Where in the world is LN? ·

2015/04/04

Whenever I travel, I always hear heaps of worries/warnings. "YOU COULD GET MUGGED!" "THE WORLD IS DANGEROUS!" "Just stay home, already!" These things aren't just local to me. It happens to everyone! Including my friend, Victor (from Victorstravels.com). He went on a bike trip and got the same warnings. Are they actually valid? That's what we find out.

2015/02/28

Roadtrips across America are a national past time. I've taken one at least every year for over the past decade. But this story isn't about me! It's about Whitney, Ben who (willingly) kidnapped Matthew while driving an airstream trailer from coast-to-coast on I-10. Whitney wanted to build a tiny house for herself, so she bought an airstream and renovated it in Florida. But she needed to drive it across the country back to California. She called her Bestie (Ben) for help. In Austin, Tx, they

2015/02/01

I'm seriously excited about this, guys!!! New podcasts where I interview OTHER PEOPLE! and get their travel stories! (As well as give you a story of my own...

To be fair,

ep6. Weddings

Where in the world is LN? ·

2014/09/05

Everyone celebrates a joining of 2 people in many different ways around the world- to me, it seems like almost anything can go these days. In some cultures you have a dowry- in others you have a "bride's price". In some cultures you can get engaged/married with in a few hours of meeting and in others you have to wait a certain period of time before the talk of marriage is discussed. In this podcast we're going to be talking to various people and hear how their traditional weddings take place Akmed

ep.03 Elephant Culling

Where in the world is LN? ·

2014/08/13

African elephants used to be endangered. Now they are protected and their numbers are climbing- but as their numbers climb, so does the number of farms they devistate. Since 60% of southern african citizens depend on their farms and land for survival, this poses a big problem. So what do you do? I discuss the various culling techniques that have been used/put in play and their outcomes. What do YOU think should be done? Tweet @hydrix13 or email me at LN.Lurie at yahoo.com. Visit my blog for
