mid-range comfort: approximately €180 per day Comfort & luxury: €300+ per day That daily spend usually includes accommodations, meals, transportation, and attractions. Knowing this baseline helps travelers decide where to adjust – without sacrificing what they'll remember most. Comfort Matters More Than Luxury Most travelers are happy to skip fancy hotels, upgraded rooms, or city-center addresses. What they won't give up: A good night's sleep Private rooms and quiet locations Comfortable beds and reliable hot water (with good water pressure) Discomfort creates regret, and regret has a way of coloring the entire trip. Local goats cheese with greens and Shepherd's pie Spend Less on Food-But Eat Well Dining is one of the easiest places to adjust spending. Plan fewer, better meals instead of eating out constantly Avoid high-priced areas like Temple Bar for everyday meals and pints Choose accommodations with breakfast outside the cities Use grocery shops or petrol stations for casual lunches or picnic supplies Saving money on food isn't about deprivation – it's about choosing when the experience really matters. Guide to Eating Well During Your Ireland Vacation Stay Outside the Most Expensive Areas Staying just outside major hubs can significantly reduce accommodation costs. Villages near Dublin connected by DART or bus offer better value Rural areas near popular spots like Killarney, Dingle, or County Clare beyond Doolin often cost less The trade-off is time and logistics. Distance is flexible; complicated transportation and missed evenings in local pubs are not. Off-Season Travel: Big Savings, Different Rhythm Traveling outside peak season can mean:Pros Lower airfare and accommodation costs Fewer crowds Easier access to popular sites Cons Shorter daylight hours (often 8 hours or less in winter) Cooler, wetter weather Reduced hours or closures at smaller attractions Off-season trips suit flexible travelers, repeat visitors, and those who enjoy a slower pace. Transportation: Money vs. Time Public transportation is affordable, but it comes with trade-offs: Limited access in rural areas Longer travel times Less flexibility if plans change It works best for city-based itineraries with structured day trips. Renting a car costs more -but saves time and opens up more of the countryside. Flights: Cheapest Isn't Always the Best Deal Bare-bones airfare can backfire once baggage fees, seat selection, or change costs are added. Look for fares that include a checked bag and flexibility Learn typical pricing so true deals stand out Flexibility upfront often saves money later Flight search & fare tools for Ireland Flight monitoring & booking strategy (best timing for fixed dates) Ross Castle in Killarney Free Experiences & the OPW Heritage Card Ireland offers an incredible range of free experiences: Natural landscapes, hikes, and ruins National museums in Dublin and Castlebar One of the best values for travelers is the OPW Heritage Card, which often pays for itself in six or seven visits. It covers many top sites, including: Rock of Cashel Glendalough Visitor Centre Newgrange Kilmainham Gaol OPW Heritage Card (access to top historic sites) Irish heritage sites (the most popular + often overlooked) Used thoughtfully, it shapes a relaxed itinerary instead of becoming a checklist. Souvenirs That Actually Matter Travelers are moving away from mass-produced trinkets and toward: One or two meaningful items (jewelry, wool, crafts) Consumables like Irish chocolate or whiskey Memory-keepers like journals with ticket stubs and photos (the spiral bound My Ireland Vacation Planner & Journal is perfect for this!) The goal isn't proof of travel – it's connection and memories. Where Travelers Most Often Have Regrets After the trip, regrets rarely come from spending money. They usually come from: Overly long driving days Skipping a must-do experience Choosing poor accommodations What travelers don't regret: A truly great meal Staying somewhere special (yes, castles count) Buying a meaningful souvenir Saving money should never come at the cost of time – because time doesn't come back. Traveling Ireland on a tighter budget isn't about being cheap. It's about being intentional, returning home with great memories, and not wishing you'd done things differently.

