The Ageless Traveler

"Cycling allows me to explore and discover places that I might not otherwise go." Dan Shryock

 Join us as we cycle through the stunning landscapes of Oregon with Dan Shryock, author of Cycling Across Oregon. 

One of the most engaging parts of the conversation is Dan's practical advice for both novice and experienced cyclists. For those who have never cycled before, Dan encourages trying out a comfortable bike and exploring local parks before committing to longer rides and the benefits of e-bikes. 

Whether you ride solo or with a group, the connections formed during these journeys can be incredibly rewarding. Dan's experiences reflect a growing community of cyclists who share a love for adventure and exploration.

I'm deeply saddened by the devastating earthquake that rocked Myanmar and Bangkok on March 28. Having traveled to Bangkok several times and once to Myanmar, I believe in the resilience of the Thai government and its people to recover. However, Myanmar remains one of the world's poorest countries, and during my visit to deliver toys and books to schools along the Mekong Delta, my heart broke witnessing the children's plight.

Please join us in our podcast as we celebrate Thailand and consider supporting the children of Myanmar through a donation: ChildFund Myanmar Earthquake Relief. https://www.childfund.org/campaigns/emergencies/myanmar-earthquake-lightbox/

"No one lands at Good Grief by accident. Many of our volunteers are people who want to hold a hand back to Grievers."

As part of Podcastathon, they discuss the invaluable work Good Grief does, offering programs that help young people cope with loss through creative expression and peer support. Discover how Good Grief is changing the narrative around grief in schools and communities, and learn how you can get involved.

"The only limits we have are the ones we put on ourselves."

Are you ready to embrace your encore years? In our latest episode, I sat down with Susan Williams, founder of Booming Encore, to explore how to find purpose and meaning in retirement. Discover ikigai, a Japanese philosophy that encourages you to discover what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and for what you can be paid.

Williams also shares insights from the book Retirement Heaven or Hell, which documents the journey of Booming Encore contributor Mike Drak. His experience highlights the importance of having a plan and the principles that can guide individuals back to a fulfilling life after retirement. 

This comprehensive approach is not just about financial gain; it's about understanding activities' intrinsic value to our lives. Williams emphasizes that volunteer work, for instance, contributes to the community and enriches our lives. This perspective is crucial as many of us face the reality of 'retirement shock,' the feeling of loss, and lack of purpose after leaving the workforce.
