Episode 224!You can also read our blog on the Port Angeles site here: https://www.visitportangeles.com/roam-with-the-roamies-as-they-explore-port-angeles-on-a-winter-vacation/As well as our previous 2 episodes to catch up with all our stories from  the Olympic Peninsula to inspire you to create your own stories on YOUR adventure there!  Waterfalls have a way of taking your breath away. Just ask Alexa, who fondly recalls being literally breathless when turning a corner during a Swiss hike to discover a magnificent cascade appearing out of nowhere. That magical moment sparked a passion that led us on an unforgettable journey through Washington's Olympic Peninsula, armed with nothing but a waterfall brochure and an appetite for natural wonder.The peninsula reveals itself as a wonderland of diverse cascades, each with its own distinct personality. Near Port Angeles, we discovered Madison Falls, a peaceful 60-foot drop nestled in a mossy grove perfect for quiet contemplation, and Marymere Falls, where a winding trail through ancient forest rewards hikers with a spectacular 90-foot waterfall. Venturing into the Hoh Rainforest transported us to an otherworldly landscape where everything drips with moisture and vibrant green moss hangs like curtains from towering trees. Here, smaller cascades like Mineral Creek Falls reveal themselves along misty trails, surrounded by the greenest forest floor imaginable.The Quinault Rainforest offered its own waterfall treasures, from roadside-accessible Merriman Falls to the wild beauty of Bunch Creek Falls with its dramatic 60-foot drop over rocky ledges. Though we couldn't make the 13-mile trek to the legendary "Valley of 10,000 Waterfalls" in Enchanted Valley, it's firmly on our bucket list for our next peninsula adventure. For waterfall chasers planning their own Olympic Peninsula journey, we recommend visiting during spring snowmelt or rainy months for maximum flow, and don't miss coastal falls like Strawberry Bay where cascades meet the sea at low tide. Whether you're an avid hiker seeking backcountry wonders or prefer easy access viewing points, the Olympic Peninsula's waterfalls will leave you, like us, a little more in love with the natural world.

Have you heard the term Fernweh (German “fern-vay”) or Wanderlust? What if God is calling us beyond a desire to explore far-off places? TeachBeyond member Natalie Kardol shares her story of longing to travel the world before she knew Jesus and longing to reach the world with the Gospel now that she does. Natalie's story invites us to consider how we are using our gifts for God's glory, whether at home or far away. “As long as I can think of, I always had this longing to go.” “When I became a Christian, I thought, ‘Wow, I wasted all these years traveling to these different cultures just because I wanted to be there, and I wasted it and wasn't able to share Jesus [...] If I ever have a chance again to do anything like this, then I just want to do it for the Lord and share the Gospel with people around the world.'” “I don't think it has really changed; I just didn't know in my younger years that it was God's calling on my heart.” Check out TeachBeyond's Annual Report! “I translated the annual report, and that just opened my eyes, and I saw more and [thought], ‘Wow, this is an amazing organization.'” “God is working in the background.” “However fast or slow the process works, God is in charge. I cannot take credit for it; I am not fully responsible for the outcome of it.” “It's an honor when you can connect people. It's not about you.” “I don't know what God is all of a sudden deciding to open up or not. I've learned by now that I cannot [...] plan what God has in store for me. It's okay to not have it all figured out.” Complete our Season 5 survey here. Thanks for your feedback!

He's navigating the Santa Fe trail, indulging in junk food and whiskey as he anticipates joining tenured podcast co-host Travis Burleson for a number of rides. His riding preferences have changed over time, embracing life on a Suzuki GSX-8R (https://www.google.com/search?q=suzuki+gsx-8r&tbm=isch), planning trips that stretch his definition of sport touring and managing bike maintenance such as tire wear and suspension adjustments.Travis Burleson (is here!) juggles responsibilities as a father of twin 5 y/o boys, one of whom recently helped with an oil change. Despite his hectic life and the unpredictable Wisconsin weather, he's excited about the 2025 riding season. He shares experiences with different motorcycles he's owned, throwing in a dash of nostalgia over past rides he and Robin went on together.Of course the conversation meanders into favorite in-ride playlists. Robin prefers a hard rock groove for super hero riding (The Hives "Hey Little World" and "Talkin' on the Internet" by Spiritual Cramp). Travis enjoys fast-paced punk and alternative sounds, including The Chats and Bad Religion. Both agree music enhances their riding experience, whether cornering in canyons or cruising the super slab.Episode Page: https://tro.bike/podcast/2025e12/Music by Rabid Neon and Otis McDonald

