Radio Magic…to honor Symbiotic Mutualism… How can we humbly receive guidance from the forest regarding community… To protect what we love, become like it, adapt its qualities… To protect wolves – become more like wolves. To protect Coyotes – adopt Coyote strategy. (I have lived with actual Coyote and Wolf Dog, longer than have lived with humans. They certainly taught me a thing or two… all a negotiation for reciprocal evolutionary benefit…) To protect water, become as water. To protect the forest … “Retaining our forests can help keep resolve climate crisis protect the integrity of many of our streams and rivers, and continue to provide food and shelter for much of the world's land animals,” says Perlin, author of four books and former physics professor at University of California, Santa Barbara. “It is my hope that the new edition of A Forest Journey will make clear the imperative humanity faces, because losing our forests would not merely be the end of nature, it could mean the end of us.” John Perlin is the author of four books: A Golden Thread: 2500 Years of Solar Architecture and Technology; A Forest Journey: A History of Trees and Civilization; From Space to Earth: The Story of Solar Electricity; and Let It Shine: The 6000-Year Story of Solar Energy.

Télécharge mon podcast de 35 pistes audio avec idées visites, conseils, et bons plans pour un voyage inoubliable : https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/P-gcGRgZmd Ce qui unit Lolo & Nico au-delà de l'amour qu'ils se portent c'est indéniablement leur passion pour le voyage. C'est ensemble, qu'ils ont commencé les premiers grands voyages et que tout a été très vite une évidence entre eux. Il leur faudra un peu de temps pour avoir ce déclic de se lancer dans un tour du monde. Entre les études de Laurine et le travail de Nico, finalement tout finit par s'aligner et le bon moment se présente à eux. Enfin, c'est ce qu'il pensait... Alors qu'ils sont au Laos, le covid pointe son nez et fait basculer le monde dans le grand confinement. Dépités, après 4 mois et demi confinés et ils prennent la dure décision d'interrompre leur tour du monde et de rentrer en France. Mais leur soif de voyage sera finalement bien trop forte et dès que les circonstances ont été plus favorables, Lolo & Nico se sont envolés en Polynésie Française ( la suite de leur périple) et se sont lancés dans la grande aventure du WWOOFing. Ensemble on revient sur ces 10 mois hors du temps où ils ont travaillé dans des fermes pour des locaux et où les rencontres et le partage sont au cœur des échanges. Une parenthèse de douceur et de retour à soi et à l'essentiel dans le chaos de la pandémie.

Show Notes: Can we please find better alternatives then the military for young adults to experience risk, adventure, mission, and purpose? Dr. Jordan was inspired to do this podcast after reading three books: Pat Tillman: Where Men Win Glory; Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer; a soon to be published book from his friend Ginny Luther about her son Bart's military experience Pat Tillman was an active, intense, rambunctious kid who loved roughhousing, being loud, taking risks, and was constantly in trouble for his behaviors. He walked away from a multimillion-dollar contract with the Arizona Cardinals NFL football team to join the army after the 9/11 attack, becoming an icon on post-9/11 patriotism. The fact that Pat believed the Iraq war to be illegal and about false reports of weapons of mass destruction did not prevent him from wanting desperately to get into the fight, face the enemy fire alongside his comrades, to prove himself in battle, and become a part of a rarefied warrior culture. Like many young men, he had aspired to engage in mortal combat since being a little boy, itching to confront the enemy firsthand and prove themselves under fire. Sadly, two years into his service he was killed in action from bullets from his own troops, unleashing a government coverup. Jon Krakauer joined an expedition to climb the summit of Mt. Everest, despite the large number of fatalities of past climbers. Much of his motivation for the climb came from his belief that achieving the summit of a mountain was tangible, immutable, concrete; the incumbent hazards lent the activity a seriousness of purpose that was sorely missing from the rest of his life; “I thrilled in the fresh perspective that came from tipping the ordinary plane of existence on end.” Another climber, John Taske, wrote that, “When I left the military, I sort of lost my way. I discovered I couldn't really speak to civilians; my marriage fell apart. But when I started to climb, the sport provided most of what had been missing for me in civilian life, the challenge, the camaraderie, the sense of mission.” Dr. Jordan describes the temperament of many natural born risktakers: independent-minded, intense, risk-takers, physical, restless, active, love the outdoors. These kids are often described as: hyperactive, wild, can't sit still, out-of-control, impulsive, ODD, not listen, don't like to be told no, want things their way, intense, stubborn, willful, like a wild colt kicking against the slats of their corral. This podcast shares stories of people who fit this description who ended up as incredible, successful, trailblazing adults, including Elizabeth Blackburn, the 1st woman to be president of Salk Institute; Loretta Lynch, the 1st African-American woman to become US attorney general, as well as his two sons and one of his female campers who created adventures for themselves. Dr. Jordan asks that we look for opportunities for our kids to take risks, have adventures, and make their own path. He describes several programs such as Teach for America, Peace Corp, Well Aware clean water not-for-profit (http://wellawareworld.org/join), listen to an interview with the founder of this NFP Sarah Evans on Dr. Jordan's podcast from 8-18-22, and Woofing ( www.wwoof.net ) There are other, better alternatives then the military for young adults to experience risk, adventure, mission, and purpose; help kids find them and start as a culture valuing these experiences and people.

Le Bocal du Lundi 17 Octobre sur les voyages ✈️ et particulièrement autour du Woofing !Avec : @Junpei & @GeniusLe Bocal, c'est quoi ?
Woofing consists of working on a farm while travelling to reduce costs. These volunteers help out their hosts for five half-days per week during their stay. The world is still in the middle of a health crisis. And while travel has resumed with the reopening of borders, more sustainable tourism practices have come to the fore in the past two years. One such example is wwoofing, which started growing in popularity prior to the Covid pandemic. And no, it's got nothing to do with dogs despite the name! The name is derived from the acronym WWOOF, standing for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. So if I work in woofing, do I get paid? So where does woofing come from? How do I become a woofer in the UK? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Épisode 68 : Chloé a 21 ans elle est actuellement en année de césure après une licence de sciences pour la santé.Elle est originaire de Vendée et a toujours vécu là-bas. Elle a une grande soeur de 25 ans. Sa mère est assistante de direction et son père est cadre.Chloé était une élève plutôt studieuse qui aimait l'école. À côté elle faisait de la danse et du théâtre. Elle explique d'ailleurs que le théâtre l'a beaucoup aidé à s'ouvrir au collège. Au lycée tout se passait bien. Elle a fait un bac scientifique même si elle aimait toutes les matières. Elle explique d'ailleurs qu'on l'a un peu poussé vers ce bac S par rapport à ses capacités à l'école.La période de choix post-bac fût un peu compliquée, petite elle voulait être vétérinaire mais les trop longues études lui faisaient un peu peur. Elle était en spé SVT et aimait beaucoup l'SVT, elle est donc partie en fac d'SVT à Angers même si ses professeurs et sa famille la poussait vers de plus grandes études.La vie étudiante se passait bien par contre côté études c'est un peu plus compliqué car elle se rend compte qu'elle n'est pas passionnée, même si elle travaille toujours bien. Comme elle n'avait pas trop d'objectif de métier en vue, elle décide pour sa deuxième année de se re-diriger vers quelque chose de plus sûr pour avoir un bon salaire par la suite. Elle trouve donc cette licence en sciences pour la santé à la Rochelle.Pendant sa dernière année de licence, elle est sensée chercher un Master mais n'a toujours aucune idée de ce qu'elle souhaite faire. De plus, les expériences à l'étranger qu'elle devait avoir dans le cadre de ses études sont annulées à cause de la crise sanitaire. Elle remet tout en question et se dit qu'il faut qu'elle fasse une pause à la fin de sa licence.Elle fait donc une année de césure pendant laquelle elle découvre le service civique et notamment « Les Ptis Débrouillards » association dans laquelle elle fait découvrir la science aux plus jeunes.Cette expérience de 6 mois lui a beaucoup plu car elle aime vulgariser la science et prend goût au missions de volontariat.En parallèle elle fait d'ailleurs des missions de bénévolat. Grâce à l'association « Je veux aider » elle s'engage dans plusieurs projet, « Make Sense » et « La Fresque du Climat ». Elle souhaite d'ailleurs continuer.Elle trouve très important de s'engager, d'aider, de donner de son temps, de travailler dans le monde associatif. Elle explique que c'est très enrichissant, ça permet de redonner du sens à ce qu'on fait et ça a un réel impact.Pour rappel le service civique est ouvert à toutes les personnes de 16 à 25 ans sans conditions de diplôme. Pour trouver un service civique vous pouvez d'ailleurs vous rendre sur : JeVeuxAider.gouv.fr.Pour la suite elle compte partir en Italie faire du Woofing ou fille au Pair. Dans le but de découvrir le domaine de l'environnement et de s'améliorer en langue. Ensuite, elle a prévu de faire un stage au Portugal dans le domaine environnemental. Après tout cela, elle compte reprendre des études soit dans la médiation scientifique soit dans le domaine de l'environnement.Pour conclure, elle trouve que toutes ces expériences lui ont vraiment permis de savoir ce qu'elle voulait faire et ce qu'il lui permet de s'épanouir. Quand on ne sait pas trop où on va, il est important de faire une pause, prendre par exemple une année de césure pour comprendre ce qui nous plait vraiment.Le conseil qu'elle donnerait a quelqu'un qui se trouverait dans la situation où elle a été est de plus s'écouter, prendre le temps d'explorer tout ce qu'il est possible de faire en dehors des études classiques.. .Ce podcast est proposé par [Key4Job](https://www.key4job.fr/).Key4Job est une plateforme pour valoriser les initiatives, les projets et les dispositifs favorisant l'emploi des jeunes.À retrouver sur [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/key4job/) et [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/K4job/).
"Maintenant, vous savez", c'est le podcast quotidien de Bababam, qui nous donne les clés essentielles pour savoir vraiment ce qui se cache derrière les mots, sigles, concepts qui font notre actualité. Du 3 au 17 janvier 2022, l'équipe de "Maintenant vous savez" vous révèle les 15 mots qui marqueront l'année 2022. Du nouveau phénomène "tourisme spatial" au monde virtuel "Métavers", en passant bien-sûr par l'expression "être woke", (re)découvrez ces mots qui feront notre actualité en 2022. Qu'est-ce que le woofing ? La crise sanitaire ne nous a toujours pas quittés. Et alors que les voyages ont repris avec la réouverture des frontières, des pratiques touristiques plus durables ont été mises en valeur ces deux dernières années. Avant le début de la pandémie, le woofing, dont l'acronyme est WWOOF, a découvert un certain succès. On peut résumer cette pratique à la possibilité de voyager tout en travaillant dans une ferme, histoire de diminuer ses coûts. En raison de cette subtilité, on ne parle pas de voyageur, mais d'un woofer ou d'une woofeuse, à comprendre par bénévole qui aide un hôte au quotidien pour des demi-journées de travail. Mais d'où vient cette pratique ? Si on travaille en woofing, est-on payé.e.s ? Et peut-on faire du woofing en France ? Ecoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez". Un podcast écrit et réalisé par Pauline Weiss. A écouter aussi : Qu'est-ce que le tourisme de la dernière chance ? Qu'est-ce que la micro-aventure ? Qu'est-ce que le volontourisme ?

C'est dans la ferme dans laquelle elle a été woofeuse que j'ai retrouvée Chloé. C'est aussi là qu'elle a rencontré son mari. Mais également qu'ils se sont mariés, et qu'ils y vivent encore aujourd'hui.Alors c'est parti, direction Pepperell à la rencontre de Chloé !Si vous avez aimé l'épisode, rendez-vous sur Apple Podcast, Tumult ou Castbox pour lui donner 5 étoiles et un commentaire.

Travel writer and author Nina Karnikowski is putting a new lens on the way we view travel. In her recent sustainable travel handbook, Go Lightly- How to travel without hurting the planet, Karnikowski urges the reader to forget the bucket list and replace it with an itinerary that's more about connection. Connection to the lands we visit and the cultures native to them. Connection to the impact that our travel is having on local economies; 95% of travel dollars get funneled out of the destinations we visit (a term called 'leakage' in the travel industry). Connection to the languages spoken by the artisans that whittle and weave crafts to feed their families. And more connection to the idea of sustainable travel, which means doing a lot less and making our actions count in every possible. For many of us, venturing overseas to explore far-off corners of the globe is something of a right of passage into early adulthood, and for some, a way of life. But as Karnikowski states, 'the staggering reality is, that only 6% of the world's population have ever even set foot on a plane'. This statistic really puts the idea of privilege into perspective, and as the adage goes, 'with great privilege comes great responsibility. Working as a travel writer for over a decade, traveling to some of the world's most remote destinations, Karnikowski has seen firsthand the destructive side of global travel. In this chat with Tahnee, Nina offers soulful insights and practical notions of how we can not only leave a lighter footprint but maybe even leave a place better than we found it through regeneration and mindful reciprocity. This conversation will have you yearning for connection, inspire you to do better, and make you incredibly nostalgic for travel. Mostly, it will open your eyes to the many little things we can be doing to make a positive impact on the places we choose to travel and the type of memories we create. "And of course, during that time, I think a week after one of my editors writes to me and she says, 'Can I tempt you with this three-week private jet trip around Africa and you will be going to see the gorillas in Rwanda, and you'll be seeing the rock churches in Lalibela in Ethiopia'. And just this incredibly enticing trip. And I just had to say no. And of course, all these invitations kept coming. It was the greatest test of all but I thought, 'No, I've got to draw a line in the sand here'. Two years later, and I feel very strongly that the overarching message is unfortunately we have to just do a lot less of it". Tahnee and Nina discuss: The power of conversations. How to travel more sustainably. Leakage in the travel industry. How to support local artisans. The art to a good travel wardrobe. The potency of a daily writing practise. Over tourism; Thinking twice about geo-tagging. Being more mindful of how we spend our travel dollars. The negative impacts of tourism on local accommodation. Slowing down and spending more time connecting to people and nature. Who is Nina Karnikowski?

