This Chicago Magic Show Will Shatter All Your Quarantine Illusions

November 8, 2020 No Comments
Chicago Magic Lounge's virtual magic show homepage with wine

Just when you thought we’d digitized every imaginable thing, Chicago Magic Lounge still has one more trick up its sleeve—a virtual magic show. Paired with a cocktail hour. So, when Global Debauchery got an opportunity to “attend” a show, I was all in. Drink in hand. …I had no idea I’d experience such a magical […]

SLIDING RIGHT INTO THE GOOD STUFF with @jriegerco SLIDING RIGHT INTO THE GOOD STUFF with @jriegerco and @visitjriegerco! 🛝

J. Rieger & Co. has actually been around since the late 1800s. It [temporarily] met its demise during the Prohibition, but was resurrected in 2014. They’re mainly known for their Kansas City Whiskey (which I bought a bottle of), but they also craft this fun little Missouri specialty—Caffé Amaro (another bottle purchased). What they’ve done is taken the digestif Amaro, mixed it with a Kansas-City-based coffee roast, and let it sit in a Whiskey barrel for a bit. Yum, amiright? 🤤

Add a vodka and a gin into the mix and you’ve basically got a smorgasbord of Missourian liquors all in one place. Take a tour with your friendly “spirit guides,” have a tasting, spend some time in their downstairs speakeasy, and then take a ride down their slide. Which is pretty much the best part of the whole experience after a little alcohol consumption. 👏

👉 It’s worth a mention that this is also where I learned the terms “devil’s sweat” and “angel’s share,” which I kind of took to. It’s the liquor that leaks through the barrel slats. Fun, huh? 👿🥵😇😪 Have you heard these terms before?

When you think of wine country or distilleries, Mi When you think of wine country or distilleries, Missouri probably isn’t the first place you had in your head. BUT DANG, Y’ALL—IT SERIOUSLY MIGHT NEED TO BE. 🤯

You see, @visitmo, @visitkc, and @missouriwine invited me to tour around the state with them. And let’s just say the entire trip absolutely knocked my socks off. Not even kidding. 🧦

With 130 wineries and 55 distilleries, Missouri’s got at least 185 reasons you need to visit. 🥂

👉 Stay tuned and learn a little more about the best of the best Missouri wine and spirits hot spots over the next few days! OR, just read my new blog post in my bio link.

I KNOW, I KNOW... YOU'RE ALL LIKE—"GOOD GAWD, WH I KNOW, I KNOW... YOU'RE ALL LIKE—"GOOD GAWD, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?" 😆⁠
⁠
Just kidding. ...But you know you missed me. 😉⁠
⁠
The answer to that question, though, is EVERYWHERE. If you asked me what day it is, I MIGHT stand a 50/50 shot of getting it right at this point. Needless to say, I've been getting used to seeing my hometown... as I'm leaving to go somewhere else. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
So, where HAVE I been? ✈️⁠
⁠
In the last three months, I've been to 9 states (plus DC) and 3 countries. And in the coming months, I'm headed to at LEAST 3 MORE countries. But guess what? You get to experience them ALL right here in my feed! 🥳⁠
⁠
Stick around because, in the coming weeks, I'll be showing off...⁠
⁠
🇺🇸 Kansas City, Missouri⁠
🇺🇸 Wichita, Kansas⁠
🇩🇪 Hamburg, Germany⁠
🇵🇱 And, Poland⁠
⁠
In the coming months, you'll see...⁠
⁠
🇲🇳 Mongolia⁠
🇱🇧 Lebanon⁠
🇲🇽 And, Mexico City⁠

SNEAK PREVIEW!!! 👀 I KNOW y’all have heard m SNEAK PREVIEW!!! 👀

I KNOW y’all have heard me talk and talk about an upcoming Mongolia trip and saving some forgotten culture. But let THIS post put everything in context for you! Front and center. 🇲🇳

THIS is the gorgeous and remarkable community of the Kazakh nomadic eagle hunters in remote Western Mongolia. 🐎🦅😮

I’ll be participating in a women-led initiative that will provide the community with the resources necessary to—not only sustain tourism—but to sustain their way of life. ❤️

AND WE NEED YOUR HELP. We’re looking for donations—small or large—to help promote this award-winning program. 🙏

👉 If you have five minutes and $5, PLEASE consider supporting this effort! We will be forever grateful. Additional info + donation link in bio.