In this episode, I'm coming to you a little tired, very real, and recording late from my hotel room in New York City.I almost skipped recording this week, but consistency has been a big focus for me in 2026, especially with the podcast. So instead of a perfectly planned episode, I'm sharing an off-the-cuff check-in and some behind-the-scenes of what's been going on lately.I talk about traveling between Portland, Oregon and New York City, speaking at events, college visits with my oldest son, and pulling off a big surprise for my dad by officially joining Rotary. I also share why community, face-to-face connection, and taking the online offline feels more important than ever right now.I give a preview of my upcoming talk at Inman Connect in New York, where I'm sharing what's actually working on Instagram right now, especially when it comes to Reels, Stories, and DMs. If you're a real estate agent or business owner who doesn't want to be a full-time content creator, this conversation is for you.We also talk about navigating social media during heavy or uncertain times, leaning into who you are instead of chasing trends, and why no app, tool, or AI can ever replace you.This episode is part personal check-in, part behind-the-scenes, and part reminder that real connection still matters.In this episode, we cover:Why I almost skipped recording this podcast (and why I didn't)Traveling for speaking gigs and college visitsSpeaking at Inman Connect New YorkWhat's actually working on Instagram right nowReels, Stories, and DMs for real estate professionalsWhy connection beats perfection on social mediaTaking the online offline in 2026Joining Rotary and getting involved in local communityNavigating content during heavy or uncertain timesWhy there's no app or AI tool that can replace youIf you enjoyed this episode, I'd love to hear from you.

In this solo episode, Valeria shares why she's intentionally choosing a quieter year, and what that really looks like in a world that constantly asks us to be louder, faster, and more visible. She reflects on her approach to 2026 - why she doesn't want it to be a “bigger” year, and how focusing on less distraction has brought her more clarity and joy. She also recaps a recent trip to the Dominican Republic with her boys, opening up about how different traveling feels now that her kids are older. And how those slower, more present moments reminded her of what truly matters. Throughout the episode, she shares practical shifts she's making - like using the Be Present app, protecting offline moments, and choosing opportunities that expand her life, not just her calendar. From living more offline and rethinking her relationship with social media, to finding balance as a creator whose work exists online, Valeria explores the tension between visibility and peace. And why not everything meaningful needs an audience while it's forming? This is a good listen for anyone craving more calm, fewer distractions, and a slower, more intentional way of living.

iShowSpeed's trip was not just a touristic excursion; it was a deep dive into the heart of African culture. From savoring local cuisines to participating in traditional rituals, he embraced the essence of each community he visited. This openness was celebrated by many, as it showcased the beauty and diversity of African traditions. However, it also raises questions about the spiritual dimensions of such experiences.2. Understanding Rituals and Spiritual Practices: As Phonchrist highlights, when visiting tribes, rituals often play a central role. While these practices can be enchanting, they also come with layers of significance that may not be immediately understood by outsiders. For example, the communal sharing of food and participation in ceremonies can be seen as a welcoming gesture, but they might also involve deeper spiritual connotations that require respect and understanding. As viewers, it's essential to recognize that not everything is as idyllic as it appears on camera.3. The Importance of Spiritual Protection: Phonchrist raises an important point about spiritual safety during such interactions. Traveling to different cultures and engaging in their rituals can expose individuals to spiritual energies that may be unfamiliar. The concern for High Show Speed's spiritual well-being is valid; he opened himself up to experiences that could have lasting effects. Whether through prayer or mindfulness, ensuring spiritual protection is crucial for anyone embarking on a similar journey.4. A Call for Awareness and Respect: While High Show Speed's intentions were rooted in love and discovery, it's vital for travelers to approach other cultures with a sense of responsibility. Immersion in rituals should not be taken lightly, as they may carry historical and spiritual weight. Being aware of the implications of one's actions in foreign cultures fosters respect and understanding, enriching the overall experience for both travelers and hosts.Conclusion: iShow Speed's journey through Africa offers a unique perspective on cultural exploration, but it also serves as a reminder of the spiritual dimensions of such experiences. As we celebrate the beauty of diverse cultures, we must also approach them with awareness and respect. The key takeaways from this discussion include the importance of understanding local rituals, the need for spiritual protection, and the call for responsible cultural engagement. Let us continue to appreciate the richness of global traditions while remaining mindful of their deeper meanings.