Check Out The Transcript Here: Tahnee: (00:00) Hi everybody and welcome to the SuperFeast podcast. I'm really excited today to be speaking to Nina Karnikowski, I think I got that. She's a beautiful Polish lady who is also Australian and an incredible travel writer and author who I'm actually lucky to share a neighbourhood with, just around the corner from us. Nina's worked as a travel writer for the past decade, which is a long time. And she's now getting to be a published author and she's written a really excellent book called Go Lightly, which is about making your travel more conscious and less harmful to the planet. Tahnee: (00:37) It has some really beautiful reflections on how we can continue to enjoy exploring our planet with as much impact as we've been having in the last few decades. So Nina, I'm really stoked to have you here because I'm really passionate about this topic and I kind of didn't realise until I read your book how much of what you were saying is how I've always intuitively travelled. I hate the popular places and I hate the places where there's all the tourists. Tahnee: (01:06) I've been really sad to return to places and see how tourism has damaged them. But I'm also, like you I think hopeful that tourism can be a force for good in the world as well. So, I feel like this could be a really juicy and fun chat. So, thank you so much for joining us today. Nina Karnikowski: (01:23) Thank you so much for having me. I am excited to dive in. Tahnee: (01:26) Yeah. Like at SuperFeast, Mason and I, the first thing we did when we got together was jump on a plane and went to Costa Rica and we spent a month there and then some time in the States. And then, I went off to Thailand and I was thinking about how much we have just always had travel as a part of our life style. And then obviously, Corona has come in and it's just been complete stillness for the last couple of years. Tahnee: (01:54) And for me, it's been really beautiful. I was wondering about you as a traveller. Like you've been travelling for at least a decade nonstop, possibly longer. So, are you finding this kind of time is actually really restorative for you or are you feeling a little bit restless? How are you going in lockdown? Nina Karnikowski: (02:12) Wow. It is a very big journey in itself, experiencing this lockdown. I think I have been through many waves, as I'm sure everybody feels. There are periods in which I am completely at peace and feeling very restored, feeling connected to the community, feeling connected to myself, feeling the wonder and beauty of everything that is around us all of the time. And actually probably connecting to that the first time in a really, really long time. Nina Karnikowski: (02:46) And then, there are other weeks when I just feel ... I mentioned this word to you before we started talking, but I feel the [fernway 00:02:54] very acutely, which is this German word that expresses the opposite of homesickness. So, this desperate desire to just get out and see the world. I ache for the world, I ache for faraway places, I ache for the inspiration of that. And really what I have come to realise is that that cannot be replaced. Nina Karnikowski: (03:17) I thought that it might be for awhile, but there is actually nothing that replaces that. But it is really something to be ... It's a period in which I've realised that travel is something to really be revered and to treasure. And I have come to really treasure my travel memories during this time. And also like I say, I've fallen in love with Australia again and the places close to us, which is really important when we're talking about the state of travel. Tahnee: (03:54) Yeah. Something I really got out of your book was those kind of micro adventures, like getting in a car and going not so far and experiencing things close to us. And I want to stay on this idea of wanderlust a little bit because I'm super interested in ... I've been talking to a lot of people during lockdown about this and people are like, "You know, it's this right of passage. Every Australian gets to travel." And thinking about these 18 year olds that are stuck here and a part of me is like, "Well, it's actually a privilege that we get to do that, it's not a right." Tahnee: (04:26) It's this incredible privilege to be able to jump on a plane and go anywhere in the world. And this idea that we could spend a year living in Europe or a year overseas somewhere, completely agree, invaluable life experience. But it's this sort of real privilege as well to have that. And I guess I think a lot about what is it in us that craves something new, what is it that needs to go and experience these other cultures? There's lots there for me because I think about Australia being in some ways quite cultureless, and we can talk about that. Tahnee: (05:02) And I also think about how humbling and how beautiful it is to expose yourself to another culture and have to adapt your way of thinking to their way of being. So, they're the two things that have really come up for me is like experiencing something so different and so unreal. And obviously, the nature piece. Have you done any reflections on what are those motivations for you or where did that wanderlust arise from in you? Nina Karnikowski: (05:31) It's a really important question. I think that we've all had a lot of time to try at least to get to the bottom of. Because I think it's so multifaceted. And just on the privilege thing, I'll share with you a really interesting statistic that I came across while looking to create Go Lightly. It's that 6% of the world's population have set foot on a plane. Tahnee: (05:56) Wow. Nina Karnikowski: (05:56) 6%, isn't that just staggering? And when you think about that and you think of how low that is compared to what we think it is, you really start to realise what a huge privilege the idea of travel really is. And that has really reframed things for me. But just about what that desire to travel is and where does that come from, I mean I think you're right in that it is this desire to experience difference and to really frame our own experience within that idea of the other, the other place, the other culture. Nina Karnikowski: (06:45) Really I think we find a way to understand ourselves better through that. And there's just definitely that hunger in me. I mean, my whole lens as a travel writer was to go to the most far flung corners of the world. I loved places like Mongolia and Papua New Guinea and Ethiopia and Namibia. These places that a lot of other travel writers actually didn't really want to go to that much because they were kind of lesser known and more mysterious I guess. Nina Karnikowski: (07:22) And often places that weren't really that heavily populated. And what really drew me to them was how do people live in those sorts of places. And often, the people that were living there were ... There were ancient cultures there that were living in ways that had largely been untouched by modernity. Spending time with nomads on the Mongolian Step and seeing how do these people survive in this environment where they're picking up all of their belongings, they're moving seasonally. Nina Karnikowski: (07:57) And they have this tiny community that is so small but so deeply connected. And similar idea with the [Himba 00:08:05] tribe in Namibia and with the [Omo 00:08:08] Valley tribes in Ethiopia. I'm just fascinated to see these ancient ways of living and ways in which are so much ... When we're talking about going lightly, that is the ultimate going lightly, is just living in those ancient ways and really understanding how overcomplicated we often make our lives back home. Nina Karnikowski: (08:36) So for me, it was often about that. Just kind of reframing my own experience and telling stories that helped the reader reframe that for themselves and to really ask the questions of is this the best way to be living. Is the way that we're living really bringing us happiness or is it just a conditioned response? That was always the big fascination, at least for me. Tahnee: (09:01) So, how did you find yourself with these opportunities to travel to these places? You studied journalism? Or you were doing some kind of journalism? What was your background? Nina Karnikowski: (09:12) Yeah, yeah. Well, I went to university in Sydney, UTS, University of Technology. And I studied journalism with international studies. And so, a year of that I spent studying in France because I spoke French. I still speak French, rusty now. And I really was just so fascinated in the idea of using writing to explore the world and explore other cultures. And then, once I'd finished that degree, I did what most people coming out of university in Australia with a communications degree do and desperately scrounged around for any job that I could get. Nina Karnikowski: (09:59) Because the amount of degrees that are coming out are very disproportionate to the opportunities that are available. So, I did a lot of free work experience and things like that and basically begged a big publishing company here called [Fairfax 00:10:14] Media. I begged for a job until they decided they could handle me doing that anymore and they created a position for me, which was a junior writer role. So, I basically started out doing all the things that the senior journalists didn't want to do. Nina Karnikowski: (10:32) And I started on a magazine called Good Weekend that I had studied a lot at university. And a lot of award winning journalists and things. Of course, I was just there transcribing their tapes and writing the parts of the stories that they didn't want to do or didn't have time to do. I learnt so much from them. So, I kind of revolved around the magazines there and wrote things about food and fashion and profiles of people and a bit of travel. Nina Karnikowski: (11:01) But then, after doing that for about five years, a job came up on the travel team and I lept at that. And was lucky enough to get that job. And so yeah, I became an in house travel writer, which meant that I was sent on assignments every other week to ... At the beginning it was really wherever anyone else didn't want to go because all of the other travel writers had been there for quite some time. And then, I actually ended up moving to India for a year, which is another story. But I continued doing that job for a year there. Nina Karnikowski: (11:40) And when I came back, they restructured the whole team just a few months after that. And they decided why on Earth are we paying in house travel writers when we could be not paying that person's salary and just using contributors. So, I put my hand up for voluntary redundancy at that point and became freelance travel writer. Which was actually ... It was a great move because it meant that I could write for a whole variety of publications and I had that really great foothold already in the industry. So, that's when I really started moving into the more remote parts of the world. And I did it every since. Tahnee: (12:22) That's very brave. I mean, I think I remember that restructure. Was that when they were restructuring all the Fairfax and News Limited in Australia? Nina Karnikowski: (12:31) One of them, yes. Tahnee: (12:34) One of those, okay. So, that was a really big one. I was graduating, yeah, it was a big change. And I guess from moving into freelance, are you then able to ... You're pitching your story and you're kind of picking the places you want to go and you're interested in exploring and that's providing you with the opportunity to go and do that. That's kind of how your life's been the last 10 years? Nina Karnikowski: (12:56) Well, yeah. I mean, it's interesting how it works. A lot of people are confused as to how somebody could make a living out of doing this thing. So basically, a company will usually approach you as a freelancer if you already are writing travel stories for publication with a big readership. And they will say, "Okay, we've got a new itinerary in Zambia and we would like a writer to come and experience it and write stories about it. So, would you like to come?" Nina Karnikowski: (13:29) And in exchange for that, for being taken on this trip and having your expenses covered, you write a series of stories about your experiences and you sell them to different publications. And so, I was lucky writing primarily for newspapers in that there was enough volume of work to make that a reality because the magazines, you might only get three stories in a magazine a year. But for a newspaper, I was filing sometimes four stories a week. And you'd go on a trip and you'd come back and you would take one two week experience and you would write eight stories about it. So, that's how that sort of became a reality. Tahnee: (14:16) Mm-hmm (affirmative), yeah, cool. And that was quite a long part of your career. So, I noticed your first book was really more around people's passion and soul. So, I'm interested in how that sort of came about because you've been working, travel writing and then you sort of made this segway into being a published author, which is really exciting. And I want to congratulate you on that because I know how hard that is. I worked in publishing for awhile. So, what was your motivation in putting together your first book? Was that just coming from your own passion? Nina Karnikowski: (14:49) Yeah. Well, I was actually approached by somebody at the publishing house who said, "You've got this really interesting career. Do you think you might create a book around it?" And I didn't really like that idea of having my story at the centre of it, but I loved the idea that they were curious about how that had become my life. Because I always thought that about other people, you know? I would see these fabulous lives on Instagram and I'd be like, "Wow, how did that person become a wood carver? How did that person become a medicinal mushroom [crosstalk 00:15:28]." Nina Karnikowski: (15:31) And I would look at these people and think, "Wow, I'm so curious about that. I wonder what kind of sacrifices they made to get there. I wonder how much money they started with." All the questions that people had asked me, like how do you actually make money as a travel writer? How do you become one? What are the downsides of that? All these kind of questions that I wanted to ask other people. So, the book ended up being my story just as the intro and then 26 stories from people from around the world who had made a living doing what they love. Nina Karnikowski: (16:03) So, there's a Japanese tiny home builder and an Armenian visual artists and a Tanzanian photographer and a weaver in the US. All these different kinds of people. But really looking at the realities of what it takes to do those things because I think social media has a lot to answer for in making things sometimes look a whole lot easier than they really are. But also, encouraging the reader to take actions themselves. So, somebody who might be stuck in a nine to five job that they feel incredibly dispassionate about and how do they start implementing more creativity into their life. Nina Karnikowski: (16:43) I have exercises in there to help them do that, lots of advice from the people that I featured to really empower people to take control. I mean, we spend such a huge part of our lives working. And I just think it's a tragedy if we are not enjoying what we're doing and feeling creatively fulfilled. And also, redefining what success is because let me tell you, as a freelance travel writer, I was not making heaps of money. Nina Karnikowski: (17:15) But I was having an incredible time, I was telling great stories, I was seeing the world. And I had to really look at my definition of success and go, "Okay, well if my bank account is not heaving, then am I feeling fulfilled? And how do I help people see a different version of success that might empower them to take a few different chances in their life?" Tahnee: (17:43) I think that piece around like when you aren't really passionate about something and it feeds you, you often make a lot of sacrifices, which often is financial as well as other things. I don't think we discussed that compromise enough as a culture around ... You do see ... I know people have said it about us. They're like, "You guys are so passionate and motivated." I'm like, "Yeah, but those things that we all come from is because of this." And not everyone is willing to make that sacrifice. I haven't had a chance to read that one yet but I'm really excited and I think [Mika 00:18:13] and Jesse are in there too. So, I'll have to- Nina Karnikowski: (18:15) Yes, exactly. Who are Byron based chocolatiers. They make the most delicious chocolate. And she's an example of somebody who you'd be like, "Wow, a chocolatier?" You think of movies like [Chocolat 00:18:34] and you're just ... It seems so romanticised and I loved that she was so honest and she's like, "There were so many naysayers." And actually, the reality, there's a lot of ... So much hard work. She just works all the time. Tahnee: (18:48) All the time, yeah. Nina Karnikowski: (18:49) Yeah. But she loves what she's creating and she's very passionate about it and has a different view on what she wants to be spending her time doing than other people might. So, I think all of that is really important to convey because if you're someone who ... A lot of people really love the nine to five model and that's also really great because if you want to be able to properly switch off before and after work as well, then maybe being an entrepreneur or a creative is not for you. So, I think it's just important to show the realities of it so people don't go into this and then get a shock at how much work might be involved. Tahnee: (19:34) Because I think about travel writing as one of those industries that people think is very glamorous but I'm sure you would be the first to tell us that it's not. And I mean, I wonder for you, is that something you see yourself doing forever? I mean obviously none of us know the future but what's that sort of looking like for you? Would you continue to take those assignments and then is there more books in your future? Or what are you looking toward? Nina Karnikowski: (20:00) The great mystery. Tahnee: (20:01) Yeah. Just throw that one in there. Nina Karnikowski: (20:04) Well, yeah. First of all, I would say you're so right. It's absolutely not as glamorous as people might think. There's a lot of illness, I'll say first of all. A lot of illnesses I experienced because of that. And it's very fast paced. It's very you hit the ground running. You are working from the first moment you open your eyes until your head slams down on the pillow at the end of the day because the whole time you are just meeting people, gathering notes, taking photographs, making sure you've got everything to tell these stories the right way. Nina Karnikowski: (20:46) And you've also got to be up all the time because people are hosting you and you want to be enthusiastic and you want to stay curious and you want to keep your eyes open wherever you are. So, that's not for everyone. And I certainly met various travel writers throughout my time who weren't really suited to it. And they would turn up and say, "I don't really want to do what we're doing today." And it's like well, you have to kind of do what is organised because people are expecting you to do that. Nina Karnikowski: (21:14) So, that was definitely something. And also, you miss out on ... I was away a third of every year. I have a marriage to maintain and a life and family relationships and things. It's really difficult when you miss out on a lot of things. Okay. And then, as for what is ahead, well I mean, I've had such a huge shift in my thinking about what I'm doing and why over the past two years and even a bit before that. Which I'm sure we'll talk a bit about coming up. Nina Karnikowski: (21:58) But I'm definitely going to change the way that I do what I do. So, it will be much less travel. It will probably be instead of 12 trips overseas a year it would be more like one or two longer trips so that I can tell more stories in one place but then come back and have that time at home. And definitely more books. I love creating books and I love actually almost as much as that the conversations that they start, like this. And being able to talk about these ideas with people and express them in other ways. Nina Karnikowski: (22:36) I've started running workshops and things, which I find really deeply fulfilling because I think just conversations are so powerful. And I think for a long time I forgot that. I was in my storytelling, writing mode and I didn't even think about other forms of communication for a long time. I didn't have the space to. So, that's been a real gift in this time. And kind of just following my curiosity as well. I'm working on something with my publisher at the moment which is actually a totally different modality that I'm excited about and more in the writing craft realm. And I think as creatives we stagnate if we don't keep evolving. So, I'm looking forward to seeing how that mystery unfolds. Tahnee: (23:28) Yeah. I want to make a little note on the sustainable travel tips you just gave us around less trips and longer times, I'll come back to that. But the last piece I wanted to talk to you about was a little bit off the book, was it's actually about your craft. Because one thing I noticed in reading, I've looked through your social media and read your book obviously. And you write from this really heartfelt, reflective and very self aware place, which I think is quite for me, anyway in my experience with travel writing, very unusual. Tahnee: (23:59) And also, even on social media there seems to be this real sense of reflection and a lot of heart in your writing. So, I wondered if that's something that's come with time for you or is there a practise? Or is it your life style? I think I saw that you meditate. Those are things that kind of build your craft? Or is it just something that you think you've honed over time? Do you have any advice for writers in terms of how you've come to find your voice? Nina Karnikowski: (24:25) Well, that's a beautiful question and thank you for saying that. Outside of my professional writing, I am a big journaler. And I am very self reflective, probably to my detriment at times. But I really love the practise of writing every single morning without fail, emptying the brain onto the page. I have done that since I was a teenager. I experienced quite severe anxiety in my late teens and I started to do it then. And it wasn't probably until a few years after that that I really solidified the practise after reading Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way. Nina Karnikowski: (25:11) Where she advocates 20 minutes every morning. And I just find it such a powerful way of unburdening yourself every day. But also staying connected to your essence, to your purpose, to motivation, all those sorts of things. And also, just venting in a way that doesn't impact other people. So, you don't really have to do it to other people, you can just do it to the page every day. So, I think that's probably where a lot of that comes from. And then, bleeds through. Nina Karnikowski: (25:41) I love social media for that, as a way of really connecting to a deeper truth that often in travel writing you're not that involved. The writer is not that involved in the story. Places taking centre stage. So, it's nice to share some more personal things on there. And I think for anybody who wants to write or even just evolve as a human, I think a daily writing practise is just so potent. And it's free, and it is just available to use at any time. I always say I've saved so many thousands of dollars on therapy by just self administering this therapy to me. Nina Karnikowski: (26:22) It's often just what it feels like when you write down that thing that you would think, "Oh my God, I would never say that to anybody." And once you've actually written it down, and if you need to tear it up afterwards, by all means do that. But it's gone for you, it's gone. And you can really alleviate a lot of your own suffering that way. So, that's a big part of it. Tahnee: (26:46) Yeah, the cathartic process, shedding those layers. Nina Karnikowski: (26:52) Yeah. Tahnee: (26:52) I dated a guy who gave me that book, I don't know when it was, it was a long time ago. But it similarly was one of the few things from her book that stuck, the morning pages. And to a less extent since my daughter was born, I'm the same. Still in there. It's more like afternoon or night pages these days. Nina Karnikowski: (27:13) Yeah, also okay. Tahnee: (27:15) Any time pages. Nina Karnikowski: (27:16) Yes. Tahnee: (27:17) But yeah, I think piece around getting ... I think that's what I see a lot with people is that subconscious, unexpressed I guess shadow aspects of ourselves, which don't necessarily have to be negative. But just those things that we haven't digested or processed, you know? Pulling that out. And I felt that in your book. Like in Go Lightly, that you were ... Tahnee: (27:39) I hope this isn't a terrible thing to say, but it felt like it was almost a cathartic process for you on reflecting on your own journey as a traveller and as a travel writer and coming to this place of recognising some of the mistakes were yours as well but also the opportunities were yours. And that was kind of what I got out of reading it. Does that sound like a fair review in a way? Nina Karnikowski: (28:04) It does. You can tell you had a background in publishing, it's a very astute observation. Yeah because that book was ... I wrote that book in a fever and it came from such a place of my eyes being opened to something that I thought I need to remedy this right now. I need to create a resource that I could not find at the time. So, the genesis of it was, I mean it was a cumulative process but really it was this trip that I took to the Arctic in 2019. Nina Karnikowski: (28:35) It was my last big overseas assignment, which I can't believe I'm saying that. That's been two years now. Me two years ago would have just completely baulked at that idea. But i went to a town called Churchill, which is the polar bear capital of the world. 