I'VE SAVED MY MOST IMPORTANT MOROCCO TIDBIT FOR LA I'VE SAVED MY MOST IMPORTANT MOROCCO TIDBIT FOR LAST. 🔥⁠
⁠
Anyone who knows me knows that cabs are my arch nemesis. 🙅🏻‍♀️ In EVERY country. Always. Without fail. I will inevitably get ripped off by a cabbie. This DESPITE the fact I actually spend time researching how to navigate cabs for any given destination I'm traveling to. My only saving grace is that—on MOST occasions—it's a difference of only a few bucks. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
So, here's how it works in Morocco. (It's actually not so bad, BUT... had I not known better in Casablanca, I would've been the victim of yet another con job.) ⁠
⁠
🚕 Every city has a different designated cab color. It'll be pretty obvious what that is in each city once you get there.⁠
🚕 Most of the cabs I jumped in happily used the meter.⁠
🚕 The couple that didn't were both in Casablanca. One was negotiated FOR us; the other was the rip-off artist who tried to charge us an absurd amount for the same trip as the first.⁠
🚕 There ARE local rates and tourist rates when negotiating. Which could literally be a few cents difference in the grand scheme of things.⁠
🚕 If you have any issues with a cabbie at ALL, tell them immediately that you want to be taken to a police station. (We were advised by a local guide that they're required to check in at their stations every morning and this declaration will inevitably put the fear of God/Allah in them.) ⁠
⁠
👉 Good luck. May the force be with you. How do YOU deal with sleazy cabbies?⁠

IT'S MONDAY. And you know what that means. It mean IT'S MONDAY. And you know what that means. It means I need a little motivational pep talk, so by default, you'll also be receiving one. ...TO THE AFFIRMATION CARDS! 🤲⁠
⁠
ULTIMATE POTENTIAL 🦸🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
I choose to live a life of my fullest potential. I trust that this will draw me towards experiences and people that support my growth and accomplishment. Tuning into this frequency, I now reach higher heights than I ever thought possible. Knowing that's an option, WHY WOULD I HAVE EVER TUNED INTO ANYTHING ELSE? (I'm looking at you, smooth jazz and talk radio.) 🤷🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
This being said, I have—not one, but—TWO webinars this week! Join me for one. OR BOTH. They're FREE. 😮⁠
⁠
🔹 "Everything You Need To Know About International Travel During Covid" with @sheswanderful. Tuesday, June 7th from 1–2pm EST. (That's tomorrow!)⁠

I NEED YOUR HELP. 🙏⁠ ⁠ Can you BELIEVE we'r I NEED YOUR HELP. 🙏⁠
⁠
Can you BELIEVE we're approaching the last few days of my Morocco content? Okay, maybe you can because it's been A LOT of content. But, YES, it's almost time to move onto the next. And there is SO. MUCH. to catch you up on. So, what's next? 🤷🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
The BIG thing is THIS: I'm working with a fellow Wanderful woman  @browngaltrekker to raise awareness for a women-led, ESL program in western Mongolia. 🇲🇳 And, while the local Kazakh community is putting me up for free, and while my time and talents will be on a volunteer basis, the airfare is... pricey. So, we're raising money for it. 💸⁠
⁠
It's all about building language equity, preserving a unique culture, and creating sustainable tourism for this small, nomadic eagle-hunting community. And it's an award-winning program. 🏆⁠
⁠
👉 If lifting up underrepresented cultures is your jam and, if you've got $5 + 5 minutes to spare, consider donating to this amazing effort. Visit my link in bio today. And let's spread some positivity into the world!⁠

