    International cities are placing more and more restrictions on AIRBNB hosts.  Diann fleshes out those restrictions in 6 cities so that you know when an AIRBNB has followed city guidelines.  When AIRBNB hosts do not register with their city, their apartments can be yanked from AIRBNB at any moment...even AFTER you have booked and paid.

    Listen to learn how to know when an AIRBNB has followed city restrictions.

    This is Part Two.  Part One provides restriction information regarding US cities. You can find it in the list of episodes at below this episode.

  • The Anatomy of My Eye: myopia, cataract, vitreous and retina detachment

    Do you know about myopia?

    Do you know it can affect more than just the quality of your eye sight?

    Do you know it can affect the health of the retina?

    Do you know a frequent error that occurs during cataract surgery?

    Do you know that frequent error can serverely affect the health of the retina?

    I learned from my eye doctor in Prishtina, Kosovo, what my eye doctor in Amelia Island, Florida, failed to tell me about myopia, cataract surgery, and potential retina complications....complications that can cause loss of sight.

    This informative and dramatic podcast details my experiences from Madrid to Kosovo and...how many times I came close to losing my sight.

    And, note, unfortunately, the story continues after this podcast, first released in early 2018.

  • Auschwitz

    Among all the crushing images I saw at the Auschwitz-Birdenau Memorial and Museum, it was the hair that had the most immediate and lasting effect. Actual hair sheared from the heads of every man, woman, and child prisoner; disinfected; wound in balls; and placed in net bags. I saw a roomful of this hair, discolored by the years, but unmistakably human brown, gray and white hair.

  • I really liked this guy, and....

    IN CASE YOU MISSED IT!

    Diann of DiannAbroad tells her story...the truth...about a 7-year relationship. But, it's not what you think. Oh no...

    They met in Amelia Island, Florida in the Lounge of the Ritz Carlton hotel at the Concourse d'Elegance car show. You know, where the "swells" dwell.

    That's how it all started.

    It's a love story, of sorts.
