Please go to A Race Around the World feed for the remaining nine episodes. ___________________________________________________________________________ Nellie Bly isn’t the only woman to leave New York on November 14th to race around the world. On the same day, the editor of the Cosmopolitan magazine, John Brisben Walker, recognized the potential for a sensational story. He dispatched ( aka bribed, badgered, and threatened) his literary writer Elizabeth Bisland to jump into the race as well. But, instead of following the same path, Elizabeth took a westward route. She packs her items and jumps onto a train headed to San Francisco. While many know about the historical race from Nellie’s perspective, Elizabeth Bislands story is often left in the shadows and will provide an alternative perspective to going around the world. This episode sheds light on Elizabeth Bislands upbringing, her ambitions and talents, and how she got roped into this wild goose chase of a race.…

The more we travel, the more we find that home becomes more illusive. Home is a place we crave in our most harrowing moments and forget in the spontaneous bliss. But, the farther we travel from it, the more foreign it seems. It slowly becomes but a dream to us. Our lives consist of backpacks and tickets instead of a bed and a mortgage. Many of us left because home doesn’t provide all that it could for us. Others find gratitude in the homes they were raised in. Travelers begin to define home differently. It may no longer be a physical place, but a person, a landmass, a journal. We have to leave in order to find what needs to be discovered about ourselves or the world. Some of us don’t return. Others do. For those to choose to come back, they reinvest in their communities differently. They bring new ideas to old places. They teach those who don’t have as easy access to alternative ideas or traveling. And if we do choose to return, it won’t feel the same as when we left. We are more sensitive now to the pain, the triggers, the traumas of a past life. But those who have truly grown in their travels know how to overcome, to throw away the snake skin of their metamorphosis and begin to make home better. Because they know home has been within them all along. Featured Guests: Jeffery Enns, Georgia Clark, Cassandra Bianco, Laura Bronner…

Grown 1:07:20

Home is hopefully a wonderful place to grow. But it can keep us stagnant. Never challenge us for bigger things in life. Travel has ways of challenging us and forcing us to grow in ways we couldn’t have anticipated. We see what we are good at and where we can improve and reveal to us what our full potential is. But growth is not a singular moment- it is a series of moments, that build up over time- a gradual slope- like the ever wearing of wrinkles on a face, like the singular gray hair- like the singular leaf that turns orange before the rest. This episode will explore the theme of change in a new place. Who were you before and how did travel transform you? Featured Guests: Travelprenur , Bryan Berlin, Jon Barr, Traveling Vagabond…