Life is perpetually, endlessly filled with change: new jobs and new loves, unfamiliar places and faces. And entwined in that change is loss: loss of what was or is, or what could have been. Amid this shifting landscape, author Ann Tashi Slater has found power in embracing impermanence through the Tibetan Buddhist belief in the intermediate state of bardo. * In this episode, Ann is joined in an illuminating conversation with CIIS Professor in Transformative Inquiry Fernando Ona. Ann shares insights from her latest book, Traveling in Bardo, and examines bardo in relation to marriage, friendships, parents, children, work and creativity along with stories of her Tibetan ancestors and the Buddhist teachings on the fleeting nature of existence. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on September 18th, 2025.

This episode delves into the profound journey of personal reinvention, exemplified by Emmanuel Laroche's transformative experiences in Madagascar. What began as a professional endeavor in the realm of food ingredients and marketing evolved into a deeper exploration of identity, creativity, and purpose, culminating in his new book, "A Taste of Madagascar." Through his travels, Emmanuel discovered the rich tapestry of human connection, tradition, and craftsmanship that inform culinary practices—elements often overshadowed by marketing metrics. He shares insights into the lives of farmers and artisans, revealing the intricate processes behind the ingredients that grace our kitchens. This discussion highlights the duality of professional life and creative expression, underscoring the importance of curiosity and engagement in understanding our world and the stories that shape us.Takeaways:Life transitions can emerge not solely from crises but also through unexpected experiences, such as discovering new flavors that challenge our perspectives.Traveling for professional purposes can transform into profound personal journeys that redefine our understanding of work and creativity.The journey to Madagascar revealed the intricate relationship between tradition, craftsmanship, and the human connections inherent in food production.Writing a book that intertwines culinary culture, anthropology, and personal stories can illuminate the often-overlooked voices of farmers and artisans in the global food narrative.Engaging with local communities while traveling enriches our understanding of the cultural significance behind the ingredients we often take for granted.It is imperative to remain curious and open-minded, as this curiosity fosters deeper connections with the people and places we encounter on our journeys.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

If you've spent any time researching Ireland trips online, you may have noticed a strange pattern: different companies, different websites… and yet the itineraries feel almost identical. There's a reason for that, and it goes back much further than modern travel trends. Why Ireland itineraries follow the same routes Ireland's most familiar travel routes weren't designed with today's vacation style in mind. They were created as efficient ways to move people through the country using the transportation that already existed. In the early 1900s, Ireland didn't yet have a tourism industry as we know it today. What it did have was rail, and soon after, bus travel. By the 1930s, Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) began offering some of Ireland's first organized touring routes. These weren't built around lingering in places or slow travel. They were logistical solutions. The main questions were practical: How do you move people efficiently? How do you show them the country using existing infrastructure? How do you make it work for the greatest number of travelers? Those early routes worked remarkably well – and that's part of the problem. How early transport shaped today's “must-see” stops Once those touring routes were established, certain places naturally became regular stops. Not always because they were the only places worth seeing, but because they fit neatly along the route. Take the journey between the Cliffs of Moher and Killarney. Adare sits conveniently along that path, making it an easy place to pause. Over time, it became known as one of Ireland's prettiest villages – a reputation reinforced by decades of repeat visits. Dublin and Galway evolved into touring hubs for similar reasons. They were connected by rail as early as the mid-19th century, later by bus, making them logical anchor points for traveling west and then looping back again. Some places were already well known long before organized tours existed: The Cliffs of Moher had been a beauty spot since the 1830s, when Cornelius O'Brien built his tower and hosted social gatherings on the cliffs. Ladies View in Killarney gained fame after Queen Victoria's 1861 visit, when her ladies-in-waiting admired the sweeping view over the lakes. None of these locations became popular by accident. But once they were woven into early touring routes, they stayed there — reused, repeated, and passed down generation after generation. How those routes shaped what Ireland is “known for” As those early itineraries became the template, they influenced far more than bus tours. The places along those routes became the Ireland that was photographed, written about, and shared around the world. Over time, they shifted from being convenient stops to being seen as the definitive Ireland experience. They became: The “must-see” locations The places travelers felt they had to visit to say they'd really been to Ireland That's why, even today, most visitors still follow the same general framework – the same bones that were laid down nearly a century ago. Seeing Ireland differently without missing the magic That doesn't mean the well-known sights aren't worth visiting. They absolutely are. The Cliffs of Moher, Killarney National Park, Galway, and Dublin are popular for good reason. But after years of traveling Ireland and planning trips for others, one thing becomes clear: there are many places across the country where travelers can have very similar experiences without the crowds, the constant packing and unpacking, or the feeling of racing the clock. The best Ireland vacations usually include a mix: Iconic locations that live up to their reputation Lesser-visited places that offer