The Ageless Traveler

In ​this ​episode, ​I take listeners on a captivating journey through the vibrant streets of New York City alongside freelance journalist Jamie Ballard. As a seasoned traveler and writer, Jamie brings a wealth of knowledge about the city's hidden gems and culinary delights that even long-time residents may not know.
 
From the National Museum of the American Indian to the Immersive Labs Museum, and the South Street Seaport Museum.
 
Food enthusiasts will delight in Jamie's culinary recommendations, including her favorite pizza spot, Bellucci's. 
 
Finally, the episode wraps up with a sneak peek into Jamie's upcoming travels, including her plans for a trip to Montenegro, Moab, Utah, and Carlsbad, California.

"My dentist is in Tijuana; I report on my experience with dental tourism." Adriane

If you are considering medical tourism for dental care, get the insider view in this episode. Discover the fun and failures, and why I want you to know the inside story of dental care abroad. Dental costs can become a daunting reality. One solution is high-quality dental clinics abroad. Save between 50-70% on treatments. Is it safe and comfortable? Can you TRULY turn dentistry into a vacation? What's it like to get dental surgery in another country? To help you learn what's right for you, I interviewed the Founder of Dental Departures, the company I used to select the dental clinic over hundreds of others. 

This episode is a must-listen if you're looking for a way to manage your dental expenses without compromising quality. Join us as we navigate the world of dental tourism and empower ourselves to make informed healthcare choices that can lead to a healthier, happier, AND well-traveled lifestyle.
