00:00 Live from 42nd Street in New York City, you're watching PIX Morning News.

00:12 All right, traveling the world can definitely broaden your horizons.

00:15 It can also inspire you.

00:17 A new travel magazine sets out to do just that.

00:19 Joining me from afar magazine is its co-founder, Joe Diaz, and he's here to tell us about five

00:24 trips that could inspire a new career.

00:26 Joe, welcome to the show.

00:27 Well, thank you very much.

00:28 Happy to be here.

00:29 It's kind of neat to go away on vacation and get inspired.

00:31 I think a lot of us get that feeling sometimes.

00:33 First thing you want to talk about is Greece.

00:35 I've been, inspired me to appreciate sunsets.

00:37 I don't know about a new career.

00:39 What's the career?

00:40 It's a great place.

00:41 Well, first off, let me say we're really excited to be here.

00:42 Far has put together some great trips, hands-on, fun, experiential.

00:45 I'm going to take you outside the box a little bit and hopefully inspire you to make that

00:49 career change.

00:50 So the first one, Greece.

00:51 Tethys Research Institute.

00:53 You're going to get to work alongside marine biologists where you're tracking dolphins,

00:57 checking out their behavior, and doing a little bit of community outreach, talking to local

01:01 fishermen about how to preserve their most precious resource, the oceans.

01:04 Absolutely.

01:05 It's all about the seafood there in Greece.

01:07 Sounds great.

01:08 All right.

01:09 Next up, we're going to go to Morocco.

01:10 Never been there.

01:11 What's going to inspire you?

01:12 How will I be inspired in Morocco?

01:13 Well, International Kitchen does a trip called Feast for the Senses.

01:16 They're going to take you to Fez, Morocco, a 1,200-year-old city.

01:20 You get to stay in a 14th-century palace, work alongside a professional Moroccan chef,

01:25 and really check out the most amazing spice markets in the world.

01:28 That sounds outstanding.

01:30 Let's go to New Zealand.

01:31 I think I'd be inspired to play golf, but I bet you have something else in mind.

01:35 This is an amazing trip because it's a little bit more creative.

01:39 It's sponsored by the Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms.

01:44 What you get to do here, $30, you go to their website, you check out a whole database of

01:50 their listings.

01:52 For only $30, you get access to some of the most amazing listings in the world for organic

01:56 farms.

01:57 Now, why is New Zealand so big with the organic?

01:59 Well, New Zealand has just been really well-known for their organic.

02:03 They do a lot of great organic wines.

02:05 Hawke's Bay is one of those favorite places to go.

02:09 Have you been to New Zealand?

02:10 I have not been to New Zealand.

02:12 This is going to be my winter break.

02:13 I think that's going to be the trip.

02:14 Lucky man.

02:15 Just get into the travel magazine business and you get to travel.

02:18 That would inspire you.

02:19 Exactly.

02:20 Now, we're going to go to a place that might inspire you for healthcare, you say.

02:24 What is that place?

02:25 Yeah, well, healthcare has kind of been top of mind.

02:27 We're going to take you to Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, where you're going to be working

02:31 alongside doctors and nurses in local daily clinics, hospitals, honing your Spanish skills,

02:39 checking out the Mayan ruins.

02:40 Pretty cool trip.

02:41 Now, are we doing something like this for volunteer work or are you getting paid?

02:46 Well, you know what?

02:47 This is actually a volunteer program.

02:48 This program will run you actually around $1,700 for the trip, but it makes you feel

02:55 good.

02:56 I know a lot of people have gone down to Mexico and done a lot of charity work, same kind

02:58 of way.

02:59 Same kind of way.

03:00 All right, next up, a place I went to last year.

03:01 It was awesome.

03:02 We're talking about Bali, Indonesia.

03:04 We are super pumped about this trip.

03:13 It's a great combo.

03:14 You're going to be able to teach school children, Balinese school children, how to speak English

03:19 and then hang ten with some of the locals on some of the world's best waves.

03:23 Pretty amazing stuff.

03:24 The waves there are really incredible.

03:25 Yeah, it's really exciting.
