    Aug 27 2024
    Join Calen, Darya, and Gio (Jorge) for an enlightening conversation on living a vibrant life, walking with death, and even falling in love on a volcano. In this episode we learn how Gio was able to create a eco-minded business that *actually* does serious good for his local community in Guatemala by investing in green tourism, prioritizing local workers, and extending well-being to the beyond-human world. Listen in to learn how to get volunteer tourism right, how to hike volcano Acatenango in Guatemala, and what moving to another country and uprooting your life to pursue love is like.

  • #75 Lessons For The Writer, The Rebel, And 30-Something-Year-Old With Ken Ilgunas
    Jul 31 2024
    Ken Ilgunas, author of 3 books including “Walden On Wheels,” has been called many things: a wanderer, pro-hitchhiker, journalist, and Alaskan back country ranger. Now, he’s taken on new titles like “husband” and “dad.” This leads us to ask: What happens to the most adventurous of our society when we enter a phase that calls for settling down, growing roots, and re-entering institutions? It’s a life transition that can feel tricky and hard to navigate. Luckily, Ken candidly shares what he’s learned while walking down this uncertain road that comes with no playbook. In this episode he takes us into the company of strangers by telling stories made of hitchhike magic, ex-cons, and religious hallucinations while thumbing his way thousands of miles across the US. He then pulls us behind the scenes of the writing process where he transforms these gritty life experiences into something worthy of being page-bound. Listen in as we ponder the sacredness of books; how writers risk damaging relationships in the name of creating good art; and how writing changes the narrative about our own lives. “I think to be a good artist, a small percentage of you has to be a sociopath. You have to be willing to sacrifice something in the name of the art.” Ken’s Substack: https://kenilgunas.substack.com/ Second Gear / Podcast Sponsor: https://secondgearwnc.com *Let them know the Unruly Podcast sent you for 10% off! - Unruly Travel & Living Blog: wanderwoman.online

    Have you ever thought about adopting a plant-based diet? Or maybe you’re like me, an old timer vegan who still feels lost in the kitchen. *Enter Destiny DeJesus on stage left* Destiny, creator of Eat Yo Destiny, is here to show us how to eat in a way that helps our bodies thrive, the planet heal, and protects animals from harm. A tiny house livin' vegan in Texas, she highlights how to make plant-based eating affordable by sharing her best money saving tips for the grocery store and beyond. In this episode she reveals how to transition from eating animals to a plant-based diet (even if you travel often), her healthy and easy go-to meals, a fool-proof recipe for crispy tofu, the reality of buying and living in a tiny house, and why food pantries are for everyone. We answer questions from our listeners like, “Does going raw vegan really make your period cramps go away?”, “Have you ever accidentally eaten something that wasn’t vegan?," and most importantly, “How does Scotty like VDog?” 🐶 - Anti-speciesit language tips: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/2023/03/31/is-veganism-a-diet-language-tips/ - Eating plant-based on a budget: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/2018/07/22/eating-plant-based-on-a-budget/ - Vegan while traveling: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/2017/05/01/eat-well-and-travel-vegan/ - Eat Yo Destiny website: eatyodestiny.com - Destiny’s tiny house tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDxngthjVjs - Vegan cream cheese taste test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC-oC7Ex3VE * Chopped vegan cheese in the Bronx: https://eatplantega.com/ * A quick, affordable, and healthy meal for those on the go: https://katu.com/afternoon-live/cooking-recipes/vegan-spicy-peanut-noodle-salad * Destiny’s favorite ramen recipe: https://www.veganricha.com/spicy-peanut-butter-ramen/ * Texas Eats Green: https://www.texaseatsgreen.com/ - Unruly Travel & Living Blog: wanderwoman.online - Unruly email newsletter: buff.ly/4a1bPwT - Join the Unruly Podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/unrulytravel - Donate to the podcast: SoundCloud - @unrulystories,