space, depth, and a more relaxed pace Planning an Ireland trip that feels intentional Rather than starting with “Where does everyone go?”, a more satisfying approach begins with how you want to experience Ireland. That's the idea behind the Ireland Travel Compass — a planning system built around a five-step process that helps travelers design trips that are truly their own. Instead of inheriting an old touring route, the focus shifts to: Smaller regions Less driving Deeper experiences More time actually enjoying where you are The Compass includes a detailed planning map with more than 300 points across Ireland, featuring: Castles you can visit — and castles you can stay in Historic sites and heritage experiences Accommodations, dining, and tour recommendations Activities ranging from history and culture to animal encounters Every recommendation is based on firsthand travel experience and years of working directly with families and independent travelers. It's especially helpful for travelers who don't want to see everything in one trip — and understand that Ireland is best explored over multiple visits. If an Ireland vacation that feels thoughtful instead of rushed sounds appealing, the Ireland Travel Compass offers a way to step outside the inherited routes and create something that fits you. Traveling in Ireland podcast episode 323 The post Why So Many Ireland Itineraries Look the Same (and How to Plan One That Doesn't) appeared first on Ireland Family Vacations.

Fitness does not fall apart when routines change but it does reveal whether your habits are built on consistency or convenience.   Traveling has a way of exposing what really supports fitness and weight loss when normal routines disappear. This episode of The Code looks at how movement, food choices, and daily habits hold up when life feels full and unpredictable. Dr. Andrew Fix draws from a recent family trip to show how disrupted schedules tend to reveal weak points in routines rather than undo progress. Travel becomes a useful lens for understanding which habits still matter when time, energy, and predictability are limited.   The conversation clears up common misconceptions around fat loss and exercise, including the belief that working a specific body part leads to targeted weight loss. Andrew explains why full-body strength work, consistent movement, sleep, recovery, and food choices shape body composition far more than isolated exercises. He also challenges gym comfort zones and repetitive routines, then shares practical ways to maintain fitness while traveling through shorter workouts, smarter timing around meals and drinks, and realistic expectations. The takeaway is simple: fitness and weight loss depend on habits that hold steady even when routines feel optional.   Quotes “We don't lose fat in a spot treatment type of way. We lose fat throughout our entire body.” (03:56 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “When it comes to strength training, we want to use multi-joint exercises that move the majority of the body, the majority of the time, as opposed to focusing on small accessory, single joint movements.” (04:38 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “If nothing changes, then nothing changes, right? And what I mean by that is if you go to the gym and you just continue to frequent the exact same machines, the exact same exercises all the time, then you're not going to likely have a nice well-rounded training of your entire body.” (07:53 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “If this is part of your routine, if this is something that you're doing for yourself to help you look better, feel better, perform and function better, then I encourage you to keep it in your routine.” (16:59 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “Consistency is typically the lever that's gonna win out more than any of the other ones.” (17:25 | Dr. Andrew Fix)   Links SideKick Tool   Movemate: Award-Winning Active Standing Board 15% off Promo Code: DRA15   RAD Roller   Revogreen   HYDRAGUN    Athletic Brewing 20% off: ANDREWF20     Connect with Physio Room: Visit the Physio Room Website Follow Physio Room on Instagram Follow Physio Room on Facebook Andrew's Personal Instagram Andrew's Personal Facebook     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Episode #475: “So many peoples in Myanmar who are fighting for democracy and human rights... they don't get any title or any recognize, but they did what they believed in.” Wut Hmone Win carries a legacy of resistance that began long before her. Her father, a student leader in the 1974 uprising involving U Thant's funeral, was imprisoned for his defiance of Ne Win's regime, and her family lived under surveillance. “The whole life of me and my family is [being] watched by the military,” she says. That experience taught her that freedom always has a cost. Educated in economics in Yangon and Norway, she had once hoped to live an ordinary life, free from politics. But when the 2021 coup struck Myanmar, the safety and democracy she enjoyed in Norway became unbearable reminders of what her people had lost. “I am living in Norway. I feel democracy and freedom and safety here, and human rights,” she says, with the understanding that all of this was lost completely back home. Within days she began organizing protests, helping to found the CRPH Support Group, Norway—a coalition of over twenty-one ethnic and religious organizations fighting for Myanmar's democracy from exile. As General Secretary, she oversees its humanitarian aid programs and international advocacy. “I do need money to support people who are suffering in Myanmar,” she says. “That's my simple strategy… we do need to support human rights… we do need [to be] shouting out loudly effectively.” Wut Hmone Win is critical of diaspora groups that remain confined to their own circles. “They are [remaining] in their own group, and that is a limited amount,” she says, emphasizing the need to reach Norwegians who “don't know about Myanmar.” Traveling beyond Oslo, she holds cultural events in towns like Lillehammer to “show our culture, dancing and then what happened in Myanmar.” For her, crossing those boundaries is how the revolution's voice can truly be heard. “We are standing here like a diaspora group in Norway,” she says. “We do need support, and we do need [recognition] too.”

