Changing and shifting times, indeed.
As we often remind you on this series, community and connection can be sources of strength in such times.
Music can be a reminder of community and connection. It can at times offer a gateway into ideas about these things, too, or a reminder of connection and shared ideas and values even across distance and time.
Real talk on money, safety, and finding your people when you're always moving.
Let's be honest: 10 years ago, telling someone you were going to work from Bali, Lisbon, and Buenos Aires all in the same year would've gotten you a side-eye. Work meant a cubicle. It meant rush hour and the same view every single day. Man, how things have changed. Now, if the Wi-Fi's strong enough, you're in business. Your office is a hammock, a hostel common room, or that perfect café corner no tourist has found yet.
Australia is a great starting point for anyone new to kayaking. Think calm rivers, sheltered bays, and reef-lined coastlines. You can focus on your technique while enjoying spectacular scenery, whether you’re gliding past city skylines or hovering above corals.
This guide covers some of the best places to try and the basic gear you should bring, so your first few trips feel safe and enjoyable.
When planning travels, many people first think about their destination. Stunning azure coastlines, iconic festivals, or legendary historical sites are the focal points toward which their dreams are drawn. In such a case, the choice of transport becomes a matter of convenience, speed, budget, and other important considerations.
But if you view travel not as a distance to be covered but as an adventure, then choosing a mode of transport becomes even more important. In this case, train travel offers many more opportunities to feel inspired and gain new experiences.
By preparing your residence prior to going on an extended vacation or trip, you will not only alleviate some of the stress associated with traveling, but also eliminate many of the issues you would normally deal with at home while travelling. When you are away from your home and are not able to perform your daily activities, things like unpaid bills, unattended mail, or unsecured belongings can very easily turn into larger issues. Taking the time to prepare your residence prior to your trip will help you to focus on your travels rather than on anything happening at home.
Today, the world is progressing toward legacy travel, trips that three or four generations travel together so that family history can shine with intention.
As a global educator, curious tourist, or a grandma who wants to share your culture with your extended family, these adventures allow your culture to live and thrive past the current oldest generation and live on for more generations to come.

It's spring again, and that means it is time for Detroit's Eastern Market to welcome vendors and shoppers back to the outdoor sheds.
I love the fact that the market is open year round, and your shopping experience at the Winter Market can include sighting someone suspiciously resembling Santa among a sea of poinsettias while you pick up supplies for your holiday parties.
Being an educator is incredibly fulfilling, but it can also come with financial challenges. Between student loans, modest salaries, and the high cost of living, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the thought of achieving financial freedom. However, the good news is that financial freedom is within reach for educators. With careful planning and smart strategies, teachers can balance paying off debt, saving for the future, and enjoying a comfortable lifestyle.
