2016/07/17

This is part 3. If you haven’t heard the previous ones- stop now. Go back- listen. We’ll wait…. ——— -------- A friend of mine went to Hawaii for 38 days The text from her read: “omg! The craze! I miss my dogs, I can’t wait to be home, I don’t understand how you can just roam…” I empathize with this. I really do. Being homesick is no joke- It makes you quite blue. And the only solution that works for me Is to download some apps before I flee That help me keep in contact with friends and family

PRE-THOUGHT NOTE: #Confession: I have stopped listening to other podcasts. I know… I know… I'm confessing this even though this is a link to listen to a podcast. I can hear you now: "BUT! LN! HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO GET BETTER AT MAKING PODCASTS??!?" #Tangent: I had this problem when I graduated from college- where I had to stop listening to music because all I would do is analyze it. (I-V-vi-iv)… Over and over again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOlDewpCfZQ The same thing happened to me with

A story of a really bad travel experience in 2012.... that ended up with me being alive. Thanks (or no thanks?) to my procrastination. / / / / / ------------- / / Transcript: / / There was a time when I was VERY MUCH into crossfit. It's this exercise cult thing- and they have their own games- like the olympic games, but with weight lifting and way less attention to personal safety. / / / / In 2012, the crossfit games were being held in LAX in July- and I was gonna go. / / / / First problem: I

2016/02/14

Once upon a time, I was a normal person.... I had the "American Life" - the thing that is supposed to make you happy, but I wasn't.

I set off to get that back. www.facebook.com/whereisLN @whereisLN LN.Lurie@yahoo.com www.LNLurie.com 100-item challenge: http://www.lnlurie.com/100-item-challenge/ Typhoon Disaster Relief - http://www.lnlurie.com/ep-17-disaster-relief-stories-from-haiyan/

Where in the world is LN? ·

2016/01/31

I remixed/re-mastered this podcast for a few reasons: 1) It's good (for me) to remember where I came from. 2) I'm currently soaking up Vitamin D right now- and don't have time to put out a whole new podcast. 3) It's a good story that you may/may not have heard. And every time I re-tell it--- I tell it differently. www.LNLurie.com

Happy Holidays, guys. Yea. it's THAT season. I'm living in Minneapolis and was involved in a holiday-story-reading thing called Xmas Quilt. Xmas Quilt is a collection of stories and poems and music to, you know, get you into the holiday spirit. I, of course, recorded the whole thing and assembled a few of my favorite stories here after adding some sound design and music- because that's what I do. My partner in Crime is named Nyla - which you'll hear in the first story. Just as a reminder- this

Where in the world is LN? ·

2015/11/23

I get asked the question "What is your favorite country" a lot... VERY OFTEN! And one of my favorite countries is Albania. Beaches, mountains and food aside, I love countries that go through a lot of hardship (WW2, communism, totalitarianism, pyramid schemes, etc) and end up still banding together and flourishing as a nation. www.LNLurie.com

Imagine...... You’re living in Kosovo. Your passport is useless because you’re living in a country not fully recognized by the UN. You’re young! You have ideas! But the government doesn’t want to listen to it. And because the government won’t listen to you- you don’t vote… So… what do you do?

Stuff always falls apart while traveling. Plans change, health declines. Items disintegrate… Relationships fade… It doesn’t always happen, but it’s usually inevitable, no matter where you are, as nothing is made to last forever. This episode will talk about just that… Things falling apart.

2015/09/26

What would you do if you had 100Million Euros (or more!) to spend on a country? What would you spend it on? The leaders of Macedonia chose statues... And lots of them. So many that you kinda get overwhelmed... At least I did. Thank you Mia, Maya, Lana, Erika and Matthew for giving me your opinions on these statues.

Ep18. (Don't) hurry up and wait... In Alaska

Where in the world is LN? ·

2015/09/13

I've always complained about the "hurry up and wait" mentality. I *KNOW* that you should always be appreciative and aware of the place that you are... And not try to rush life. Yet, I still struggle with this, daily. There's hope (for me), though! I got slightly closer to understanding this during my latest trip to Alaska. www.LNLurie.com

2015/06/07

Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) hit the Philippines on November 7, 2013. It had winds that were stronger than Hurricane Sandy and Katrina combined. I was there before, during and stayed to help with relief. Along the way, I met my friend, Ian, who was doing the same thing. In reflection of the disasters that have happened lately, I thought this was over-due. These are reflection stories about the people that we met along the way. Good/Bad/Ugly- all of them were trying to survive in the way that they

2015/04/26

I was in Peru and everyone is all "OMG! Are you gonna go on the Machu Pichu trek?" ...sure! Why not? So I did. But I can't tell you what the ruins were like- because the trek's journey and all the drama of this guy sticks out in my mind more than the ruins ever will. This is the best example, in my life, of "It's about the Journey, not the destination". Lauren Jennings helps me retell the story.