Zoe gave up her house and her teaching job as a linguist, to fully live her life as a dance. She lives where she works or where people welcome her. Traveling and speaking many languages seem to be part of that dance. As she doesn't have any thoughts about who she is and who she should be, she completely surrenders to the present moment. The present moment is her only permanent companion, her beloved traveling guide, and biggest inspiration in working with people.“It is my wish to inspire people to live their life in the light of the present moment, to transcend the level of the mind and its endless thoughts, and remember who they truly are.”Zoe mostly draws from her own direct spiritual experience. She is also inspired by Advaita Vedanta (non-duality), Sufism (the ultimate reality is Love) and Tantrism (masculine and feminine energy come together in oneness).  She writes articles in two Dutch magazines* and shares her inspiration in the newsletters you find on this website. In 2010 Zoe had her first opening. One night she woke up bursting out laughing.  ‘Living as God!' she said. She realized that believing her thoughts was her only problem.  ‘If I don't believe my thoughts, I become totally available for Life/God to live through this body …' The next morning she started writing and two weeks later she finished the book Living as God. It is still available in Dutch and in English.** Nobody's Dance seems to be the sequel to Living as God. “Back then there was a lot of mental clarity, now there is a much deeper experience of that reality that is Love.”“When we become unattached to our stories, past and future and other fantasies, we become transparent. We remember our true nature and become available for life to dance through us. Our life becomes a Nobody's Dance.”Zoe is a citizen of Belgium but the world is her home. Zoe offers private sessions in person when possible. She also works through online private sessions. The energy doesn't care about distance. She is fluent in Dutch, English and French, and also uses Italian and German to talk to people.For more information about Zoe, visit https://www.zoejoncheere.com

In this powerful episode, Tick Boot Camp Podcast interviews Dr. Karolina Praskeviciute (“Dr. Pras”), a multilingual, European-trained medical doctor who has lived in Lithuania, Hong Kong, London, and the United States, traveled to 89 countries, and now uses her global experience to understand chronic illness from a unique vantage point. Dr. Pras shares her deeply personal story of lifelong unexplained symptoms, childhood mold exposure, a bull's-eye rash at age 15, and a medical system unequipped to recognize chronic tick-borne illness. After a devastating case of early COVID-19 in February 2020, her immune system collapsed, triggering full-blown Lyme disease, Babesia, Bartonella, tick-borne relapsing fever, MCAS, and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). This conversation bridges both sides of medicine—Western and functional—and explores how chronic illness forced Dr. Pras to reevaluate everything she learned as a third-generation physician. She now brings a rare, dual perspective as both clinician and patient. Key Topics Covered ➤ Growing up in Lithuania: culture, safety, freedom & early mold exposure She describes an independent childhood surrounded by nature—but also living in a poorly insulated home with significant hidden mold that triggered early allergies, stomach pain, nosebleeds, and metallic taste. ➤ Medical school awakening: Why Western medicine failed her symptoms Despite coming from a family of doctors, she noticed early on that conventional medicine couldn't explain many of her symptoms—and she witnessed firsthand how chronic illness is minimized, dismissed, or mislabeled. ➤ The first tick bite at 15 & the bull's-eye rash ignored by doctors Despite developing textbook erythema migrans, pediatricians refused treatment. Her mother initiated a short doxycycline course on her own—far too short to prevent chronic Lyme. ➤ Traveling the world & accumulating exposures After living and working across continents, she now believes different strains, microbes, and environmental factors layered into the perfect storm. ➤ Long COVID as the breaking point Like many chronically ill patients, COVID destabilized everything: massive immune dysregulation nonstop inflammation MCAS flares worsening neurological symptoms Lyme and Babesia fully activating ➤ Mold + Lyme + Long COVID = The Perfect Storm Her CIRS diagnosis revealed why she never recovered even after leaving mold exposure—and why immune dysfunction made Lyme treatment far more complex. ➤ Her diagnostic