  • The one time and only

They don't want to pose as Americans that don't know about other countries and yet didn't... more

  • Stopped Listening

    Still love Donny, but after listening for a couple months, I got tired of Chaps’ condescending, rigid tone to anything not directly aligned with his views. Became very off-putting after a while and made me stop listening.

Donnie’s Cousin Was Kidnapped in Yemen (While Pregnant) (📍Yemen) | Drop A Pin Ep. 93
Q: How did your life change after moving into the ambassador's residence?
I gained a bodyguard and moved to a more secure, yet more constrained life, with restricted movement and constant security considerations, but I also lost some spontaneity and independence.

A high school boyfriend invited me to train journalists in Yemen for a few weeks; I took three weeks of vacation, went, and ended up becoming editor-in-chief a year later after they were impressed with my work.
A Real Disney Adult Walks Us Through The Ins And Outs Of Disney Travel (📍Disney) | Drop A Pin Ep. 86

Stop Being an Idiot With Your Airline Miles - The Point Guy Shows Us How | Drop A Pin Ep. 76
Q: How do you decide when to use a travel portal vs transferring points?
Travel portals can be convenient, but the best value often comes from transferring points into airline/hotel programs and booking through those programs, where pricing can be significantly better and taxes/fees can differ.
Stop Being an Idiot With Your Airline Miles - The Point Guy Shows Us How | Drop A Pin Ep. 76
Q: What is the basic structure for using credit card points to book flights to Europe?
Transfer the transferable points (like Amex MR, Chase UR, Citi TY) into airline programs (e.g., Flying Blue, Virgin, Delta, Star Alliance partners) and compare pricing across programs to pick the cheapest or best-value option before booking. Also check taxes and fees.
