  • Travel Safely: Why Burner Phones Are Essential for Privacy
    Dr. Chad emphasizes the importance of burner phones for travelers, stating they are "one of the simplest, least expensive ways of limiting the risk of loss or theft." He uses them to protect personal data on unsecured networks and in regions with weak privacy laws, ensuring a stress-free travel experience.
  • Affordable Kentucky Derby Experience: Tips from Travel Expert
    Dr. Walding advises, "Stay away from hotels within the immediate Derby area for savings." He suggests attending local viewing parties like The Thirsty Pig and enjoying public spots like Waterfront Park. "Plan early and know where to go for the experience you want," he adds, ensuring a memorable Derby experience on a budget.
  • Thoughtful Graduation Gifts: Beyond the Envelope
    Dr. Walding suggests, "While money is common, the amount should reflect the relationship," recommending $20-$50 for middle school and $50-$100 for high school graduates. He emphasizes thoughtfulness, suggesting personalized gifts or experiences like local activity gift cards or educational subscriptions. The key is showing care and support, not the gift's price.
