Everybody is talking about electric cars these days and how these vehicles are the future. But what if I tell you electric vehicles first came to the world in the 19th century?! That's mad... but also true!

After the previous episode when we talked about the origins of AFTERNOON TEA, it is perfect timing to mention WHY TEAS ARE KEPT IN BAGS. And although China used tea bags way early around the 8th century, the story of how teabags become popular in the west is more curious.

Travel to Malaga, Spain! A walking tour with a guide in the Spanish city ► The Phoenicians first colonized the city of Malaga in 1000 B.C. and named it Malaka. The name of the city probably came from the Phoenician word 'Malac' which means 'to salt'.  The Phoenicians settled along the river, which was the fish-salting center.  

The beautiful city of Malaga offers around 330 sunny days in the year!  

*Alcazaba*

Malaga was under Moorish rule for over 7 centuries. It is not a surprise that you can find an Alcazaba here. The word Alcazaba means a Moorish fortification in Spain and Portugal. It literally translates as a walled fortification in a city and this particular Alcazaba is the best-preserved Alcazaba in the whole of Spain! 

Cathedrals can be found all around the world but that's not the case with Alcazabas. This is probably the most important landmark in Malaga.  Curious Fact: This Alcazaba was never taken by force throughout history!  Once, 7 000 Malagueños defended the castle against 80 000 Christians.

Why do we change to DST or Daylight Saving Time? History is happy to explain this to us. It goes back to Benjamin Franklin who only mentioned it in an essay in the 18th century. George Hudson, who was born in New Zealand, introduced it for the first time almost 100 years later. But the first countries to implement it were the German Empire and Austro-Hungary in 1916 in order to save money from electricity and put them into war production. DST was used in WWI & WWII by other countries as well, following these two. It was a bit confusing at times as every country (and sometimes region) was choosing for itself. Nowadays it is a bit more standardized.

Last week on the show we talked about travelling as a solo traveller. When you travel by yourself you can expand your horizon, make new friends, and be alone with your thoughts. Those are just some of the benefits of travelling by yourself but as you can imagine, there are downsides to it as well. You are a little bit more likely to have awkward situations and conversations.

I tried solo travelling myself and found that it is not something that really fits me. I was very keen on hearing what Juleen has to say on the subject and we ended up discussing ways to meet people and make friends while travelling solo.

► About the guest:  

Juleen is a Jamaican lover of travel, wine, and the beach. Although she always had a desire to travel, it wasn't until she left Jamaica to attend college in the United States that her dream was actually realised. During her junior year, she spent a year living and studying in Europe (Italy and Hungary), while visiting other countries. It was during this time that her love of solo travel grew strongest. These days, Juleen hosts carnival- and wine-related group trips for solo travellers through her business Jump & Wine Travel. She also hosts weekly wine reviews on her social media accounts.  

=====

► Mentions in the Podcast:  

- Use dating apps to meet locals and other travellers. I usually change my dating app bio to state that I'm visiting the city until a certain date and that I'm looking for people to meet up with or someone to show me around.  

- Join travel Facebook groups. Before and during a trip, I usually, post in my travel groups asking for recommendations of things to do and ask if anyone else is in the area and would like to meet up for a meal or to do an activity.  

- Be willing to get out of your comfort zone and talk to strangers. If you are out and see another person by themself, try to strike up a conversation.  - Staying in hostels is great for meeting other travellers. That means, from the get-go, you have something in common, you love to travel and are exploring the same city. From there, you might meet people to go grab a meal with or go do an activity you are both interested in.  

- Participate in group activities. Walking tours or activities hosted by hostels, for example, are great places to meet others. During a walking tour, when the tour guide isn't talking, you can interact with the people around you. Even if you don't meet people you want to hang out with afterwards, you get in some social time.

It was just the last episode when we had Sally over, telling us about her travel app - a great concept that can start make you money straight away. But I also liked Sally's personality, not just her app. That is why I asked her if she has some interesting stories to share. To my surprise, she came back to me with a whole list :D I picked this one as it sounded really curious and I hope we can all learn from it (that is the idea of these travel stories that are shared every once in a while).

Enjoy!

About Sally:

Sally is a passionate traveler with 94 countries stamped on her passport. As she traveled the world, she found that her actual experiences were different from what she saw advertised, inspiring Sally to create NaviSavi.

Formerly a Senior Vice President at a Record Label for over 15 years, and with +1Billion cumulative YouTube views on her directing and producing content, Sally has spent her career creating and marketing short-form video content for Millennials, Gen X and Z, influential artists, and brands around the world.

#curiouspavel #travelapp #navisavi

Not so long ago I was networking on LinkedIn when a lady invited me to join an app because of a few travel pieces that I posted on that platform. I downloaded the app, played with it a bit, and the concept seemed quite simple: share raw videos - get money for them. I ended up sharing my feedback on how the app can be improved which got me meeting with a few team members, and eventually, I ended up talking to Sally on Instagram. I am excited to share this opportunity with you, my fellow curious friends :)

If you follow the podcast series then you'll recognize the guest. It's Barbara from episode 16 when she guided us around Thailand. Now she's back! I wanted to have a quick chat with her as she did something unheard of. Some 15 years ago she left her high level corporate job to travel the world. Despite people's warnings, Barbara went to chase her happiness. It's such a powerful story and to which many of us can relate to. You can now join the conversation, connect with guests and other listeners by using #curiouspavelpodcast on any social media network. Join in. Drop a post with the hashtag with questions, thoughts, or a country you want to hear about. About Barbara: After years of working 70-80 hours per week at jobs that paid the bills but brought no joy, a serious illness made Barbara Weibel realize she felt like the proverbial "hole in the donut" - solid on the outside but empty on the inside. In 2007, at the age of 54, Weibel walked aw from her successful career, sold or gave away most of her material possessions, and began traveling around the world in pursuit of her true passions: travel, photography, and writing. These days she makes her home in Thailand, which provides a base for traveling six to seven months each year. She writes about her adventures at Hole in the Donut Cultural Travel (https://holeinthedonut.com)."

Schools in the USA might stop teaching history. That is crazy news. That would be unfortunate for the children who will not know much of the past but also unfortunate for all the teachers. So what are your options if you are a teacher or want to be one? What can you do if you want to stick to history and not look for another job? Listen to this episode which may give you a few ideas.

Italy's Forrest Gump ► Forrest Gump is famous for the many quotes and accomplishments. But it might just be the case that we got ourselves a real-lif Forrest Gump. 

That happened last week in Italy. A man argues with his wife and ends up walking 450 km to cool off! 

WHO DOES THAT?!?! 

The story ends with the police who finds the man wandering around. Imagine if the police couldn't have stopped him... he could have been still walking, even to this day. 

While many conclusions can be taken away from this story, something different came to my mind when I heard about this case. Listen till the end.

Queen Victoria ruled in a time of prosperity when the British Empire reached almost a quarter of the world. Becoming a Queen at the age of 18, she was the first monarch to make Buckingham Palace the official residence of the monarch. Few years after that she got married to Albert of Saxe-Coburg Gotha. He and the Queen had 9 children and 42 grandchildren. Most of them got married in different countries- Spain, Russia, Germany, Romania, Greece, Norway, and more. This "gave" Queen Victoria the title "Grandmother of Europe". Albert died about 20 years after he got married which devastated the Queen. She wore black clothes till the rest of her reign which in total was 63 years and 7 months, also known as the Victorian Era. That was the longest a monarch has ruled in Britain and she kept that record until Queen Elizabeth II broke it in 2015.