900 polar bears to 800 people. And I went there and I learnt firsthand about the plight of the polar bears, which of course I already knew. But to see these things firsthand, to learn about the melting of the ice caps and how that is impacting the breeding season of the polar bears. And how there's absolutely nothing that they can do to alleviate that situation themselves. Nina Karnikowski: (29:15) But there is something we can all do. That really, heavily impacted me. And I came home from that trip and I calculated my carbon emissions and I thought, "Oh my God, I have got to change the way that I do this thing." That is so necessary for me as a human being. I felt it was the air that I breathed at that time I travelled. But it was the single most heavy thing that I was doing for the environment. It counts for something like 8% of the world's carbon emissions. And my carbon emissions personally were out of control because of that. Nina Karnikowski: (29:57) And so, I really had to find a way to be more accountable and to understand how I could continue doing this thing that I loved. And it also accounts for one in 10 jobs in the world. And it does so much for our personal growth and it connects us as human beings. It does all these wonderful things so how could I continue to do it but in a way that was less impactful. And so, honestly almost immediately after that trip I wrote to my editors. I said, "Okay, I need to just take a little break. I've lost sight of why I'm doing this when I really came face to face with the impact of it. I need some time." Nina Karnikowski: (30:42) And then, that same day I wrote to my publisher and I said, "I need to write this book. I need to figure out all the things that I've done wrong and figure out how to do it better." And to help other people figure that out too because we want to keep doing it but in a way that is less impactful. And so, I wrote that book then in the following three months. And of course, during that time, I think a week after one of my editors writes to me and she says, "Can I tempt you with this three week private jet trip around Africa and you will be going to see the gorillas in Rwanda and you'll be seeing the rock churches in Lalibela in Ethiopia. Nina Karnikowski: (31:24) And just this incredibly enticing trip. And I just had to say no. And of course, all these invitations kept coming. It was the greatest test of all but I thought, "No, I've got to draw a line in the sand here." Two years later and I feel very strongly that the overarching message is unfortunately we have to just do a lot less of it. Which we are always hoping for a silver bullet. But aren't they going to make trains electric or run them on seaweed or something like that? But really, we just have to do less travel but make our travels count when we do them. Nina Karnikowski: (32:05) Like everything in sustainability, do less and make our actions count. And perhaps even move towards regeneration. So, how do we give back to the places that we visit? How do we really make sure that there's reciprocity happening there? And how do we as 6% that have this ability to travel, how do we make our very potent travel dollars count in these places? Tahnee: (32:36) Well, that statistic just dropped in for me. Like 6% of people are using 8% of the carbon emissions just in travelling. That's a really ... That's sort of mind blowing. It's interesting because I find a lot of problems with how we view these developing places and how we go there and we're rich there so we behave like divas. It's something that I've always really struggled with. And look, I've definitely done it too so I'm not saying I'm immune from this. Tahnee: (33:10) But the reciprocity piece I thought was a really beautiful part of your book. And I think there was an African ... One of the first actual indigenous Africans to own a lodge, you interviewed him. I think his interview was really big for me because it really impacted me on how we really need to do our research and make sure that these places aren't owned by westerners who are just funnelling the money out of there or putting it toward their Range Rovers or whatever. It's actuallY going back into the villages and into the communities and supporting them in some way. Tahnee: (33:45) And I don't know, do you have any thoughts on that kind of mindset shift that we might need to make as a population? That we're not going there to live like queens and kings. We're going there to participate in their economy and participate in their culture and in their world. I'm curious as to your thoughts on that. Nina Karnikowski: (34:03) Yeah. I love that that came clear to you through reading it because that's really I think the most powerful thing that we could do. I mean, keeping the 6% figure in mind and then also keeping this figure in mind, which is that 95% of our travel dollars get funnelled out of the destinations that we visit. So, that's something called leakage in the travel industry. And so, we want to basically stop that from happening as much as we possibly can. So, that's looking for, like you say, companies like [African Bushcamps 00:34:39], which is in love with the first black owner of a bush camp in Africa. I can't even believe that. Tahnee: (34:48) Yeah, that blew my mind. I was like, "Hang on a second." Nina Karnikowski: (34:51) Right, right, exactly. So, putting our money into those sort of companies, also into locally owned hotels, into locally owned restaurants, into indigenous crafts and making sure that we understand that. And putting in the time to meet makers and really diving into the culture in a deeper way. And putting in the effort to learn the language. All these sorts of things which are helpful as well. But really, it's thinking about the travel dollar all of the time and always asking the question of who owns this and is there an alternative for me. Nina Karnikowski: (35:38) Doing things like home stays are amazing and always so powerful as a traveller. We've all experienced going and staying in some sort of high rise Hilton and feeling like you could be anywhere in the world. And then, staying with a local family. Like I did this trip in Nepal where we stayed with families. And I spent four days family and learnt so much more about the culture and developed a really beautiful connection with the couple and their children. Nina Karnikowski: (36:10) You get such a richer, deeper experience. And then, you develop relationships that then can carry on throughout your life, which I think is one of the most important things that we need to do as well as travellers is to create ongoing relationships with places. So that then if a tragedy occurs in that part of the world, the way we work is we'll be more inclined to act if we've visited that place, understood the people there and understood the culture. And so, that's another benefit of thinking that way as well. Nina Karnikowski: (36:42) And just going back to [Lex 00:36:45] and what he said in that interview, he said something like the places that we travel to are nourishing for us, how do we give that nourishment back? How do we ensure that we are being nourishing too? So, that comes down to things like cultural exchange and making sure that we are offering something in return all of the time. So, if we're learning something and are we paying a fair price for things, first of all. And are we using our money in the right places? Nina Karnikowski: (37:18) But also, just having conversations, building deeper relationships in places and making sure that in that way we're giving back as well. There's so many ways to give back as a traveller and it's not just about ... I think we had this outdated mindset of, "Okay, if we want to give back, we've got to sign up to build an orphanage in a destination." Nina Karnikowski: (37:44) But the truth of that is that there's a lot of problems relating to that, which is often it can take away jobs from locals or build something just to tear it down once the travellers have gone because it's actually just a way of making money. All these sorts of things. So, I think that direct action, putting money in the pockets of locals and also building those more robust relationships. And just putting in the effort to really learn at that deeper level about culture. Tahnee: (38:18) Yeah. Well the big kind of word that kept coming up for me in reading your book was slowing down. And I think I was reflecting on the most meaningful trips that I've had and they weren't probably very Instagramy in terms of I would walk around the city for four days and just sit at a café and talk to some old man about his experience living there for ... I did that in San Francisco. I spent three hours with this 70 year old gay man who had been through all of the amazing cultural shifts in San Francisco. Tahnee: (38:47) And I learned more in those three hours than I would have learned in a museum or anywhere else. And same in Japan, I did a cultural exchange when I was 16 and lived with families there. And I still have them as a vivid memory of the grandparents every morning tending the shrine and the breakfast we were served and their gardens. But they're not particularly memorable memories in a way. Like in terms of sharing them with people or anything like that. They're just very special to me. Tahnee: (39:17) And I think that was kind of the stuff that kept coming into my head reading your book was those experiences helped shape me. Yeah, I won't so much a picture and it was an incredible experience. I actually had a lot of resistance to going there. My husband made me go. He was like, "You will like it." I was like, "I'm not going to that place. It's too many people." He was like, "Just go." And we went at six in the morning to try and avoid the people. And yes, it was an incredibly sacred experience but we went to another temple, it was just him and I and that was for me a more sacred experience. Tahnee: (39:47) So, I think all those notes that you made around getting off the beaten track, actually listening to locals, asking them where their favourite places to go are. Slowing down and spending more time connecting with people, I think those are the keys to really having that meaningful experience. Rather than being on those itineraries where you just go, go, go, go, go. Which we've all done those too. Nina Karnikowski: (40:10) Yeah. Tahnee: (40:10) Would you say that's kind of ... Is it slow? And is it mindful? Are these the kind of key words that are coming up for you in your research? Nina Karnikowski: (40:19) Yeah, yes, absolutely. And so much of what you said is reflected in this, is thinking as a citizen rather than a consumer, right? We're so destructive in the way we travel a lot of the time. We go somewhere, we want something from it, these experiences. We don't care how we get it. But we I think need to shift and think, "Okay, but if we're acting like locals then we are more curious, we are paying more attention, we're having everyday conversations." Nina Karnikowski: (40:57) And that way the experience actually becomes so much more delightful for you because like you say, you might not have experienced bucket list things in San Francisco, but you had a conversation with somebody that is yours, you know? And in that way it's like tailored clothes, they fit so much better. If you're tailoring your travel experience to yourself, it means you're not just going and going, "All right, I'm going to tick off that museum that I actually don't even care about that but everybody says to go. I'm going to tick off that big hat restaurant that everybody goes to." Nina Karnikowski: (41:36) It's actually questioning what do I love, what am I deeply interested in and finding a way for that destination to help you find that. So, in that way you're growing as if you've seen. You're actually seeing things that you will be more engaged with. And it just personalises everything. I had this fantastic trip to Guatemala a couple of years ago, which was all based around weaving. And it was with this really beautiful little company called Thread Caravan. Nina Karnikowski: (42:13) And they take groups of women to weaving villages where we met with these women. We spent the whole week with these women who had been weaving their entire lives. They're carrying on this very important cultural tradition, which is actually ... It's bringing income into these towns and it is also keeping it alive because that weaving tradition is being threatened by globalisation and by mass production and all those sorts of things. Nina Karnikowski: (42:42) So, us going there as travellers, we're learning a skill that is just ... It just lit me up, learning how to weave on a back strap loom from these women who have been doing it their whole lives. So, you're learning something but you're also showing that community that actually hey, this cultural tradition is still worth something. And you're playing a part in keeping it alive in that sense as well. And you know, we saw how they were naturally dyeing these threads and they were telling stories about weaving. Nina Karnikowski: (43:19) It gave me a whole new appreciation for that art as well which I'll now have for the rest of my life. Now had I simply gone and kicked off some big site, I still would have had a good time, sure, but it wouldn't have been tailored to me in that way. And it wouldn't have been something that I cherish so deeply like I do with that experience. So, I would just urge anyone who is perhaps at the moment only in the dreaming phases of their next event, but really thinking about what is it that I love. What is it that I want to learn more about? Nina Karnikowski: (43:53) And is there a way that I can go to a place and allow that place to teach me that? And for example, I'm, as so many of us, into gardening and permaculture and things at the moment. So, I'm dreaming of going back to India and seeing if I can spend a few months on a permaculture farm and help out there because that way you're helping out but your also learning something in exchange. And developing a whole new relationship with that place via the soil. So, that's the kind of thing that I am envisaging now, the kind of journey that I'm envisioning. Tahnee: (44:35) Yeah. I really love that idea too. It comes back to that self reflective piece, but yeah, understanding your motivations and your kind of why I guess, which I think was a big emphasis you placed in the book. Was really getting to the core of what lights you up about travel and why do you want to go. I mean you spoke about WOOFing quite a bit in the book as like an option for people. And if people aren't aware, it's a great way to give back to the community and learn some things. Tahnee: (45:05) I've done that as well. I just think there's some really magical experiences to be had there. We were unable to go because of COVID but we were supposed to go and live on a farm in Argentina and my husband wanted to be a [guapo 00:45:20]. The cowboy. Said he wants to go and be a cowboy and I was going to cook with the women and tend the garden. Those kinds of trips are the ones that we get excited about, which aren't super fancy. But I just think for my daughter to live on a working cattle ranch, I think that's a really cool life experience. Hopefully one day we can do those. Nina Karnikowski: (45:41) That sounds incredible. And actually, I will add as a parent how much better is that as well when you slow something down to that extent? You're actually living somewhere and you've got more space then because you're not dragging a child around from monument to monument. You're just living life in places. Tahnee: (45:59) We've travelled with our daughter a lot and my huge learning on that was exactly what you're saying. Like rent a house, stay put, become a local. What are the great hikes in the area? Even in Bali, we just ... The best place I went was [Lovano 00:46:17], which was as far from Bali as you can get. But my daughter could play safely on the streets, she could make little friends and it was just this really ... Yeah. Like just to be very low key I think is amazing with kids. Because they get so much out of just interacting with other people. Tahnee: (46:33) And there's no prejudice or preconceived ideas. So, they just accept things completely as it is, you know? And I love that about them. And they don't do well schlepping so there's no point trying. It's a nightmare. I did try it once. I was like, "No, never again." I don't know if you're familiar with ... There's this photography agency called Magnum, which was started in the 40s. Do you know about that? Yeah. I'm a big fan of just their story. A bunch of crazy renegades. Tahnee: (47:06) But I kind of thought about that when I was reading your book as well because they documented a lot of places that were completely unvisited by westerners. Especially coming up through the 40s, 50s, 60s when people didn't travel as much as they do now. And they also in the interviews I've read with some of the photographers, they said 20 years later they really regretted having shared those stories because it dramatically changed the places they visited. Tahnee: (47:37) And I wondered because you've been travelling for such a long time, have you seen that in the places you've visited? Like over tourism and what have you seen impact these cultures and these communities? And as consumers and travellers, what can we do? Obviously all the things we're talking about but are there any other tips or things that you've noticed that you think people can be more attuned to or aware of? Nina Karnikowski: (48:01) Yeah, definitely. I think that that is a huge consideration that to be honest I didn't think too much about for a long time. I was very passionate about sharing these places with people and everybody needs to know about this place. And I never thought if I start geo tagging anything or revealing these places because I thought I want to share it with everyone. In quite a naïve way really because that is exactly how over tourism happens. And I have been to some horribly over touristed places. Nina Karnikowski: (48:36) For example, Barcelona where we were at this [inaudible 00:48:39] and the line was something like three and a half hours long. And everyone is just going in to see the same thing. And you go in there and you can't really feel anything because how can you when you're surrounded by thousands of people and flashbulbs and cameras and things. I felt the same thing at the Taj Mahal actually because in India it's the same level of over tourism and everybody wanting to see the same thing. Nina Karnikowski: (49:06) And to a lesser extent, there's just places, it doesn't necessarily have to be a volume thing, it's an infrastructure thing. So, there are certain towns and even rural places around the world that have become famous for a particular selfie thing made in a certain spot. And I mention a couple of these stories in the book where locals will just be completely inundated by ... And it might only be a few hundred people coming there but it's too much for their little place to bear. Nina Karnikowski: (49:40) And there might not be enough places for people to go to the toilet and all those sorts of things. Or on the other end of that, it's like Venice where locals can no longer find accomodation because everything has been turned into tourist accommodation. Tahnee: (49:59) Or Byron Bay? Nina Karnikowski: (50:00) Or Byron Bay, exactly, where we are. It's the same problem. And we all know how that feels. And you see it happen in part of Paris. I remember doing an assignment there and my guide was saying that used to be a baker, that used to be a hardware store, that used to be the local cobbler. And now it's just all Airbnbs and there's actually no services for locals here now. So, in order to avoid all of those things, again it comes down to tailoring the experience. Nina Karnikowski: (50:32) To really not rushing where everybody else is going but questioning like where do I want to go. And is there a place that's close to a place that everybody is going that might be more delightful? And asking locals where they go. And really getting clear on your own personal desires in that way. And also, another great approach is asking where needs your travel dollars. That is just becoming such a more profound question now with the variety of disasters that are happening around the world. Nina Karnikowski: (51:10) It's a great way to approach it, to say, "Okay, is there a destination that experienced a natural disaster that might need tourist dollars? Is there a town that has experienced ..." For example, I went to Nepal for the third time just after the huge earthquake happened. And they were just desperate for tourists. People were either scared or they thought there was nothing left to see. And that place really needs your tourist dollars. So, looking at it as again, how can I use my dollars in a way that might help the local community. Nina Karnikowski: (51:48) And also, another big thing is travelling closer to home for a lot of us. And that is something that I think obviously forced to do in some ways over the last couple of years. But have really been enjoying. So, really just thinking about what places near me are not discovered really that much. And I went to an amazing dark sky park, which was just an eight hour drive from [crosstalk 00:52:21]. Yeah, near there, yes. And it was the best star gazing. Nina Karnikowski: (52:28) So, they call it a dark sky park because there's very little light pollution. And I saw better stars there than I did in the middle of Namibia. And did some incredible hiking and learned about the indigenous history of the area. And that area had been heavily impacted by the devastating bush fires in Australia. So, it felt good to be returning somewhere that people were perhaps a bit hesitant to go to at that time. So yeah, falling in love with the places closest to us. Nina Karnikowski: (53:02) And I also did a road trip. This is the other thing, put nature at the centre of your journeys is a big thing to do what I'm talking about. More sustainable or regenerative travel. So, I took a road trip earlier this year from our house to the Daintree Rainforest. It was a month and it was just me and the car and I slept in the car some of the time, which is actually really fun. People are always shocked. But I was camping as well and also staying in beautiful mud brick off grid house for a while. Nina Karnikowski: (53:41) And all a variety of different places but it was all just about hiking. It was about visiting permaculture farms. I visited a mushroom farm. I got to go and see the state of the great barrier reef for myself and understand what's happening there. The same thing in Daintree. So really, also getting curious about what ... I'm very interested in the impact of climate change on natural places at the moment. So, that was a great way for me to see that firsthand and to kind of activate myself in that way. And I think that's something we can all do as well. What issue am I interested in at the moment and is there a place that I could go to learn more about that than wait and worry to figure it out? Tahnee: (54:29) Yeah. My mom and dad travelled Australia a lot when they were young and I think I've been Australia twice but I don't remember any of it. I've done a lot of it as an adult now as well. But yeah, I watched you travel to North Queensland which is where I grew up. And it was really ... It's something that I've found shocking living down in New South Wales that people don't know. Like I'll say I'm from Mission Beach and people go, "I've never heard of it." And I'm like, "Okay, Cannes." And they're like, "Oh, yeah, okay. Is that near [Townsland 00:55:01]?" And I'm like, "Like the great barrier reef?" And like okay. Tahnee: (55:04) Wow, people in this country don't know. And I'm not even actually from Mission Beach, I'm from [Bingle 00:55:09] Bay but nobody even has a clue where that is, you know? And it's just like to really try and get people to see their own country. Aren't we proud? When I was a 10 year old in the 90s, we used to get ... I think there was something like, I don't know, four or five international flights a day into that Cannes airport. My parents were in tourism so you could know everyone in Cannes was Japanese. Like every single ... Tahnee: (55:32) I used to get my photo taken because I was blonde and white haired. It was such a different place then. And people from all around the world were travelling to that place and Australians don't even know where it is on a map, you know? So, I was super excited to see you going there. And you drove your little eco car too which I was like, "Yeah." It's a really great example to set I think for people to see how much amazing nature is right on our doorsteps in this country. Nina Karnikowski: (56:00) That's right. And also connecting more deeply to the indigenous history of this country and really thinking about what we might learn in that respect about just understanding the history of the place that we stand on. And asking yourself everywhere that you are who's land is this and am I behaving in a way that is respectful to those people. If you're asking yourself those questions when you're travelling at home, then that then translates as well when you go overseas. Nina Karnikowski: (56:39) And you will be more inclined to think that way than ways that you might behave in the past, which is where we just kind of think, "Oh, well we're overseas, it's not our place, it doesn't matter how we behave." It always matters. Tahnee: (56:53) It comes up to [inaudible 00:56:55]. Nina Karnikowski: (56:54) Yeah, right. So, kind of almost practising it at home as well. Practising how do we be better travellers and how do we ... Even getting used to things like camping and biking and hiking and all those sorts of things that we do at home and are comfortable doing it overseas. Tahnee: (57:16) Yeah. I was thinking a bit about ... Well, there's two little things that really landed for me again in reading your book. So one was around ... I actually have also been to Guatemala and hung out with the weavers, not through Thread Caravan but just on my own adventures. But I remember purchasing a weaving from them, a piece of fabric and it's become such a treasure of mine because again, like you're saying, the story. She was telling me about how the different moon cycles affect the colours of the dye. Tahnee: (57:48) So, to get a vibrant colour it goes on the full moon and the more mute colours, the new moon. All these kinds of things. It's become this possession that I'm attached to in a really ... I think in a beautiful way. Compared to things I've bought on other trips that have maybe ended up in a nut shop or not become ... It sounds terrible but it's true. I've just been like, "Eh." It's a kind of disposable piece, this thing that I've bought. So, I wondered around souvenirs and trinkets, what are your thoughts? Is it connecting with the people that are making it? Is avoiding those mass produced souvenir shops or do you have any kind of thoughts on that part of travel? Nina Karnikowski: (58:28) It's such a good question. And I'm very passionate about that. I'm passionate about that at home as well. About really thinking about everything that we allow into our lives and thinking about where it's going to end up. And thinking about just the life cycle of every single thing that we own and about how we might treasure our possessions more and really think of them as becoming part of us. And if we really think about how is it made, where was it made, who was involved in the creation of this thing, we would develop such a more respectful relationship with the physical object in our life. Nina Karnikowski: (59:12) So, with thinking about that, I love to collect things on my travels. And my house is definitely filled with those things. But I always thought about the life cycle of it. Instead of ... Well, not always. There was definitely in my 20s, you would buy things that would make you laugh or whatever. You bring it home and then [crosstalk 00:59:43]. Tahnee: (59:43) We've all got them. Nina Karnikowski: (59:44) Yeah, yeah. But no, I definitely think now about where is this going to sit in my home and is this something that could be biodegradable at the end of it's lifetime. Woven baskets or wooden items or things like that, does this item really tell the story of the place that I was in? And always also asking do I have to buy five of those things or maybe I just buy one more expensive one. And always also in that respect I think it's always worth paying more for something that is made properly and by an artisan. Nina Karnikowski: (01:00:28) As opposed to thinking, "Oh, okay, I can just buy three of those knockoff ones next door." Really coming back to who has created it, what energy has gone into creating it and bringing that reference to it. And also, the important things around questioning whether what the thing is made out of, is that ethical. So, there's all the things being made out of tortoise shell or bones or anything like that that might be an endangered species. I think that all comes into it too. Nina Karnikowski: (01:01:05) But I really do think that that idea of reverence and buying directly from artisans is really important. And I know that the pieces that I have bought are now going to be with us forever because they do hold those memories. And I can remember each person who sold me that thing and the interaction that we've had. And some of the things it was with people who I'd been interacting with for days and then fell into relationship with so that it really has a story to it. So, I think that's also then something that does bleed out into our everyday life. And to change the way that you see them then when you're at home as well. Tahnee: (01:01:54) Yeah. And that beautiful opportunity to reflect every time you see that piece and it's meaning to you and where it comes from. Nina Karnikowski: (01:02:01) Right. Tahnee: (01:02:03) Yeah. I've noticed in researching your work that fashion seems to be a topic you're passionate about as well and not consuming fast fashion. And just it's something I always find interesting with travelling, especially when you meet weavers and you look at how much work goes into producing a piece of cloth. And then, you think about I can buy a singlet for $5 from Target or something. It's such a crazy ... I know a machine's doing it, so it's a bit different. But yeah, I find that's a big schism in my brain that I can't quite reconcile. Nina Karnikowski: (01:02:41) I have so much to say on that but I'll try to be brief. But no, it's true. And I love that you experienced that in Guatemala and you saw. I think once you see something like that, it's very hard to forget it. When you see oh my gosh, that took three months for somebody to create by hand. That's actually what it would take for a human being to create a woven piece of clothing. And when we put that lens on things, it really just shifts the whole experience. Nina Karnikowski: (01:03:18) And it's like ... I don't know if you're familiar with [Tika Han's 01:03:23] work where he often talks about an amazing zen Buddhist teacher. And he talks a lot about when you are eating a meal, you look at the food in your bowl and really question every bit of energy that went into creating that meal. So, you give gratitude to the son and the rain and the soil that nourished the plants that then grew and then the work of the farmers who harvested that for you. And then, the people who processed it and brought it to you. Nina Karnikowski: (01:03:58) All of those things that create a meal. And I think we can think about that with clothing too, you know? Really thinking about ... Okay, if this is a very cheap piece of clothing, what energy was put into it and how has it been possible to create it for that price? And understanding that that is reflective of something that probably isn't ethically made. And also, bringing a sense of reverence to every item that enters your world so that you're not likely to just cast it off when the fashion changes but you're really looking for something that speaks quick deeply to you that you will look after for the rest of your life. Nina Karnikowski: (01:04:43) Or that you will pass on in a respectful way to somebody else. Because we might just think fashion is this fun folly but wow, it is really responsible for so much pollution and also mistreatment of human beings and our environment. So, it's something to love and to use to express yourself but also to really think quite deeply about the origin of all those things. That's why I'm so passionate about secondhand clothing and things like cloth swaps and things because that way you end up with pieces. Nina Karnikowski: (01:05:26) Like I went to a clothing swap recently and I ended up with pieces from my friends that I'm like, "I've got a piece of that friend." And every time I wear it I think of them. And I'm likely to look after it more because it is attached to that person. And there's definitely a beauty to that. And also, I always think about there's a lot of companies now that say, "Our lines are sustainable, and it's made with this material," and all that sort of thing. But really, there's nothing more sustainable than buying something that is already in [crosstalk 01:06:02]. Tahnee: (01:06:01) Production, circulation. Nina Karnikowski: (01:06:03) Has already been in circulation, exactly. So, reusing in that way. Tahnee: (01:06:13) And so, in terms of your travel wardrobe because I loved that you touched on this a bit in the book. And I think it's always so interesting depending on where you're going and what you're going to need. And I always find when I have to go into multiple climates, it's a bit of a headache. But what's your go-to in terms of travel and packing? Are you pretty ... I'm assuming being a travel writer, you're pretty light weight. But I'm interested to hear how you approach packing and selecting clothing. Do you research the places first and try and be culturally sensitive? What's your thought process around that? Nina Karnikowski: (01:06:51) So, yeah. I became a bit of a master packer over the years. And I think the key for me was really just packing as little as I possibly could and also packing things that could be multipurpose. I was really big on packing block colours, thing