We believe wanderlust is about seeking experiences that feed the soul. March 26, 2025 | By Christopher Ludgate I recently took a deep dive to explore what happens in the mind and body with TM practice chatting with the eloquent, the radiant Dr. Tony Nader. Nader became the successor to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi after his passing in 2008. Nader's background as a child in a tumultuous Lebanon led to a yearning for a deeper understanding of human behaviour. His studies in Psychiatry and Neurology led to a focus on Brain and Cognitive Science at MIT while simultaneously studying Neurology at Harvard. Dr. Nader: While in school, I began practicing Transcendental Meditation, which gave me great insight into myself, great peace of mind, and wellbeing. I looked at its research and soon became a teacher of meditation. And when I completed my academic studies, I was invited to India by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I went there, thinking it was for a week. But then, he asked me to stay a little longer and then longer, and it became like a whole lifetime! And I began to do more research on the relationship between mind & body and consciousness. Since then, Nader has written books about the subject and was named successor to the Worldwide Transcendental Meditation Program by the Maharishi himself. He is now the President of the non-profit Maharishi International University. His latest New York Times Best Seller is called “Consciousness is All There Is.” Chris is a writer, photographer, and award-winning filmmaker with a background in NYC's indie scene. With tailor-made itineraries beyond the ordinary, his travel stories combine culture, wellness, the outdoors, luxury, and history. He's a longtime advocate for holistic health and animal rights as well as an avid gardener, cook, and cat dad.

On this episode of Speaking of Travel, award-winning filmmaker Brady Skye joins us to share the powerful story behind his new documentary, Beyond The Ruins, a film that doesn't just challenge the way we travel, but invites us to reconsider whose stories we center and how we show up in the world. This is not a film about the past. It's about the present. About connection. About listening. Through immersive storytelling, Brady brings us into the homes of contemporary Maya families, where cultural humility, reciprocity, and shared humanity take the spotlight. In his search for deeper meaning, Brady explores the wisdom of Yucatecan Maya traditions, not as an outsider, but as someone striving to live alongside, to learn, and to belong. He speaks movingly about finding your tribe, not just in people who look or live like you, but in those who open your heart and help you remember that we are all one. Beyond The Ruins is more than a documentary. It's a call to travel with intention, to engage with respect, and to discover that the greatest journeys begin when we truly see and hear one another. Ready to rethink your place in the world? Let's dive in.Only on Speaking of Travel! Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel! Visit speakingoftravel.net for travel tips, travel stories, and ways you can become a more savvy traveler.

We had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with debut author L. Costevelos. Known for her imaginative blend of psychological thrillers, romance, and fantasy, L has captured readers' hearts and minds with her first novel Wanderlust, a haunting, twisting story that challenges the very nature of reality itself.And what a conversation it was.For those of you who joined us live (thank you, paid subscribers!), you already know how deeply inspiring and refreshingly honest L was.From Dreams to DebutL. Costevelos has been a storyteller since childhood, always imagining the mystery hiding around every corner. During the interview, she shared how her sense of adventure, from solo backpacking trips across the world to living with a cat who thinks he's a dog, shaped the writer she is today.Her path to publishing Wanderlust wasn't without its challenges. L spoke openly about the doubts she faced while writing her first novel, the moments of fear, the bouts of imposter syndrome, and the question every writer wrestles with: "Am I good enough?"Inside the World of WanderlustWe dove deep into Wanderlust, a novel that begins with Raine Black holding a knife and no memory of the crime she's accused of.L explained that she wanted to write a story where reality wasn't fixed, where readers would constantly question whether what they were reading was truly happening or just a fractured, desperate version of the truth.She revealed that mental health was a natural part of the story's evolution:“I didn't set out to write a book about mental health, but as Raine's story unfolded, it became clear that the lines between trauma, fantasy, and survival were impossible to ignore.”One of the most interesting behind-the-scenes details? The character of Nicholas, the creature who guides Raine into the parallel world of Wanderlust, came to her in a dream during a particularly stressful time. She wrote the first scene with him almost immediately after waking up, and he never left the story.The Creative Process and What's NextWhen it comes to writing, L described herself as a "plantser" — someone who plans just enough to get started but loves discovering the story as she writes.She also shared how important it is to embrace mistakes along the way:“Your first draft isn't meant to be perfect. It's meant to be passionate. Trust that you can fix it later.”As for what's next?L teased that she is working on a brand-new psychological thriller, darker and even twistier than Wanderlust, but she's taking her time, making sure the story lives up to the standard she's now set for herself.She also hinted (with a knowing smile) that she may return to the world of Wanderlust one day.Final ThoughtsL. Costevelos is the kind of writer, and person, who makes you believe in the power of stories all over again. Her journey to Wanderlust, filled with resilience, creativity, and raw honesty, is a reminder that every great book starts with someone daring to say yes to their wildest ideas.We are so excited to see what comes next for her. If you haven't yet picked up Wanderlust, now is the time, trust us, you won't want to miss the ride.Thank you again to all our paid subscribers who joined us live and got early access to this incredible conversation. Keep an eye out for the public release of the interview in two weeks!Until then, keep writing, keep dreaming, and keep chasing those stories.CJ & Chris This is a public episode.