🏙️ WHAT TO DO IN CASABLANCA... ⁠ ⁠ I mean 🏙️ WHAT TO DO IN CASABLANCA... ⁠
⁠
I mean, honestly... there's not a lot. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It's the business hub of Morocco. A little grittier than some of the other imperial cities. The highlights were one of the few Christian churches in the world actually depicting the figure of Satan in its stained glass; a big plaza filled with pigeons (if you like that kinda thing); and, the Hassan II Mosque. ⁠
⁠
Now, the mosque was cool. 🕌 It's the 2nd largest mosque in Africa and the 7th largest in the world. Non-Muslims can view its interior, and they don't even require you to wear a headscarf. ⁠
⁠
And, apparently, my dad likes those city pigeons. 🐦 Kudos to @up_left_or_seven for letting them crawl all over him and eat from his hand. Brave soul.⁠
⁠
👉 My recommendation? Use Casablanca as your flight hub. It's generally (not always) Morocco's cheapest airport. And then go see the REST of this beautiful country. Stat.⁠
⁠

HOW TO GET TO CHEFCHAOUEN 🗺️⁠ ⁠ The Blue HOW TO GET TO CHEFCHAOUEN 🗺️⁠
⁠
The Blue Pearl of Morocco is on everyone's bucket list. 💙 But a lot of people don't realize how far off the main tourist circuit Chefchaouen really is. It's north. Far north. And the closest major city is Tangier. Which is 2.5 hours away. So, how do you get there?⁠
⁠
🚘 You can drive. (Don't recommend.)⁠
🚂 You can train. (But only to Tangier.)⁠
🚌 You can bus. (Which is super long and winding.)⁠
💁🏻‍♀️ Or, you can do what we did. (And schedule a day tour.)⁠
⁠
The bonus is that Chefchaouen really IS is totally appropriate for a day trip. You don't need much more more. But it IS a viiibe. Home to wayward backpackers and, of course, medicinal marijuana fields. Travelers' paradise. So, if you want a slow couple days wandering blue alleyways, Chefchaouen is for you. 🌅⁠
⁠
👉 Gimme a 🙋🏻‍♀️ in the comments if Chefchaouen would be on your Morocco must-do list.⁠

SNEAK PREVIEW!!! 👀 I KNOW y’all have heard m SNEAK PREVIEW!!! 👀

I KNOW y’all have heard me talk and talk about an upcoming Mongolia trip and saving some forgotten culture. But let THIS post put everything in context for you! Front and center. 🇲🇳

THIS is the gorgeous and remarkable community of the Kazakh nomadic eagle hunters in remote Western Mongolia. 🐎🦅😮

I’ll be participating in a women-led initiative that will provide the community with the resources necessary to—not only sustain tourism—but to sustain their way of life. ❤️

AND WE NEED YOUR HELP. We’re looking for donations—small or large—to help promote this award-winning program. 🙏

👉 If you have five minutes and $5, PLEASE consider supporting this effort! We will be forever grateful. Additional info + donation link in bio.

I'VE SAVED MY MOST IMPORTANT MOROCCO TIDBIT FOR LA I'VE SAVED MY MOST IMPORTANT MOROCCO TIDBIT FOR LAST. 🔥⁠
⁠
Anyone who knows me knows that cabs are my arch nemesis. 🙅🏻‍♀️ In EVERY country. Always. Without fail. I will inevitably get ripped off by a cabbie. This DESPITE the fact I actually spend time researching how to navigate cabs for any given destination I'm traveling to. My only saving grace is that—on MOST occasions—it's a difference of only a few bucks. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
So, here's how it works in Morocco. (It's actually not so bad, BUT... had I not known better in Casablanca, I would've been the victim of yet another con job.) ⁠
⁠
🚕 Every city has a different designated cab color. It'll be pretty obvious what that is in each city once you get there.⁠
🚕 Most of the cabs I jumped in happily used the meter.⁠
🚕 The couple that didn't were both in Casablanca. One was negotiated FOR us; the other was the rip-off artist who tried to charge us an absurd amount for the same trip as the first.⁠
🚕 There ARE local rates and tourist rates when negotiating. Which could literally be a few cents difference in the grand scheme of things.⁠
🚕 If you have any issues with a cabbie at ALL, tell them immediately that you want to be taken to a police station. (We were advised by a local guide that they're required to check in at their stations every morning and this declaration will inevitably put the fear of God/Allah in them.) ⁠
⁠
👉 Good luck. May the force be with you. How do YOU deal with sleazy cabbies?⁠
