The Most Famous Mountain in Armenia Isn’t Even There
What happens when a country’s most famous symbol isn’t even within its borders? We spent two weeks in Yerevan, Armenia chasing Mount Ararat, the country’s national symbol and the mountain tied to Noah’s Ark. Along the way, we explored the city’s pink-stone streets, its food and markets, the Cascade Complex, and the moving Genocide Memorial. Our search took us outside the city to the Arch of Charents, Garni Temple, the volcanic cliffs of the Symphony of Stones, and the rock-hewn Geghard Monastery.
Travel Burnout? Vacations are the Problem
Ep.168 Vacations are supposed to recharge you, so why do so many leave us exhausted? In this episode, we dive into travel burnout—why traditional vacations often lead to vacation fatigue—and share simple slow travel tips that help you come home rested, not drained. If you’ve ever felt like you needed a vacation after your vacation, you’re not alone.
Our Retirement, Our Rules
Ep.167 What if retirement wasn’t something you waited for, but something you shaped for yourself? In this episode, we talk about what really changed when we stopped asking for permission—from retiring without a perfect plan to learning how to spend without guilt, slow down without apologies, and live like this chapter belongs to us.