At this point in the journey I have signed on to ride my thumb across the U.K. to travel and work through a clandestine outfit called WWOOFING which I have to believe is some CIA funded operation designed to force me into organic farming --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
In today's episode, I break down the pros and cons of transience aka being nomadic. I tell stories about the period of my life where I didn't live somewhere longer than 3 months. I talk about alternative lifeways and ways to be nomadic with a purpose like WOOFing, Americorps, and bicycle touring. I philosophize, and idealize, and I also critique the system that doesn't introduce us as 18 year-olds to the possibilities outside of realm of institutional learning. This podcast is named the way it is for a reason and that's because LIVING IS LEARNING. Getting out into the world is the best way to learn both about the world and what we are really made of. It's not always easy, and I get real about some of the hard moments, but authentic experiences are invaluable to who we are becoming. Even if it doesn't on paper add any credentials to our life, how we navigate the world outside of our comfort zone will be what makes us stand out.

Dans cet épisode, on part sur la thématique du WoofingG. Certains baroudeurs de tous âges choisissent ce mode de voyage. Comme on va le voir, le principe du woofing est d'accueillir un quelqu'un qui travaillera quelques heures par jour en échange du gîte et du couvert. Au travers de ce séjour il faut que l'hôte dispense un peu de son savoir à la personne qui lui rend visite. Au départ, le woofing concernait surtout les exploitations agricoles. On trouvait des annonces pour découvrir l'agriculture biologique, la permaculture. Mais nous allons voir que le principe évoluant, le woofing s'étend au delà de savoir faire agricole. On parle alors de "volontariat". Nous découvrirons dans ce 62e épisode pourquoi nos invités ont opté pour le woofing ou le volontariat en voyage. Angélique voyageuse et blogueuse, c'est l'une des plumes du blog d'Allô la planète. Elle écrit des articles autour du voyage, dont un qui traite du volontariat. Angélique nous parle de ses expériences et de son projet à venir ! Clément est parti voyager, après des études en génie climatique et énergétique, en voilier pour avoir diverses expériences. Attiré par le métier de paysan-boulanger, il rentré sur le territoire depuis peu. Il nous raconte ses expériences de woofeur et ce qu'il en ressort aujourd'hui ! Anne-Catherine est Sénégalaise. Après a expérimenté le woofing en 2006, elle décidé de lancer son écolieu : la Source aux Lamantins . Elle y accueille des woofeurs et a reçu l'aide de plusieurs personnes soit pour structurer l'établissement, soit pour mettre en valeur le jardin de plantes médicinales.

