In this solo episode, I dive into a few topics that I think every traveler should hear. After years of travel with over 35 countries under my belt, I made my share of mistakes that affected my enjoyment of a trip but also may have caused problems for others around me.

I begin talking about how "traveling" in your own city is just as fulfilling as traveling abroad, a concept I believe that people forget. Being able to see your city or state in a new light can be refreshing to the everyday busy individual.

While traveling can be fun, it can also be stressful. I teach you a mindfulness practice, I personally use to keep calm and enjoy the present moment while in stressful situations.

I want everyone listening to travel and see what the world has to offer. But booking your flights can be a challenge, especially with a high price attached to it. I give tips on how, when, and where to book your next flight.

Through her up and downs living in the French capital, Anne created her own business as a creative coach and consultant by providing workshops such as Mapping Your Path, a three-month workshop, and community experience setting people up for success on their terms.

Traveling is in her DNA with both of Anne’s parents traveling extensively before she was born. While growing up in several different states, Anne road tripped with her family across the country and learned the value of travel; it was a definite privilege but also a top priority.

She was first introduced to Paris on a trip during junior year in high school, and in 2001, Anne spent a college semester abroad in Paris where she fell in love with the city. For Anne, she always loved her outsider-insider perspective of the city where she enjoyed being an American in Paris and never let herself succumb to wearing rose-colored glasses.

Anne loves Paris beyond the Eiffel Tower and perfectly baked pastries but describes her intimacy with the ordinary aspects of life in Paris. What some might find mundane. She loves her long walks, getting lost in a neighborhood, and enjoying the (oh, so perfect) french butter.

Helene Jelenc started her blog, Wandering Helene, back in 2012 when she started traveling to other countries and wanted to document her experiences and share her photos. She looked at her blog like an online magazine, where the world could read and understand her insights of every destination.

To Helene, food is universal. Everyone eats and everyone can learn about a new culture through food. From what they eat or don’t eat, to who prepares the food and why, food is more than nourishment, it's ingrained in our identity.

We discuss food taboos which are cultural, personal, religious, or legal prohibition of certain types of food. If you think about it, everyone follows their own personal food taboos. No matter the demographic, food taboos remain strong in everyone's life.

We also dive into Slovenia, a hidden gem loaded with beautiful scenery and delicious food without the touristy crowds.

Delicious food and wine abounds throughout the country but the best way to plan a trip is to stay in the capital and rent a car, making day trips to other parts of the country.

Planning

Do Entry Research

Research Your Restaurants

Book Your Accommodation Closest to the Best Food
- For larger cities, avoid the city center and focus on a section of the city that has the best food.
Find the Best Transport from the Airport to the Hotel and getting around the city
- Trains, Bus, Taxis, Private Transport
- Also, look into rideshare apps
Avoid Packing Too Much into the Itinerary
- Give yourself breathing room and time to roam the city.
Know When Reservations Open for Notable Restaurants
- The best restaurants in the world book months in advance.
Fancy and Expensive Does Not Mean Delicious
- Take it from me, fancy and expensive restaurants often disappoint more than casual and inexpensive eateries.

Lorenzo worked with these establishments helping them create websites to digitally market and run their business.

Next, we move on to Belize and how it's a great travel choice for American tourists. With short flights, prominently English speaking, and covid cases are generally pretty low, we see why Lorenzo is so passionate about promoting his home country.

There are many unique cultures blended into one country. Caribbean culture is most prominent with reggae music playing, brightly colored houses lining the streets, and delicious food around every corner.

With a rich Mayan history, travelers should remember that the country offers more than just fun beach vibes. Belize has the largest concentration of Mayan Pyramids in Central America giving plenty of options for every type of traveler.

Amie Watson is a journalist, blogger, and podcaster with a wealth of knowledge from her many adventures around the globe. Her blog, multiculturiosity.com, chronicles her adventures with recipes, restaurant reviews, and her recommendations for all things travel.

We discuss the importance of travel with reflections back on her most recent trip to Turkey before the Covid-19 pandemic. Through her amazing trip through the country, Amie saw a few of her own misconceptions about the culture but discovers how her curiosity and “Yes” mentality helped uncover the food traditions of the regions she explored.

Travel changes us in enormous ways, even when venturing locally. Trying new restaurants or exploring a new neighborhood of our home city can still show us more about our own home we would have otherwise missed.