breakthrough with IGeneX After repeated false-negative Western blots, specialty testing finally uncovered: Lyme Babesia Bartonella Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) Immune activation on FISH testing ➤ Treatment: Herbs, LymeStop, detox, keto, and functional medicine Her current regimen includes: Houttuynia (major reduction in joint pain within 1 week) Cryptolepis (powerful antimicrobial requiring slow titration) Custom herbal protocols (single-herb tinctures) HBOT INUSpheresis Light sauna Gentle lymphatic drainage Vagus nerve support Journaling & limbic system retraining Strict ketogenic diet after a 7-day fast dramatically reduced inflammation She also discusses the risks of Botox, fillers, tattoos, and skincare toxins for chronically ill patients. ➤ Nervous system healing as the foundation of recovery She explains why vagus nerve work and limbic retraining may fail if patients are still in toxin exposure (like mold or endotoxins)—a vital distinction rarely discussed. ➤ Becoming a doctor who understands chronic illness from both sides This episode explores: medical defensiveness gaslighting vs unhealthy doctor-patient dynamics why patients must be empowered, not dismissed why doctors also need compassion and realistic expectations how her future clinical practice will integrate empathy, functional medicine, and lived experience Top Quotes From Dr. Pras “I dismissed my own symptoms because I was trained to believe nothing was wrong unless labs proved it.” “Mold was the silent force that weakened my system long before Lyme took over.” “Healing is not linear.

Choosing an Ireland vacation package seems simple enough. You find a deal you like- be it self-drive or guided- and make the purchase. Done. Ireland vacation booked and ready. But it may not be so simple. Airline transfers, car rental, accommodations… they all play a role in the success of your vacation to Ireland. This article is also available as the Traveling in Ireland podcast, episode 324. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Ireland Vacation Packages Explained: What's Included, What's Not, and What Matters Ireland vacation deals are designed to be attractive – but what looks good at first glance may not be the vacation of your dreams. Step 1: Determine what attracted you to the deal Use the tips below to help you avoid Ireland vacation package purchase regret. Vacation packages are often marketed as ‘all or mostly inclusive' – but there are always additional costs. Were you attracted by the price? Cheap Ireland vacations may not be the best deal. You will be able to spot this as you break down the package. Were you attracted by the accommodations? A bit of research into the vacation package will reveal more about your lodging. Were you attracted by the images or description? Dig into the details and see if those places are included in the package or are just ‘suggestions'. Keep in mind what appealed to you as you dig into the deal. Step 2: Check the terms of the vacation package Review what is included in the package- and what is extra. Most vacation package deals show the lowest priced dates. If the dates can be changed how does that afftect the price? How is the vacation package priced? Most are based on 2 people, sharing. If you have a larger group how will you be accommodated (transportation, lodging, etc)? If you are a solo traveler are there extra charges? Be sure to read the terms and conditions! What is the cancellation policy? Might trip insurance be a good idea? (Don't purchase the travel insurance offered with the vacation package without doing your research! Read more about travel insurance for your Ireland vacation here.) Most importantly- who do you contact if you encounter a problem? Step 3: Know where the package will take you Does the package have a set itinerary? Does it take you to places you want to visit? If the package doesn't have an itinerary do you know how to plan what to see and do? (hint: I can help with that!)Free Itineraries – Vacation Coaching Calls – Bespoke Itinerary Creation Step 4: Review your transportation Where do flights depart? Can that be changed and, if so, how does that affect the cost? Can you get to the departure airport without further significant cost? Also note that many packages do not allow accrual of frequent flyer points and that children do not receive a special fare. Is car rental included? If so be aware that in most cases you will have to pay for insurance upon arrival in Ireland. Resource: Car Rental & Driving Guide. Pay close attention to Ireland Car Rental Insurance and Yes You Can Rent a Car if You are Over 70 (if applicable). If