19 Jul 2021 | TTB 147: 30 Marathons in 30 Countries with Liz Warner | 01:19:21 | |||||
Liz Warner turned to running almost 8 years ago while living in Tokyo as a way of grappling with her father’s recent passing. Soon after, she decided to combine her new love of running with her passion for travel and deep, deliberate exploration of other cultures. In early 2019, Liz launched Run to Reach, an 18-month philanthropic marathon expedition with the goal of running 30 marathons in 30 countries before turning 30 in June of 2020. Instrumental to Liz’s mission was her desire to leave a positive social impact on the countries she visits, one equal to their impact on her. Over the course of her mission, she partnered with 20 local women-focused NGOs across the world, whose tireless work for female empowerment and social activism often goes unnoticed. The Run to Reach journey brought Liz everywhere from the dense jungles of Sierra Leone, to glacial lakes in Mongolia, to turquoise waters in Yemen, to the central highlands of Afghanistan to undertake some of the world’s toughest marathons. With each step, she engaged in the rich and diverse cultures of these extraordinary communities and highlighted on a global scale their natural beauty and inspiring initiatives for equality.

Melody gives easy-to-understand tips and perspective to the new group of digital nomads, or as she says, “Anywhereists.” She wants to make those who are not location dependent know the plethora of options available to them: that certain cities have programs that pay remote workers to relocate, that living internationally may not be as expensive as you think, or that by living anywhere you unlock new potential to live the life you want.

TTB 173: The Cowboy Culture Matt Jacob is a photographer who’s main artistic discipline focuses on capturing the evocative, dynamic, and complex lives of humans within different cultures and subcultures around the world. Today we discussed “The Cowboy”, a series where Matt spent time on the Button Family Ranch in Kanab, Utah, USA. In Matt’s own words; “I was fortunate to be allowed to spend time with the Button family on the Button Cattle Co. ranch and farm and get to know the history of their generational way of life and what the future might look like in their business, given the externalities that are placing more and more significant stress on the industry, e.g. climate change, geographical sanctions, meat trade, politics and global import/export economics.” The Travelers Blueprint is an indie travel podcast where each week we like to bring you insight from travel authors, adventurers, conservationists, digital nomads, tour guides, and through our own personal experiences.

TTB 201: Composing an Album on a Cross-Country Train Trip Cheryl B. Engelhardt is a composer and songwriter. She’s toured all over the world, had music in over 40 tv shows and commercials, performed on stage with Sting, and was recently featured in People and Forbes for her social justice choral piece “The Listening”, featuring Martin Luther King Jr’s goddaughter, Donzaleigh Abernathy. “The Passenger” is Engelhardt’s seventh album, a follow up to her first two best-selling and award-winning New Age albums, “Luminary” and “A Seeker’s Slumber”. This week we speak with Engelhardt, who composed and produced “The Passenger” while on a cross-country train trip, the first person ever to create an album on a train. She did so just two weeks after her best friend passed away from cancer. The trip and the creation process was one of grieving, healing, gratitude, and rest. The album features GRAMMY-winning and GRAMMY-nominated soloists who provide a decadent layer to Engelhardt’s carefully composed ambient beds. The all-female-produced album was mixed by Engelhardt and mastered by Kim Rosen of Knack Mastering.

TTB 166: Holistic History in Travel Ja’Vonne and Gene were well aware that there was an unmet need among African Americans who not only wanted to see the world, they wanted to do it in style. More than have a great time, they want to learn about and experience other cultures first hand. In response, Ja’Vonne and her husband Gene, whose combined experience in event management, broadcasting, marketing and travel exceed 45 years, created a business to fulfill those needs. In 1998, they launched Advantage International. Since then, the couple has escorted thousands of African Americans with wanderlust to the far reaches of the world: various African and European destinations, Australia, the Caribbean, China, India, Israel, Thailand, United Arab Emirates and Vietnam, to name a few.