Aujourd'hui c'est Elena, du blog Elena sans H, qui vient nous raconter sa transition écologique. De la mode au féminisme en passant par le woofing, Elena partage ses réflexions sur son blog et ses réseaux sociaux. Elle nous raconte tout ça au micro... Fondation Good Planet |
Depuis qu'on est confinés parce que notre planète s'est chopée un bon gros virus, on prend le micro en direct tous les soirs à 21h pour donner la parole aux expats et aux voyageurs coincés, quelque part dans le monde ! Eparpillés à travers le vaste monde, ils racontent chaque soir comme se passe leur confinement et ce qu'ils voient autour d'eux alors que le coronavirus fait le tour de la planète. Dans ce nouvel épisode, on vous emmène en Géorgie et France. Cette 23e émission est un peu particulière. En seconde partie, nous accueillons en effet Alexandre Sattler et Alexandre Lecouillard. Tous deux ont pour point commun le voyage mais ont aussi la transition écologique comme cheval de bataille ! Nous parlerons donc du voyage et de l'apès Covid. Comment voient ils la suite ? Comment imaginent-ils notre société ? Quel monde aimeraient-ils voir naitre sur les cendres de la crise sanitaire que nous traversons ? Est-ce la fin du voyage en avion ? Un nouveau monde est-il possible ? Muriel et Jean-Jaques sont bloqués en Géorgie. Ce couple de jeunes retraités est parti de France il y a 11 mois maintenant. Il voyage en van et a déjà traversé 20 pays et avalé 38000 km. Il y a peu de cas (200 dont 50 soignés) dans cette ancienne République Soviétique. Le port de masques est obligatoire, les magasins de loisirs sont fermés. Seuls restent ouverts les commerces dits "nécessaires". Un couvre-feu a par ailleurs été instauré tous les soirs à 21h. Les Géorgiens qui ne peuvent plus circuler en voiture pendant quelques jours, respectent les mesures. L'armée réalise des contrôles sanitaires fréquents soit une prise de température sous une tente militaire prévue à cet effet, soit le militaire vient prendre la température auprès des gens véhiculés. Peu avant la fermeture des frontières, Muriel et Jean-Jaques avaient prévu d'aller en Russie. Ils avaient laissé leurs papiers et demande de visa russe au consulat. Celui-ci ayant fermé, et sans papier ni visa, ils craignaient de se retrouver bloqués en Géorgie.Or, belle surprise : le consulat leur a rendu les documents nécessaires pour entrer en Russie ! Reste qu'il leur faudra attendre la réouverture des frontières et notamment celle de l'Azerbaïdjan. (Leur page Facebook : Evasion en continue.) Virginie (Rani) est confinée en Moselle, à Ham-sous-Varsberg. Elle est rentrée de Thaïlande le 13 mars pour aider sa grand- mère de 93 ans. Elle prenait des cours de massages et de thérapies à Chiang-Mai. Virginie voyage depuis l'an 2000, n importe où et pas cher. Depuis 2015, la Thaïlande est le pays où elle va le plus souvent pour vadrouiller mais aussi pour ses cours, la médiation, le jeûne... Après 20 ans de voyage, rester bloquer en France était le pire scénario qu'elle redoutait. La bourlingueuse avait prévu d'aller en Espagne en août pour passer son certificat de prof de yoga , elle ne sait pas si elle pourra.. et ensuite elle avait prévu d'aller chercher du travail comme masseuse au Mexique car il y a de la demande dans ce pays. Alexandre Sattler est photographe, voyageur et reporter, producteur d'émission radio sur le thème de l'environnement, du voyage, de la solidarité comme "Regard'ailleurs" et "La voix du Kaizen" qu'il réalise en collaboration avec le magazine Kaizen. On peut notamment retrouver ses émissions sur la radio voyage Allo la planète ! Il rentrait d'Inde et devait repartir en Chine avant que le Covid ne stoppe ses projets. Il est confiné à Colmar en Alsace, où il a grandi. C'est d'ailleurs dans les forêts Alsaciennes et les fermes avoisinantes qu'il a développé son amour de la nature. Amour de la nature qui le mène par la suite à ses études de naturaliste et guide de montagne. Il ira en Afrique, en Australie pour aller à la rencontre des aborigènes. Ainsi, depuis près de 15 ans, il parcourt le monde en quête d'images et de témoignages inspirants qu'il veut partager au travers de bien des médias. Aujourd'hui, il ne peut plus travailler avec les ONG qui ont annulé leur budget de communication. Alexandre se posait déjà des questions depuis quelques temps par rapport à tous ses voyages en avion et à leur impact écologique. Le confinement l'aide à se poser et à penser à l'après et entrevoir, peut-être, la fin des voyages pour un travail plus local ? Il souhaiterait que soit revisité notre mode de vie, pour vivre en cohérence. Il pense que le besoin d'explorer et le besoin de rencontrer l'autre fait partie de la nature de l'homme. Le tourisme ne serait pas mort ? Ce confinement est une offre des possibles. Il permet d'être créatif, d'expérimenter diverses activités,. Il offre aussi la possibilité de se réapproprier les lois de la terre, de prendre du recul. Alexandre Lecouillard est lui confiné en Dordogne. De conseiller en communication à agent de sécurité, il fut surtout nomade pendant 7 ans en France et dans plusieurs pays Européens. Il a également passé 5 mois en Inde du sud. Après toutes ces années sans se poser au cours desquelles il a fait du woofing, du troc, de l'échange de savoir-faire, du bricolage, du jardinage.., il avait besoin de se poser ! Adepte du minimalisme, il consomme uniquement ce dont il a besoin. Il lit beaucoup, le livre le fait voyager et revendique plusieurs maitres à penser, du stoïcisme, de la décroissance, de l'écologie et de l'humanisme. Il a été conseiller en communication, agent de sécurité, un travail qui lui permettait de lire ! aujourd'hui il s'intéresse au domaine des arbres et a envie d'écrire. Pour Alexandre, il faut repenser le voyage. Déjà, dans son mode de déplacement, il faisait attention à prendre le moins de routes possibles. Pour lui, l'homme est en majorité sédentaire et la la plupart des gens ont un ancrage à la terre, à la famille, aux amis. Il estime qu'il faut revenir à la ressource de l'homme : la terre, bien travailler un jardin, une forêt, se tourner vers les circuits courts, le local. Soutenez-nous !

Lucile and Nikki discuss the Zero Waste movement and how Lucile got started and maintains this lifestyle. Bea Johnson was her entry point into the zero waste/almost zero- waste world. There is also mention of Woofing, which stands for Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms, and ends up being a way for people to travel the world on the cheap, be a farm hand and learn stuff about what makes this spinning earth ball go round. We also discuss the different kinds of composting that are available, like electric, worm, city or community and just a good ole pile in your back yard. We talk about the Sadhana Forrest outside of Auroville in India and not using toilet paper as a thing that is a thing. Menstrual cycle eco alternatives, like menstrual cups, and reusable pads and menstrual panties. So yes, we got real. We go into the bummer of the amount of concrete we as a species use and how that is not the coolest thing ever and why. Alternative building materials like cob, adobe, bamboo, wood, and our meh of air-crete. How recycling isn't very efficient and that is also not one of those things you can assume is done right because it really needs soooooo much improvement it isn't funny. There are efforts starting like Precious Plastics ( https://preciousplastic.com) which are really cool for people to open source ideas and start getting involved with their hands and minds. We get around to the Anthropocene and how we are causing this new man-made era. All is good and we are happy and doing what we can to start the discussion.