What if the key to better health, deeper connections, and a more fulfilling life is actually doing hard things? In this enlightening and often humorous conversation, Dr. Scott Lyons sits down with Jeff Krasno, founder of Commune and Wanderlust, who transformed his health and life by embracing discomfort rather than avoiding it. Five years ago, Jeff was 65-70 pounds heavier and facing a diabetes diagnosis when he discovered the power of "good stress" - the kind that makes you stronger, more resilient, and more connected to others.Jeff shares his remarkable journey from being a "chubby kid" constantly relocating (11-12 times before age seven) to becoming what Scott calls "the fascia of community" - a super connector who brings people together. His childhood struggles to fit in across different countries and languages eventually became his superpower, leading him to create spaces where others could belong. Through his personal health transformation and spiritual awakening, Jeff discovered that chronic dis-ease is often the result of chronic ease - and that leaning into discomfort might be exactly what we need.From cold plunges and fasting to facilitating difficult conversations between Israeli and Palestinian students, Jeff reveals how embracing "good stress" can transform not just our physical health but our relationships and spiritual lives. As he beautifully puts it: "The true wonderful ease that we're looking for requires a degree of inconvenience."Topics We Break Down:How chronic ease leads to chronic diseaseThe concept of "good stress" and hormetic stressors (cold, heat, fasting)Jeff's protocol that helped him lose 65 pounds and reverse diabetesBuilding a "psychological immune system" through difficult conversationsThe spiritual dimensions of practices like fasting and cold exposureFinding the space between stimulus and response as the key to personal freedomWhy true ease comes from meaningful connection, not comfort

Kelsey sits down with guest Kristen, who just returned from an unforgettable 8-night trip sailing through the British Virgin Islands in February 2025. Kristen's family of four teamed up with another family—both with kids ages 8 to 12—to charter a fully crewed catamaran called Wanderlust (photos of catamaran, and Wanderlust on Instagram) departing from the island of Tortola. With a captain and private chef on board (husband and wife team Captain Dean & First Mate / Chef Charne), they island-hopped through crystal-clear waters, snorkeled vibrant reefs, and relaxed while meals were prepared daily. Kristen shares how they found the boat, how they split costs between families, what the crew experience was like, and exactly how much a trip like this really costs. Mentioned in this episode:- Vital Spring Premium Magnesium, code KELSEY20 for 20% off- Below Deck on Bravo- Catamaran Broker: Ed Hamilton- Ferry from St. Thomas to Red Hook in Tortola- Soper's Hole Marina on Tortola- Elin Hilderbrand's Winter In Paradise trilogy- The Willy T BVI Norman Island- Swimming and snorkeling near Peter Island- Anegada Beach Club and Anegada lobster at The Wonky Dog- Conch Island- Leverick Bay, Virgin Gorda Baths- Sweet Ice Willy's Taxi Service & Hog Heaven on Virgin Gorda- Michael Beans Pirate Party, Leverick Bay- Monkey Point at Guana Island- Jost Van Dyke, The Soggy Dollar- Ocean Spa in White Bay- Christmas Cove off of Saint Thomas & the floating Pizza PiBUY ME A COFFEE to show your support for the Trip Tales podcast! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kelseygravesFOLLOW: Kelsey on Instagram & TikTokSHOP: Kelsey's Travel Favorites from her Amazon storefront.SHARE: About your trip on the Trip Tales podcast: triptalespodcast@gmail.com PARTNER DISCOUNT CODESVITAL SPRING - 20% OFF premium magnesium & electrolyte replenisher Vital Spring with code KELSEY20 COZY EARTH - 40% off Bamboo Sheets that feel like hotel luxury with code: CE-KELSEYGRAVES BLING2O - 10% OFF Bling2o kids ski or swim goggles with code: KELSEYSPANX.COM - Use code KGRAVESXSPANX for 15% OFF full-price items and FREE SHIPPING.