your tour is guided check all information on pick up, drop off, and how you will be transported. Also be aware that guided tours do not include a gratuity in the package cost. If your tour includes rail be sure to study a rail map and figure out how you will get from the city hubs into the country to visit the sites you want to see. Read more: Traveling Around Ireland: Trains, Buses, and Automobiles Step 5: Check the accommodations Will you be in a single location or will you be switching accommodation during your trip? Check the drive times to your first night's lodging from the airport and your final night's lodging to the airport. That 2 hour drive may not seem like a lot until you realize your flight from Dublin leaves at 9am and you need to arrive 3 hours prior to boarding to clear all the security points. If the accommodations are set are they near places you want to see and visit? For packages offering hotel stays check hotel ratings. Be sure to see if there is an ‘alternate' hotel in case the first hotel isn't available. (Trip Advisor is a great resource for this). If staying at a luxury property check to see if those great resort activities (like a Hawk Walk, horseback riding, or 5* dinner) are included in your package or if they will carry an additional charge. As you review the vacation package you'll easily see if it is as great a deal as it first appeared or if the tour is the right fit for you.

If you've ever looked at a map of Iceland and thought,  “Oh wow, it's tiny — we can totally see everything,” you are not alone. I hear this all the time. And honestly? It makes sense.  Iceland looks small on a map, but traveling through it is a very different experience. I'm going to explain why Iceland being ‘small' is actually misleading, and how that misunderstanding causes a lot of travelers to overpack their itineraries, underestimate drive times, and end up more stressed than they expected. How Map Illusion Makes Iceland’s Size Confusing Yes, Iceland is about the size of Kentucky.  But unlike many places, almost all travel happens on a single main road, and that road isn't a straight highway from point A to point B. Driving in Iceland involves: Winding roads One-lane bridges Changing weather Sudden stops because… well… waterfalls, sheep, and stunning landscapes For example, Reykjavík to Vík doesn't look far, but that drive alone can take 2.5 to 3 hours, and that's without stopping. And no one ever drives Iceland without stopping. Now add: Limited daylight in winter Weather delays Gravel roads Fatigue from constant visual stimulation Suddenly, “just one more stop” becomes the thing that breaks your day. This is where travelers get tripped up — they plan based on distance, not time. I've seen itineraries that say: “Golden Circle in the morning, South Coast in the afternoon.” Technically? Possible. Realistically? Exhausting. I Learned the Hard Way Even after living in Iceland for years, I still plan conservatively. Not because I can't do more, but because I've learned the hard way. There have been a few times when I stuffed my itinerary so much that I felt tired, stressed, and annoyed. Traveling felt more like a chore than an adventure. How to Realistically Plan a Trip to Iceland That is Personalized for You If you're planning a trip to Iceland and feeling overwhelmed by all the information out there, I want to invite you to my Live Iceland Trip Planning Workshop happening on January 31st, 2026. It is the first one of this year and is extremely helpful for getting a head start on planning your trip in Iceland for 2026 and beyond. This is a live, interactive workshop where I help you understand how to plan your trip realistically, from driving distances and timing, to choosing the right season, and building an itinerary that actually works. You'll also be able to ask me your questions in real time, which is honestly one of the most valuable parts. I also do a giveaway of Iceland related prizes at the end of the workshop. One prize is a one-one video consultation with me, which is normally all booked up because I have few slots open for that throughout the year. If you want clarity, confidence, and a solid plan instead of stress, here are is where you can secure your spot for the live workshop. Random Fact of the Episode The total length of the ring road or route 1 is 1,322 kilometres (821 mi), making it the longest ring road in Europe. It connects the majority of towns together in the most densely populated areas of the country. Icelandic Word of the Episode Tími (tee-mi) — Time A perfect reminder that in Iceland, planning by time, not distance, is what makes or breaks a trip.