Depuis plusieurs années, Louise voyage seule et toujours en faisant du bénévolat. Mais tout cela, c’est grâce à son voyage de 4 mois en Nouvelle-Zélande qui lui a appris beaucoup de choses sur elle-même. Depuis toujours, Louise avait ce rêve, peut-être un peu cliché, de traverser la nouvelle-Zélande en van et d’apporter son aide dans des fermes qui tondent des moutons pour en faire de la laine. Elle se fait donc violence pour partir aussi loin de sa famille et seule, livrée à elle-même. C’est un peu un défi qu’elle se lance ! Aujourd'hui, c'est une évidence pour elle, qu'elle est faite pour voyager seule et que faire du bénévolat est indissociable de ses road-trips à travers le monde. Ecoutez le voyage de Louise en quête du lâcher-prise, de rencontres enrichissantes et de découverte de soi. N'hésitez pas à vous rendre sur son blog pour en savoir sur le woofing et ses belles aventures : https://louisevoyage.com/ Retrouvez notre belle communauté de FRENCHIES autour du monde sur Instagram : https://instagram.com/frenchies_autour_du_monde/ Musique : MÆSON - Memories
Ambulanter Pflegedienst, Dauermüde und ein Jahr in Neuseeland. Wir sitzen heute im Avalon und haben den WG Mitbewohner von Hannes als Gast. Mit Robi erzählen wir über das Zusammenleben in der Wg sowie was ist die perfekte Anzahl an Mitbewohnern? 2,3,4,5? Er arbeitet in einem ambulanten Pflegedienst und ist gelernter Gesundheits- und Krankenpfleger, außerdem studiert er Pflegemanagement. Die Ausbildungszeit war für Robi recht hart, da er zu dieser Zeit gesundheitliche Probleme hatte und aufgrund einer Narkolepsie regelmäßig eingeschlafen ist oder übermüdet war. Irgendwann war Robi dann mal im Schlaflabor und bekam Modafinil. Mit der damaligen Behandlung ist er aus heutiger Sicht nicht besonders glücklich und fand diese nicht besonders ganzheitlich. Außerdem arbeitet Robi ja beim ambulanten Pflegedienst, er erzählt ausführlich was ihm dort so alles begegnet, was er macht, wo Probleme liegen und wie der Umgang mit den Menschen ist. Außer dem Job gibt es aber auch noch Freizeit, daher berichtet uns Robi von seiner langen Reise mit Lukas durch Neuseeland. Mit Tinyhouses, Woofing, Kiwi Picking und Natur. In den News geht es dieses mal um: MMA,Tarek KIZ, die neue PS5(?)& Streamingdienste für Games, dem neuen Cybertruck von Tesla und Jürgen Klinsmann. Viel Spaß beim hören.

Xavi, de les Esplanes nos explica su experiencia familiar de 4 meses de woofing por Europa.
You’re listening to Episode 51 of the Close Knit Podcast and this week I spoke to Sarah Danu of Danu Organic. You’ve probably noticed this year that I’ve focused a lot on clothing production and slow fashion in my interviews. I was thinking about this recently and I don’t know exactly why that is - it’s just been a curiosity that I’ve had, and I’ve followed it. It’s led me to so many interesting conversations with people producing clothing - from designers to makers, and I’ve learned so much about the way that people produce clothing locally - and all the steps involved in this!So that all led me to Sarah - who runs Danu Organic, a clothing line made from organic color grown cottons. Sarah tells me about her memories from childhood of sewing buttons onto a scrap of fabric, as she learned to sew, and a beautiful quilt project she and her mom undertook as she prepared for her first year of college.Sarah made a bunch of bold career decisions that led her to WOOFing and an interest in the slow food movement, which ultimately led her to seeking out solutions in slow fashion to treat our bodies, the bodies of workers, and the planet with care and respect - which led her to seeking out Fibershed in the Bay Area, and ultimately connecting to scientist and farmer, Sally Fox.Sarah walks me through her journey with production so far, how she’s had to let go of some of the traditional advice around timelines and launching products, she tells me about her vision for her line - offering clothing for masculine folks and children (!! which is exciting, if you’ve been around in the slow fashion scene for a minute!), and some upcoming natural dyeing on her garments.And Sarah is generously offering a discount code just for Close Knit Podcast listeners! Head to Danuorganic.com and use the code closeknit (all lowercase, one word) at checkout for 20% off!The Close Knit Podcast is supported by the following people (& more!) through Patreon.

Florent Conti est l’auteur du livre et de la chaîne Youtube Ma vie en van. Il expérimente le minimalisme, le woofing, explore les modes de vie alternatifs. On lui a proposé de répondre à nos questions lors de son passage à Montréal. Il partage avec nous ses reflexions sur ce style de vie et nous raconte ses débuts.
Today on the show I have Bristol Ivy, pattern designer, teacher and author. We dive into her childhood in Maine and what that was like as well so many more experiences that lead her to where she is today. I especially loved hearing about the year off she took in New Zealand to work with sheep and how that experience shifted her course. Stick around for her final words of wisdom too!

The organization basically informed POC to travel through the state at their own risk due to a law that was passed that the NAACP says allows for legal discrimination.

durée : 00:02:55 - L'Esprit d'initiative - par : Emmanuel Moreau - Découvrir l'agriculture biologique en participant aux travaux de la ferme en échange du gite et du couvert est une activité qui séduit de plus en plus de "wwoofeurs"
Le 23/11/2018, Yann Bury du domaine alsacien La Grange de l'oncle Charles nous rendait visite à En Vrac, rue de l'olive à Paris. Dans ce deuxième épisode, on parle biodynamie, techniques diverses (avec ou sans bouse de vache), et woofing (de WWOOF : World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, système d'organisation qui consiste à faire travailler bénévolement des personnes sur une exploitation agricole et biologique, en échange du gîte et du couvert). https://www.lagrangedelonclecharles.com
Alison Ryncarz talks about her time studying abroad in Copenhagen and what it is like to go through the program, DIS, where she now works. We also learn about Woofing which is something every student (no matter where you are) should take at least one weekend to do.
Woof you, I won't do what you tell me! The show title is SO STUPID but we laughed and we don't care. Nauss listened to the intro no less than five times for maximum woofness. Mic pops aside, it's another episode with the new setup. We are still getting used to it so bear with us. We talk grindy games, 'punk'n spice', Jesus, childrens, being trolled and dog puns. Tune in, we really think we are funnier than we are. EpisodeGraveyard KeeperWarhammer: Vermintide 2WarframeFar Cry 5
► Free 11 Questions to Change Your Life http://refusingtosettle.com ► Join The Refusing to Settle Mastermind https://goo.gl/wsNnwu how to be confident when you feel like a fake? In this video, we're alking about How to Build Confidence In Yourself. You'll learn how to stop feeling like a fake during times where you need to perform at your peak. Should you fake it till you make it? How to shake off imposter syndrome. False choice — not the only two options: 1. Fake it or 2. Look unprofessional. You can be CONFIDENT without being fake or trying to pretend you know things you don’t. Here's what you DON’T do: The tacky way: you start your business online, write your bio in 3rd person and say you’re the CEO — see this EVERY email. (i.e. Robert Vance, CEO and Success Coach Consultant of Robert vance dot com). People can see right through that. Here’s what you SHOULD do: Document the process. Every industry is different, go back through on my channel look at older videos. I wasn’t trying to posture anything, still connected with people. In fact, even MORE so because people LOVE being along for the journey. (i.e. WOOFing videos/vlogs — people loved it! Still get messages today) Wrong: fake it. Right: Act as if. NEXT TIME Act as If — write that down Get nervous: INTERVIEW: ACT AS IF you’re family friends who know you for 10 years talking DATE: ACT AS IF there’s no pressure. The only time you’ll see them. Go out there and ACT AS IF! stop settling start living clark YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Money Monday Series ► https://goo.gl/7mMxgL The BEST OF Series ► https://goo.gl/5Spvy6 Journaling Series ► https://goo.gl/e6j6H6 How to Get Rich Series ► https://goo.gl/Q7wbc5 SOCIAL: Twitter ► @clarkdangerous Facebook ► /clarkdangerous Instagram ► @refusingtosettle Instagram ► @clarkdangerous MY COURSES: MyBestJournal 2.0 ► http://mybestjournal.com Video Breakthrough Academy ► https://www.myvideobreakthrough.com MY FAVORITE GEAR: (affiliate links) Camera 1 ► http://amzn.to/2AEGHUA Camera 2 ► http://amzn.to/2AFPyW8 Lighting ► http://amzn.to/2zDquyH Computer ► http://amzn.to/2hv4FwB Music ► https://goo.gl/OoPgFA TubeBuddy ► https://www.tubebuddy.com/clarkkegley Journal ► http://amzn.to/2huhU0O The App I used to save $11,000 in 6 Months without noticing ► https://goo.gl/FRuXC4 (get $5 FREE when you download/use that link) Note: Please always check with a professional before making any moves with your money.

When you are planning a trip, travel expenses can loom large over you. But it doesn't have to be that way. Listen to the Mama Says Namaste Podcast to learn how you can pay for the party. We live at our max income. We tend to live at full expense and it takes up all our time. Many people take no care of their money until they come nearly to the end of it. And others do just the same with their time." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, (born August 28, 1749, Frankfurt am Main [Germany]—died March 22, 1832, Weimar, Saxe-Weimar), German poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre director, critic, and amateur artist, considered the greatest German literary figure of the modern era. It goes back to the mindset piece. People work with their heads down, banking on the time they will have "one day." Others are incapable of planning, simply having life just happen to them without any intention whatsoever. Go back to the story of the Mexican Fisherman - How to Create the Ultimate Family Road Trip...without going broke or crazy: www.90DayFamilyRoadTrip.com/webinar Ways to leverage your income: AirBnB your home - are you okay with someone having sex in your bed? Think outside of the box on how you may pay for something - What can you downsize? Sell on Craigslist, Amazon, Facebook, etc, swap out kids clothes on consignment, have a yard sale. Volunteer, Workkamp, Woofing What commodities do you have you can sell? Your services or your things? This is a great opportunity to explore something on the side - your "side hustle" or expounding on your hobby and selling it. www.48Days.com - Ashley's father, Dan Miller. He writes/speaks/podcasts on planning your work around the live you want. Check out 48 Low or No Cost Business Ideas: https://store.48days.com/products/48-low-or-no-cost-business-ideas What can you create into a recurring income - you produce it once and it continues to create money for you. Explore a rideshare - can you pick up Lyft/Uber to do on the side? This is a great chance to meet people, potentially expand your business, and allow for some side income. Don't just shoot it down as "I can't afford it." Start with the mindset - look at what emotions you want to feel. Start looking right now at what opportunities might be right under your nose. Involve your kids in this process - let them know the expenses and brainstorm together on how EVERYONE can be invested in the process. Let this be a learning opportunity. Put up a chart on the wall to track your progress. Get excited together. Money is only a limitation if you allow it to be. Speak your successes into a reality. It's amazing when you start to speak it into your life, how much it opens up the opportunities to make it happen. Calculate the cost and do steps back to see how much you need to save a week Check out Robert Kiyosaki's book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" https://amzn.to/2LmkCzd - and while you're at it, explore the Cashflow game as well. http://amzn.to/2zLA6XO Don't be your own limiting belief. There is such power in perspective and what "rich" means to you. Create your own happiness and choose to keep it at the forefront. Speak the Law of Attraction on a regular basis. It's not "we can't afford that," it's "how can we make this happen?" Look at "is this a worthwhile investment?" Your challenge - look at what you're dreaming of doing, and get down to the finances. Don't say, "I can't afford it", but, "is this a worthwhile investment?" Adventure starts with a mindset.

