Pack your bags. Let's take a ride. 5 minutes flat and we'll explore the wide with Forrest. Kelly, it's travel time. It's the best five minute travel podcast. Let's go.
Speaker B:But now it's. It's done. And in between, I was traveling already, so you don't have to fix it perfectly. Right.
You just fix parts and next year you fix the next part. But that was after two years. I realized, hey, I can do that. And then I got into my car and went on a five month trip all over Europe and enjoyed it.
Speaker C:You were writing about the entire trip?
Speaker B:I did. And I. I founded another blog.
So I've got one with just my diary on it and one which is made for other persons who are traveling alone, traveling old cars who want to be like slow travelers. So that blog really works pretty well. And I got a lot of corporations with it. So that blog earns money. I still can't believe it.
Speaker C:Website is. Is. What is the web address?
Speaker B:So for the. The blog I just mentioned, that's Bully Risen Ryzen is traveling eu and then there. I'm building new website at the moment which is just Romano Rocks.
Speaker C:So it's Ramona. R O M A Romana.
Speaker B:R O M A N A dot rocks.
Speaker C:R O C K S. Yeah.
Speaker B:Okay, that's a new one of these new endings, I think that's.
Speaker C:So that's the whole. That's the whole website. Ramona rocks.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's it.
Speaker C:Okay, so it's not dot com.
Speaker B:No, that's dot rocks.
Speaker C:Dot rocks. Okay.
Speaker B:That's so cool, isn't it? Yeah, I. I have to. I have my like English. English writing channel on it, but I have to redo it right now. So at the moment it's, it's. It's just a mess.
Speaker C:Right? Yeah. You'll get it figured out though. How many books have you written?
Speaker B:10 and finished number 11, which is my second novel. And I just finished the layout. Layouting is the thing I don't like very much. I like the writing better, but it has.
Speaker C:Oh, the layout is what catches the eye and then the words will keep you there.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:Then what are some of the other ranges of books? You've got a book on astrology?
Speaker B:Yeah, I am an astrologer. I studied it for three years on the astrological school in Salzburg. So from that day on, my dream was to write an astrological cookbook.
Because I know as an astrologer that different signs, they eat differently, they want to have their meal in different surroundings. And I wanted to write a book with recipes in it.
Where, for example, and here we have to be clear that we don't talk about the star sign, but the sign in which the moon is located. That persons, for example, with the moon in Aries, they are fast eaters and they never have time. Right. They are like fire.
And so you wouldn't get them to the table and then make them wait for an hour. They don't like that. So. And stuff like that I put into the book and recipes from all over the world, vegetarian recipes, of course.
So people really love their. As it's the only book on the German market at the moment with this content.
Speaker C:Wow, that's. Yeah, that's a different angle that you. You've got. And you have tested all of these recipes out and you've tested these philosophies and things.
Speaker B:Yeah, we did a very strict plan. I had a photographer for them, for the food, because food photography is a real tricky thing.
And she came over for a Sunday and I had to cook the whole course, so the whole meal, four courses and a cocktail. And she took the pictures. And as you can imagine, for taking pictures, you always need much more food than you would need for just two persons.
So when we. When we were done, we always had friends coming over, up to eight people and eat all the stuff I cooked all day.
Speaker A:We've touched down and landed. The episode's done with five quick minutes travel and fun.
Speaker B:This is your captain speaking. We have cut you down. That completes this episode.