In this episode of The Junkyard Love Podcast, we meet Wendy Cole, a 67-year-old Transition Mentor who fully transitioned after 65. Wendy shares her inner perspective from her years living as a married man and father while grappling deeply with identity, societal expectations, and secrets that visited her sleep. Wendy shares stories of how she embraced her true self later in life, and we discuss her intensive internal exploration, self-work, her time in therapy, friends along the way, meditation, Joe Dispenza, reshaping limiting beliefs, creating new identities, telling the truth, and more.Wendy invited me to think differently, and I had a great time exploring the heart and mind of this unorthodox teacher. Her story offers us deep insight into the human being's profound ability for change - at any age. Some quotes from Wendy:"The greatest freedom I've discovered wasn't physical—it was mental. Changing my thoughts and beliefs changed everything.""If you've never looked in the mirror and questioned your actual gender identity, 'I should have been a boy,' or 'I should have been a girl,' if you've never done that, I don't expect you to fully understand the depth of the distress.""My therapist challenged every one of my thoughts, every one of my beliefs in myself.""When you're able to finally align your outside with your inside, the sense of peace and joy is indescribable.""Every limiting belief I confronted was like shedding a layer; underneath, I found who I truly was."Guest Bio - Wendy Cole:Wendy Cole is a Transition Mentor dedicated to supporting individuals navigating significant life changes. Having personally transitioned around age 67, Wendy uses her transformative journey and deep empathy to guide clients toward embracing their authentic selves. Her mentoring approach combines mindfulness, visioning, and intentional energy shifts, helping others confront fears and discover joy in their true identities. Wendy believes deeply in the power of inner work, emphasizing that the mental and emotional aspects of transition are just as vital as the physical ones. Through coaching, speaking engagements, and sharing her powerful story, Wendy inspires individuals to embrace their journeys boldly and authentically.Connect with Wendy:Website: wendycolegtm.netLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/wendy-cole-gtmYouTube: youtube.com/@wendycole8326Demystifying The Transgender JourneyWebsite:  https://thetransgenderjourney.comOn YouTube: https://youtube.com/@thetransgenderjourney On Podbean: https://demystifyingthetransgenderjourney.podbean.com/If you enjoyed this episode of The Junkyard Love Podcast, drop me a subscribe!Maybe you'll enjoy some of my upcoming episodes.

For Todd Lester, travel isn't just about checking destinations off a list. It's really about embracing the unknown, connecting with people, and finding magic in unexpected moments. His latest adventure took him to Spain, where he joined Pueblo Inglés, a one-of-a-kind program that brings together native English speakers and Spanish students for a week of immersive conversation, culture, and connection. No textbooks and no formal lessons. Just real conversations, shared experiences, and the kind of learning that happens when walls come down and laughter takes over.From the lively streets of Madrid to the breathtaking Spanish countryside, Todd found himself swapping stories over tapas, witnessing the fire and passion of this amazing country, and forming friendships that stretched beyond language barriers. What started as a volunteer experience quickly became something much bigger—a reminder of why travel is so transformative. It's not just about seeing new places; it's about discovering new sides of yourself, finding joy in spontaneity, and saying yes to the adventure unfolding in front of you.So, what lessons did Todd bring home from Spain? And where will his insatiable curiosity take him next? Let's find out!

Why do some stressors make us stronger, while others break us down? How can we train ourselves to return to center when life throws us off course? And what is the ultimate determinant of health and happiness? In this powerful episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my dear friend Jeff Krasno — co-founder of Commune and Wanderlust, host of the Commune Podcast, and author of the upcoming book, "Good Stress: The Benefits of Doing Hard Things." Jeff unpacks the science of resilience, exploring how intentional stressors — like cold plunges, fasting, and difficult conversations — not only strengthen the body but also sharpen the mind and enhance emotional intelligence. He shares how his own journey of self-discovery led him to recognize his lifelong mission of bringing people together in deep, meaningful connection - and reframing how we can use challenges for our own good. Through personal stories, cutting-edge research, and wisdom gathered from some of the world's greatest minds, Jeff reveals the hidden power of community, the physiological magic of discomfort, and the tools we can all use to find balance in a chaotic world. Together, we explore how small but powerful changes can shift the way we approach stress, connection, and our own potential. Listen in and discover tools to help build resilience, embrace challenges, and create true ease in your life.

This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Maui Nui, and Birch Living.  When we think of stress, we often associate it with something negative—something to avoid. Our modern culture has fostered an environment of persistent chronic stress, yet at the same time, we've also eliminated beneficial stress by designing a life of chronic ease. Today's guest joins us to explain why stress isn't just unavoidable—it's essential for growth. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Jeff Krasno, CEO and co-founder of Commune, to explore the benefits of positive stress in our modern world. Jeff explains why chronic stress harms our health and longevity, while adaptive stress—like fasting and hot/cold exposure—has been key to human evolution and survival. He also shares how to evaluate your protocols, behaviors, and routines to ensure they keep you in balance. Jeff is the co-founder and CEO of Commune, a masterclass platform focused on personal and societal well-being, and the co-creator of Wanderlust, a global series of wellness events. He also hosts the Commune podcast. His latest venture, Good Stress: The Benefits of Doing Hard Things, expands on his personal story and wellness protocols.