Want to keep the costs down with free room & board when travelling...? Have you considered working abroad? Gina & I chat about all the ins and outs of using sites like Woofing, WorkAway & HelpX to travel the globe. We discuss the amazing experiences & the wonderful people you meet along the way.
Corinne and I had a fantastic conversation. She told me about how she and Atlas got started with their world wanderings and what their plans are for the future. A bit of background on Corinne. She tried community college, hated it, and left after two weeks. She became a celebrity raw food chef but was working a ton, and wanted to spend more time with her son, Atlas, and travel the world. She booked a ticket to Mexico and went WOOFing with Atlas. Corinne then shifted gears and became a self-taught travel photographer, working with AirBnBs, hotels, and attractions.
What do you think of a smart rabbit at collage? Many colleges allow students to keep fish in small tanks in their dorm rooms. It’s a lot more uncommon to find a college that allows more interactive pets to live with student owners. For students who feel they need a four-legged companion while they’re away at school, we have a link in the show notes to 15 pet friendly colleges. There are five reasons why you should own a rabbit: 1) The cost. Are you aware that the cost of owning a rabbit is less than owning a cat or a dog? To own a dog or a cat costs roughly $2,000 a year! That's a lot of bones. A rabbit, depending on how much you spoil it, costs roughly $400 a year. So having a rabbit even works within the most meager of college student budgets, and you still get your "warm and fuzzy" cuddle fix. 2) Their cuteness level. How can you say no to a fuzzy, cute little rabbit face? When you look up cute animals on Google, rabbits heavily dominate the internet cuteness category. Everything they do is cute no matter what. Rabbits are pretty kawaii! 3) Their social and friendly personalities. Not only are they great with people, they love hanging out with animal buddies. 4) The variety of the breeds. From the biggest Flemish Giant to smallest Netherland Dwarf, rabbits come in all shapes, colors and sizes. 5) Last but not least, you have a friend for life! Rabbits live up to 14 years and will be your buddy through all those years College students leaving the comfort and familiarity of home for the first time can experience a lonely and stressful transition, but a small number of schools across the nation are making this potentially difficult period easier by allowing students to bring their beloved pets to reside with them on campus. Schools such as MIT, Eckerd College, University of Washington and Stephens College have designated pet-friendly dorms where students can cohabitate with their furry family members. Upon seeing the success of these programs, the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) in Greeley launched a pet-friendly housing program in the fall of 2014. For UNC, the stakes for success are high. Enrollment is down, the university has lost 1,000 students in the past five years, and the university is looking for new ways to attract and retain students. Jenni Brundage, assistant director of Apartment Life and Operations, expects the program to be a great recruitment and retention tool: There is already a waiting list, and the university may add additional floors next year. Americans have not only embraced the Shultz dictum that happiness is a warm puppy: They’re applying it to warm rabbits, kangaroo rats, pot-bellied pigs, cockatiels and ferrets. And for that matter, to decidedly tepid ball pythons, Cuban rock iguanas and Chilean rose hair tarantulas. The issue here isn’t the type of beastie; it’s that animals equate to happiness, whether you’re at home, in the workplace, or in the stressful milieu that is the modern academy. An increasing number of students believe they benefit from having pets for emotional support or comfort. And those with diagnosed mental health problems—including anxiety, panic attacks and depression—are asserting their right to keep them in university residences at campuses such as UC Berkeley. Although counseling or psychiatric care may be necessary to address these real and growing needs, pets can be a valuable adjunct for restoring the emotional equilibrium of troubled students. Some of the evidence for this is simply empirical: Who hasn’t felt better stroking a furry cat or feeding a carrot to an equable equine? Though still relatively scant, there is scientific evidence for the positive effects of animal propinquity. A recent article in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, for instance, concluded that “animal-assisted intervention” may prove a good complementary therapy option for trauma. Nobody claims the dorms are evolving into petting zoos. But animals are gaining a toehold (clawhold?) in Cal residences. Which is all well and good if you’re cool with critters in general—but what if you’re afraid of dogs, allergic to cat dander, or freaked out by snakes, even the benign non-venomous kind? Is the French lop rabbit down the hall just the camel’s nose under the tent, a harbinger that the residences will soon teem with—well, camels? Probably not. Berkeley allow animals in the residences under guidelines established by two laws, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act. But the criteria for each are fairly explicit. “The Americans with Disabilities Act covers people with psychological disabilities, and only authorizes dogs and in some cases, miniature horses,” says Aaron Cohen, a staff psychologist for Berkeley’s residential and student service programs. “And the animals must also be trained to respond to specific patient needs. For example, they can alert patients who’ve missed their medications. Or a dog could be trained to put its head in the lap of a patient with bipolar disorder who’s on the verge of a manic episode.” By contrast, emotional support animals, covered by the Fair Housing Act, can be any species, says Cohen. “You’d require a diagnosis (from a qualified professional) of your condition and documentation establishing that it would be difficult for you to live in a stable and comfortable fashion in the residences without your animal,” says Cohen. “But the animal doesn’t have to be trained to perform a specific task.” That doesn’t mean the animals are accorded carte blanche to act like utter animals, however. They are expected to conform to the same rules applied to human residents: No biting or mauling, spitting venom or defecating in hallways, let alone blasting music at 3:00 am in accompaniment to a beer pong tournament. Adam Ratliff, Cal’s critical communications manager, emailed California that “If the animal’s and owner’s behavior becomes a nuisance or danger to other community members (e.g., noise, lack of waste pick-up etc.) then we do contact students to help mitigate the community impact.” One freshman at Washington State University was allowed to bring a 95-pound pig into her dorm—and, because the pig refused to use the stairs and was stressed out by the freight elevator, wound up staying in the second-floor dorm room and using a litter box. “The other students thought the pig was kind of cool, “ Hannah Mitchell, the dorm’s residential director at the time, told The New York Times, “but less cool when it began to smell.” It’s easy to poke fun at the idea of housing swine or alpacas or Komodo dragons in the dorms, but as Ratliff indicates, requests are generally for more compact pets—felines, small dogs, and perhaps rabbits, guinea pigs or white rats. Since the beginning of this school year, he continued, the university has approved all documented requests for both service and emotional support animals: 33 so far. All are either dogs or cats, wrote Ratliff, adding, “The type of animal does not impact our process or review.” For some students, the university can be a bleak and lonely place, and that seems especially the case for top, highly competitive institutions. According to the American College Health Association, almost a third of students found themselves so depressed at some point during 2014 that they couldn’t function. Around 15 percent of Cal students used campus counseling services last year, up from 10 percent five years ago; at UCLA, that figure has spiked to 20 percent. Throughout the UC system, student demand for mental health services has jumped 37 percent in the last six years. As a way to reduce overall student stress, Berkeley’s University Health Services has partnered with Tony LaRussa’s Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) to bring pups to Sproul Plaza once a month, with bonus visits during finals. These “Pet Hugs” events are open to all passersby, and very popular. “Cal is a highly competitive campus of 37,000 students and we at UHS are always looking for ways to help students manage their stress levels,” the health services website explains. “Petting an ARF dog offers instant stress relief.” Cohen says he first heard of emotional support animals in 2004, “so that’s a long time to have a conversation about the subject.” And even now, he says, evaluation guidelines are not deeply detailed. “It’s easier to determine (qualifications) if you’re looking at psychological disability rather than emotional support,” he says. So is there potential for abuse? Can someone who is in every way well-adjusted and anxiety-free bring a kitty cat to the dorms just because he or she really, really likes cats? Of course, says Cohen. “But there’s the potential for abuse in many areas, and I really haven’t seen much of it in our system,” he says. “Emotional support animals are gaining acceptance. Even on the airlines, anyone can bring an emotional support animal for a fee, though I recall an incident where a guy with a huge pig was walked off a plane. It’s a balancing act. We need to maintain guidelines, but we also want to support students. Further, it’s the law. Under the Americans with Disabilities and Fair Housing Acts, service and support animals must be accommodated if there is documentation of need.” In Berkeley’s dorms, no one seems to be getting in much of a lather about the issue. The general attitude seems to be: As long as no roommate is allergic or otherwise severely stressed by our four-footed (or six-or-eight-footed), winged, finned or scaled planetary associates, bring ‘em on. Some students told California that a good alternative might be a separate floor for animal owners, or a “pet place” where the animals could be housed and visited regularly. “I think (students) should be able to have emotional support animals because Berkeley is a stressful place,” says Danny Chera, a freshman majoring in microbial biology. “Animals are a way of getting away from reality and kind of having something close to them. I have tons of pets at home, dogs, fish, birds. They keep me sane. I would love to have them here. I think it would help me a lot.” Even undergrads who aren’t wildly enthusiastic about the emotional support concept generally are supportive. “I personally would not want to have a pet,” says Hosefa Basrai, a freshman in pre-business. “Woofing would make me uncomfortable, especially at night. (But) I think if they need it, they should have them.” As for critics who complain that comfort animals are infantilizing students? Dorm residents apparently beg to differ. “You could be 30 years old and still want the support of animals,” says Chera, “because the bond you can share with animals you can’t really get with people. Everybody deserves whatever they need to cope.” How Pets Came to the University of Northern Colorado Exactly why did UNC create the program? “We allow our live-in staff members to have pets, and a lot of students asked for pets themselves,” Brundage says. “We were getting an increasing number of applications for students to live with emotional support or therapy pets. There is a lot of off-campus housing that allows pets, and piloting this program opens the door for more students with pets to live on campus.” My practice, Sheep Draw Veterinary Hospital, serves as veterinary advisor for the program. In essence, we are the first line of care if the university has concerns about the care of the students’ pets. The hospital also provides education to students and staff about pet wellness and cares for many of the pets as patients. As a veterinarian, I was particularly curious about how this would work once the program began. Student with cat Student Sarah Hammer finds her cat, Robin, to be a great support. When Dr. Merideth Early, a colleague at Sheep Draw who is also president of the Weld County Veterinary Medical Association, sat on an advisory panel for the program at its inception, she says she was impressed with the level of care and responsibility demonstrated by the university. “The staff and students were interested in my input about making this a good experience for everybody. They really thought about everything, including not using the elevators so that students who have allergies won’t be affected by pet hair or dander in the elevator.” (Another way the school protects students with allergies: Laundry facilities have designated certain washers and dryers for the pet community. Everybody is free to use them, but the signs help pet-allergic students avoid contaminated machines.) Putting the Program Into Action The pet program encompasses the second and third floors of Lawrenson Hall, an imposing 16-story building in the middle of UNC’s campus. Students live in two-bedroom, apartment-style suites; there is a maximum of two animals per apartment. Each apartment has a sign outside the door with a picture of a dog or a cat and a number indicating how many of each pet is in the apartment. (This signage helps the UNC police department, facilities and maintenance staff know the type and number of critters to expect if they need to enter the premises.) For now, the only pets in the program are cats and small dogs, none of whom weigh more than 40 pounds. The pets must stay in the apartments at all times, unless they’re coming or going from the dorm. It’s recommended — but not required— that pets be housebroken or litterbox trained. What’s more, all pets must be spayed or neutered, vaccinated against rabies, be registered in Weld County and be on a leash when out on campus. Finally, students are required to buy liability insurance, which costs about $15 a month. Lawrenson Hall UNC's Lawrenson Hall has two floors that are pet friendly. A Tour of the Pet-Friendly Residences To see how the program is progressing, we took a midsemester tour with Corey Friend, director of Lawrenson Hall.Friendis a pet lover himself and lives in the dorm with his dog, Kirby, a tiny, happy,fluff ball mix of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Bichon Frise. Our first impression was that the pet-friendly hallways smelled clean — kind of like cranberries. Not one stray animal hair or piece of poo was spotted: Even the gated gravel outdoor dog run and elimination area was spotless. “Some of the other hall directors are jealous because they think the pet-friendly floors smell better than the pet-free ones,” Friend says about the cleanliness. “The students are very good about cleaning up after their dogs: They know that if there is a problem, they could be asked to leave the program. Our custodial staff cleans this area as well.” What Students Are Saying On the tour, we met Lawrenson resident senior Sarah Hammer and her rescue cat, Robin. Hammer is studying English with a minor in history, and her story is interesting in that it highlights the unconventional way this program is helping people succeed. She considers Robin a therapy cat. “Back in 2013 I was having a really hard time, so I got a cat, and she really helped me, made me feel like life was worth living again.” Overall, the program is going very well, according to Hammer. “The only time I heard a bunch of dogs barking and freaking out was during the fire drill, which is understandable. I think there is more community because we have to work together to make it successful.” Student with cat at UNC Morgan Monroe was thrilled that she could take her 17-year-old family cat, Bootsie, to school with her. Colorado native Morgan Monroe is another cat-loving participant in the program. She lived in Lawrenson last year. When she first went away to college, her parents cared for her 17-year-old feline, Bootsie, who experienced depression without Monroe and the cat had to go on medication. So when Monroe heard about the program, she signed up right away. “I am so happy to have Bootsie with me. I love him,” she says as she fusses over the furry senior citizen. “Everybody makes fun of me because I talk about my cat on a regular basis,” she says with a laugh. “He is like a family member. He is the unofficial mascot of my sorority, because on Tuesday nights we have dinner in the apartment and he hangs out with everyone.” So Far, So Good As far as dealing with issues with aggression or house-training, Brundage says, “We honestly haven’t had to cross that bridge yet, but the plan is to deal with issues on a case-by-case basis. The students are taking this privilege very seriously and are active advocates for this community.” When asked how they ensure that the pets aren’t abandoned at the end of a semester or left unattended for an unreasonable amount of time in the dorms, she explains, “We do have an overnight policy: If a student is going to be absent overnight, we require a pet sitter, which could be a roommate, and we require that all pets are taken home for winter break. Most of the pets come from home and are family pets, so this hasn’t been an issue yet. Again, part of the purpose of this community is teaching students how to be responsible pet owners, and responsibility doesn’t stop with the end of the term.” UNC will promote the groundbreaking program at the regional college housing conference in November. If the enthusiasm of the staff and student participants and those on the waiting list is any indication, this program will continue to grow in popularity, and we may see similar programs extend to other universities. If you’re in the market for an untraditional pet that’s still dorm-sized, here are some things that you should know about bunnies before you adopt. 1. Energizer Bunny You can’t just keep bunnies in a cage all day long. If they’re in a confined space for too long, they’ll get super wiry and start to act out. If you have an open cage, they may even attempt (and eventually succeed) to escape and get into things they shouldn’t. If you’re not home most of the day, I would recommend getting a cage with a playpen area on it, so the bunny is able to have more space. But when you are home, make sure to let them have some free roaming and exploring time. 2. Everything’s a Chew Toy Bunnies have super sharp teeth, and they need to keep them filed down, so they’ll chew on whatever they come across. Some bunnies are better than others, but when the hoppy child is exploring the house, make sure to hide all of your chargers and wires, because they’ll snap them in half with one bite. They’ll also chew on carpeting, wood and blinds, so I recommend having them confined to areas of the house where they’ll cause the least destruction, or, if that is unavoidable, keep a close eye on them while they’re out of their cage. 3. Vet Problems Yes, just like cats and dogs, bunnies need to go to the vet regularly, but many vets lack experience with rabbits. The carrot crunchers are super prone to getting cancers, especially reproductive ones, so make sure you get them fixed ASAP if they aren’t already, as doing so can extend their lives by years. If you choose not to get them fixed, don’t anticipate your rabbit living for more than three-to-five years. If you do get your furry friend snipped, they can have the life expectancy of cats and dogs, sometimes even longer, depending on the breed. 4. Tricks Are for Rabbits Rabbits can be trained to do almost anything. Litter training can be difficult before they’re fixed, but with some work, it can be done, to the point where they’ll do their business in the same corner of their cage/litter box each time. Aside from litter training, you can teach your two-eared friend commands just like you would a dog. Some respond to her name and “no,” and she can beg and “stay” for a short amount of time. They’re pretty smart animals. 5. Hidden Figures Bunnies can take a while to adjust and open up to you. Don’t be surprised if they hide in their cage for the first few days after bringing them home. If you end up moving at some point, do not be surprised if they repeat the behavior again. The bewhiskered breeders feel vulnerable in unfamiliar areas, and they’ll take a while to realize it’s safe and that they can start exploring their new area. Same goes for their owners. They’ll typically warm up to one or two people rather than the whole family. If there are younger kids in the house, they’ll typically stay away from them as well. 6. Territorial by Nature Rabbits can be very territorial and temperamental. If they’re in their space chilling and don’t want to be bothered, they’ll let you know. If you approach them, don’t be surprised if they growl and charge at you. If you ignore that, don’t be surprised if you get bit. Their moods can change instantly—one minute you can be petting them and giving them all your love, and the next they’ll want to be left alone. Don’t be surprised if they growl and charge you while you’re trying to feed them as well; if you try to remove their food bowl, they get super mad, and if you reach into their space, they may think you’re trying to pick them up (which they hate, FYI), so they’ll try to defend themselves. Eventually, they’ll know you’re not trying to hurt them, but to avoid such violent behavior, try to make sure the same people interact and feed them on a regular basis. If a stranger tries to care for them, the bunny will flip out and possibly attack, which will stress everyone out. If you go on a vacation, make sure the caretaker is introduced to your pet beforehand. 7. Eat Like a Rabbit These Easter mascots eat more than carrots. A typical diet is a small amount of rabbit feed each day, along with plenty of hay. Most foods have dried veggies in them, which are crucial to their health and make a nice snack. Fresh fruits and veggies also make great treats. Avoid iceberg lettuce though, because too much can be harmful to their diet, whereas blueberries, bananas, apples (minus the core and skin), yogurt and basil make great treats. 8. Bone Up on Bunnies Though this is general information, there are many different rabbit breeds, and they come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s best to know which breeds will work best for you. Some rabbits will grow to be the size of cats, while others will only grow to be a few pounds. Get to know a little bit about each breed before you visit the shelter, so you know you won’t be bringing home the wrong rabbit. Though bunnies take a lot of work, with some of your time, patience and love, they can become your best friend and an amazing pet.

