To everything there is a season a time to be born a time to die a time to plant and a time to uproot a time to kill and a time to heal

a time to break down and a time to build a time to weep and a time to laugh and a time to build. A time to weep and a time to laugh and a time for your questions

and my answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. The Let's get started with some travel related questions.

Glen Folow asks, have you visited the Diomedes or St. Lawrence Island.

No, I have not, and nor are they very high on my list of places to visit.

The Diomedes are interesting because they're located so close to Russia and the International Dateline,

but other than that, there really isn't much about them that's interesting.

Likewise, St. Lawrence Island is interesting in that it's closer to Asia than mainland Alaska, but that's about it.

Both of these places are very difficult to get to,

and there are other Alaskan islands and parts of Alaska

that I think are more interesting.

For example, Round Island is a sanctuary for Walruses,

which I think would make for great

photography and would actually be something interesting to go and see. I have

planned a trip to Western Alaska in my head which would involve flying into Nome

in visiting the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and Cape

Cruzenster National Monument.

Mark Hyman asks, have you visited North Korea, Bouvet Island, or the Croze Islands?

And the answer to this is also no, no, and no.

I almost technically set foot in North Korea at the DMZ.

If you visit the DMZ, you can technically step inside the building where the ceasefire was signed and you can actually step over the line into North Korea.

However, the day I was scheduled to go, there was an ice storm and they closed it to tourist access.
