Hi, this is Kelly McEvers, and you've reached the Atlas of the Cura podcast line.

I'm not at home right now, but please leave me a message telling me about your New Year's travel resolutions,

the things that you are hoping to change about how you travel or see the world after the beep.

Hey, Atlas of Cura. My name is Kat. Hey, Alice Apira.

My name is Kat.

I'm based in Baltimore.

And my travel resolution for 2026 actually came into to me in a dream each other night, and it is a quest.

My father passed away a bit over 10 years ago, and a few weeks before he died, he had built

my mom a farm table himself. He built houses for a living, so, you know, was able to build

furniture, and so the last gift he gave her was this beautiful imperfect farm table.

My mom, when she moved from one side of the country to another a few years ago,

got rid of a lot of things, including that farm table.

I know she sold it to a witchy shop in New England.

And last night, my dad came to me in a dream and said,

Cat, you got to get it back.

So I don't know if the table is still at this shop,

and if it is or isn't, if I'll be able to get it back,

but my 26th travel quest is to go up to New England

and get the table back and bring it home to be with family again.

Wish me luck.

Hey there, team at Atlas Obscura, long time listener. Love your show. I currently live in Sydney, Australia, and I travel a lot for work, but my partner also lives in Singapore, where I used to live.

And I now live in work here in Sydney and try to get to Singapore up until recently, probably once every two months.