The Young Man who was Saved by a Rabbit and a Fox. http://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/ne/al/al48.htm (Passamaquoddy.) There dwelt a couple in the woods, far away from other people,--a man and his wife. They had one boy, who grew up strong and clever. One day he said, "Father and mother, let me go and see other men and women." They grieved, but let him go. He went afar. All night he lay on the ground. In the morning he heard something coming. He rose and saw it was a Rabbit, who said, "Ha, friend, where go you?" The boy answered, "To find people." "That is what I want," replied the Rabbit. "Let us go together." So they went on for a long time, till they heard voices far off, and walking quietly came to a village. "Now," said the Rabbit, "steal up unseen, and listen to them!" The boy did so, and heard the people saying that a kewahqu', a cannibal monster, was to come the next day to devour the daughter of their sagamore. And having returned and reported this to the Rabbit, the latter said to the boy, "Have no fear; go to the people and tell them that you can save her." He did so, but it was long before they would listen to him. Yet at last it came to the ears of the old chief that a strange young man insisted that he could save the girl; so the chief sent for him, and said, "They tell me that you think you can deliver my daughter from death. Do so, and she shall be yours." Then he returned to the Rabbit, who said, "They did not send the girl far away because they know that the demon can follow any track. But I hope to make a track which he cannot follow. Now do you, as soon as it shall be dark, bring her to this place." The young man did so, and the Rabbit was there with a sled, and in his hand he had two squirrels. These he smoothed down, and as he did so they grew to be as large as the largest sled-dogs. Then all three went headlong, like the wind, till they came to another village. The Rabbit looked about till he found a certain wigwam, and then peered through a crevice into it. "This is the place," he said. "Enter." They did so; then the Rabbit ran away. They found in the cabin an old woman, who was very kind, but who, on seeing them, burst into tears. "Ah, my dear grandchildren," she cried, "your death is following you rapidly, for the kewahqu' is on your track, and will soon be here. But run down to the river, where you will find your grandfather camping." They went, and were joined by the Rabbit, who had spent the time in making many divergent tracks in the ground. The kewahqu' came. The tracks delayed him a long time, but at last he found the right one. Meanwhile the young couple went on, and found an old man by the river. He said, "Truly you are in great danger, for the kewahqu' is coming. But I will help you." Saying this, he threw himself into the water, where he floated with outstretched limbs, and said, "Now, my children, get on me." The girl feared lest she should fall off, but being reassured mounted, when he turned into a canoe, which carried them safely across. But when they turned to look at him, he was no longer a canoe, but an old Duck. "Now, my dear children," he said, "hasten to the top of yonder old mountain, high among the gray rocks. There you will find your friend." They fled to the old gray mountain. The kewahqu' came raging and roaring in a fury, but however he pursued they were at the foot of the precipice before him. There stood the Rabbit. He was holding up a very long pole; no pine was ever longer. "Climb this," he said. And, as they climbed, it lengthened, till they left it for the hill, and then scrambled up the rocks. Then the kewahqu' came yelling and howling horribly. Seeing the fugitives far above, he swarmed up the pole. With him, too, it grew, and grew rapidly, till it seemed to be half a mile high. Now the kewahqu' was no such sorcerer that he could fly; neither had he wings; he must remain on the pole; and when he came to the top the young man pushed it afar. It fell, and the monster was killed by the fall thereof. They went with the squirrel-sledge; they flew through the woods on the snow by the moonlight; they were very glad. And at last they came to the girl's village, when the Rabbit said, "Now, friend, good-by. Yet there is more trouble coming, and when it is with you I and mine will aid you. So farewell." And when they were home again it all appeared like a dream. Then the wedding feast was held, and all seemed well. But the young men of the village hated the youth, and desired to kill him, that they might take his wife. They persuaded him to go with them fishing on the sea. Then they raised a cry, and said, "A whale is chasing us! he is under the canoe!" and suddenly they knocked him overboard, and paddled away like an arrow in flight. The young man called for help. A Crow came, and said, "Swim or float as long as you can. I will bring you aid." He floated a long time. The Crow returned with a strong cord; the Crow made himself very large; he threw one end of the cord to the youth; by the other he towed him to a small island. "I can do no more," he said; "but there is another friend." So as the youth sat there, starving and freezing, there came to him a Fox. "Ha, friend," he said, "are you here?" "Yes," replied the youth, "and dying of hunger." The Fox reflected an instant, and said, Truly I have no meat; and yet there is a way." So he picked from the ground a blade of dry grass, and bade the youth eat it. He did so, and found himself a moose (or a horse). Then he fed richly on the young grass till he had enough, when the Fox gave him a second straw, and he became a man again. "Friend," said the Fox, "there is an Indian village on the main-land, where there is to be a great feast, a grand dance. Would you like to be there?" "Indeed I would," replied the youth. "Then wait till dark, and I will take you there," said the Fox. And when night came he bade the youth close his eyes and enter the river, and take hold of the end of his tail, while he should draw. So in the tossing sea they, went on for hours. Thought the youth, "We shall never get there." Said the Fox, "Yes, we will, but keep your eyes shut." So it went on for another hour, when the youth thought again, "We shall never reach land." Said the Fox, "Yes, we shall." However, after a time he opened his eyes, when they were only ten feet from the shore, and this cost them more time and trouble than all the previous swim even they had the beach under foot. It was his own village. The festival was for the marriage of his own wife to one of the young men who had pushed him overboard. Great was his magic power, great was his anger; he became strong as death. Then he went to his own wigwam, and his wife, seeing him, cried aloud for joy, and kissed him and wept all at once. He said, "Be glad, but the hour of punishment for the men who made these tears is come." So he went to the sagamore and told him all. The old chief called for the young men. "Slay them all as you choose," he said to his son-in-law; "scalp them." But the youth refused. He called to the Fox, and got the straws which gave the power to transform men to beasts. He changed his enemies into bad animals,--one into a porcupine, one into a hog,--and they were driven into the woods. Thus it was that the first hog and the first porcupine came into the world. This story, narrated by Tomah Josephs, is partly old Indian and partly European, but whether the latter element was derived from a French Canadian or a Norse source I cannot tell, since it is common to both. The mention of the horse and the bog, or of cattle, does not prove that a story is not pre-Columbian. The Norsemen had brought cattle of various descriptions even to New England. It is to be very much regretted that the first settlers in New England took no pains to ascertain what the Indians knew of the white men who had preceded them. But modern material may have easily been added to an old legend. The terms grandchildren, grandmother, etc., do not here signify actual relationship, but only friendship between elderly and young people. © Copyrighted
Since this was such a historic life altering day, I thought it the best place to start even though it is not where our trip began. I will add in stories about Canada and other New Zealand stops as we move forward, but I thought this stop would be the best start We were WOOFing in Blenheim, New Zealand. A quaint town near the coast that was painted with vineyards everywhere. Our host was amazing and as the US Presidential election would be taking place while we were there, she went out of her way to prepare an American feast. While getting ready for the evening, I stumbled across a hilarious bottle of beer in town, that I just had to have.
After last month’s words from farmers around the world, we are now back on British soil. We have stories from Perthshire to Devon but we start on the west coast, with Patrick Holden from the Sustainable Food Trust. Patrick tells us about how he makes the most of the by-products from his dairy farm, and what a positive effect transparent pricing could have on farmers. We hear about a great little trick for soil testing on the cheap, the TBI – And then we are in Shropshire to find out about some of the ups and downs of Woofing. Finally, we get a collection of dispatches from the first Scottish Farmhack, an experience that had many people excited to share ideas and build tools together.
Marta On The Move Podcast- Hosted by Marta Napoleone Mazzoni
Hey gang! Just returned from my trip from Portugal, and it was incredible. Working on helping rebuild houses for people in need, and diving to clean up the reef is up there as one of my most rewarding trips. It is always scary to take that step to get out there, and have some alone time. I wanted to make it a bit easier on everyone! Here are some of my tips on how to travel alone, and have a great time just with yourself, or join a group of strangers and make a new friend. I have included some websites and apps that I use while I travel. I also mentioned a great reference guide to volunteering. This trip was inspirational for me, and I love at the end of it you will get to hear some locals chat about what they know about Pittsburgh, and what they love about Portugal! Shout out to Impact Trip for organizing the program and O Seculo (One of the best hostels I have stayed in!) I met a ton of wonderful people, and got to experience the real Portugal. Thank you Wingman and Filipe for letting me come in and give a presentation at your office about my podcasting and travel experiences. Sorry I got ill, but it was so nice meeting all of you! Look for the interviews I did with some of you guys after this episode. The two other episodes will be with my hubby Phil, I went alone in the beginning of the trip, and then he met me a week later at the airport and we continued our journey. (Terribly romantic. I was holding a sign with his name on it) We use part of this podcast as a sort of journal entry for our travel lives, and hopefully share some cool tips on where to stay, eat, drink, and hang out. Stay tuned for Where to Eat and Drink in Lisbon, and also Short Day Trips from Lisbon. Enjoy some of my pics from the trip below including some of my awesome spackle work on the house. #masterspackler!

"Some people have the idea that if you travel nonstop you must be a trust fund baby with endless funds or a travel blogger making money from that and in reality, there are so many ways that people can make money online now," says today's guest, Billy Taylor, the Senior Editor of Travel Longer magazine, "The benefit of starting the magazine was hearing all of these different, diverse ways that people are able to perpetuate their travel." Equal parts journalist and photographer, Billy has been traveling the world writing, taking pics and eating anything he can find since 2010. He's a diver, designer, a former stunt performer, and a perpetual world traveler. Before that he got his start in his teens and then after a round-the-world trip, he realized how badly he wanted to travel more while also longer, to slow down and experience his destinations longer. Part of Billy's drive to explore and document is his pure love of people and their cultures, along with a belief that there are far more similarities that unite us as a human race, than there are differences that set us apart. He started his magazine, Travel Longer, to share this belief, vision, and purpose-driven mission with the world. Words from an Explorer "If you actually slow down and take the time to open your eyes and your heart a little bit there are so many of those little life changing moments that happen daily.” More Quotes from Billy "When you’re traveling, everything’s new and vibrant… if you’re traveling too quickly, those life-changing moments just rush past you." "When some people say they travel perpetually, it doesn’t mean 365 days a year. To just travel longer, to embrace the fact that you can extend things just a little…” "So much of work that we do is done online. It’s getting easier and easier for people to take their work on the road." What We Discuss What it is about New Zealand that Billy loves, from WOOFing to Couchsurfing, to a welcoming culture for an amazing community of travelers How a bowl of soup in Malaysia changed Billy's life How traveling longer allows you to let the experiences find you All about Billy's magazine, Travel Longer, and why he started it How he's able to get all his contributors and interview guests for his magazine The way travel can change your perspective of and restore your appreciation for home Billy's Best Travel Advice The First Step: He quotes Alex Jimenez, "I'm an equal opportunity traveler. I don't care how you travel, just that do." Money Saving Tip: Haggling for accommodation! Go in to a hotel, tell the people at the desk or the owners how much the room is listed for. Tell them on the spot that you're going to give them a lower price. What's the worst that can happen? This has worked for Billy in every continent he's been to. Listen to the show to hear about "Spludgeting!" Cheapest Airfare: Get as many quotes as you can, then ring the airline. Tell them what you've found, tell them you're a little flexible, and ask them if they can do a little better. Packing Advice: People pack things they 'might' need. That adds up. If you need it then, buy it there. And wear your heavy clothes on the plane! Internet Travel Tool or Resource: Couchsurfing, amazing for free stays and access to local knowledge (not just from your hosts, but from the Couchsurfing community!). Stuck on Earth, Trey Ratcliff's app. Favorite Travel Book: The Lord of the Rings, by JRR Tolkien Favorite Travel Gear: A scarf or sarong, which can be a towel, a cover up, a room divider, a camera prop, pillow... and it takes up no space or weight. Weirdest Food: Pig Snout, at a Satay house in Malacca, Malaysia Mentioned on this Show Travel Longer, Billy's magazine Travel Longer on iTunes @travellonger Alex Jimenez's travel fashion blog The Planet D
