In this episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Wander the World with Sharon”, award-winning travel writer and photographer Sharon K. Kurtz takes us on a magical river cruise through storybook Bavaria. From historic cities to charming medieval villages, Sharon shares her solo travel experiences exploring this enchanting region of Germany.
Sharon discusses the rise of solo travel, especially among women, and the joys of unpacking her suitcase only once while discovering multiple destinations along the river. Highlights include the Chagall windows at St. Stephan’s Church, Nuremberg’s famous sausages, Bamberg’s smoked beer, Rothenburg’s Christmas store, and Bavaria’s exceptional local wines. The conversation also reflects on the importance of remembering history while embracing the present-day beauty and culture that Bavaria offers.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
