00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: tip is to take some time to follow your curiosity

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: and explore. You don't always need to have a purpose

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: or destination to have adventures out in the world. So

6
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: if you have a dog, you may have encountered the

7
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: term sniffari. It's a blend of the words sniff and safari.

8
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: A sniffari lets a dog literally follow his nose. You

9
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: are not walking the dog. I mean, sure, you are

10
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: at the other end of the leash, but you are

11
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: not leading your dog is within reason, you let him

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: go wherever his nose takes him. I am not the

13
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: primary dog walker in my family, but I can say

14
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: that when I walk our dog Max, he's always caught

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: the scent of something interesting. Maybe it's an animal that's

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: currently nearby, or a spot where another animal left a scent.

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a riding bit of fruit that's fallen off

18
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: a tree, or new mulch in the flower bed. Sometimes

19
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: I have no idea what he is smelling, but he

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: seems to be excited by it. Snafaris in a metaphorical

21
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: sense can be great for people too. You know, I

22
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: love to plan things I want to see or do,

23
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: but sometimes it's nice just to follow your nose. When

24
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: you are in a new city, consider leaving an afternoon

25
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: open just to explore. Go wherever catches your fancy. A

26
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: cheese shop, take a peek an antique map store. Why

27
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: not go in a flower market, walk through it and

28
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: imagine what you'd get if you were choosing flowers for

29
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: your kitchen table. A block where everyone has lovely window

30
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: boxes and flower pots on their stoops, linger and take

31
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: in the display a new scaffolding design that leaves a

32
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: sidewalk feeling much more open. Look around to figure out

33
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: how it works. Just follow your curiosity. Even in your

34
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: own town, you can take a snifari in a neighborhood

35
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: you don't frequent. You may be surprised at the delights

36
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: you encounter. Sniffaris work when you're in the woods or

37
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: a park too. You don't always have to go on

38
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: a hike or a run that covers distance. You can

39
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: take the slow way and stop and marvel at whatever flower,

40
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: or bark or bug catches your attention. Stefaris can be

41
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: particularly useful at big museums. You can never fully do

42
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: the LOUVER or the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the

43
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: British US, so perhaps aim for a few highlights you

44
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: definitely want to see, and while you're on your way

45
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: to them, or between them, or after them, stop and

46
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: look at whatever catches your attention. You'll see a lot

47
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: and maybe have some fun at the same time. In

48
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,200
