Though travel and adventure have historically been publicly claimed by men, women have always been part of those narratives, too. Each week, host and Condé Nast Traveler editor Lale Arikoglu shines a light on some of those stories, interviewing female-identifying guests about their most unique travel tales—from going off-grid in the Danish wilderness to country-hopping solo—sharing her own experiences traveling around the globe, and tapping listeners to contribute their own memorable stories. This is a podcast for anyone who is curious about the world—and excited to explore places both near and far from home.

Journalist Lyse Doucet Likes to Think of the BBC as Her Passport
Lale chats with Lyse Doucet, the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent. Doucet’s career has taken her to places like Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Brazil—she often leaves for an assignment on a moment’s notice to cover natural disasters and turbulent warzones. If you follow the BBC World Service or BBC News, then her voice is likely familiar to you thanks to her decades of work spent bringing the stories of people and places around the globe into our living rooms, but it’s not often that she talks about her own life and work.

‘Love & Death’ Director Lesli Linka Glatter on Capturing Texas and Travels in Tokyo
Everyday we travel to far-flung places through our television screens, all thanks to the directors, location scouts, camera crews, and more who skillfully capture—or create—entire worlds for us to get lost in. One of those people is Lesli Linka Glatter, the award-winning director behind shows like Twin Peaks, Homeland, and Mad Men.

Customer Reviews
Artful Take on Travel
I have loved this podcast for years from my time as a young female traveler for the artful way you tell stories of travel. It goes beyond tips and hacks to offer new perspectives and rich stories. There’s no other podcast like it! Now that I’m a parent, I do wish this podcast was more inclusive of women like myself who now have children. I find the stories increasingly unrelatable and honestly discouraging as a parent who can’t travel in the ways your guests describe. As your audience moves through these life stages, it would add so much value for us (and fill a void for these types of stories) to include traveling mothers in your stories.
Vicarious enjoyment
I am just beginning my traveling adventures, but get so much vicarious enjoyment from this podcast. Always a delight to listen to & so professionally done. Many thanks for opening my world
No one seems to be traveling
I’m new to this podcast and I find myself just listening to the episodes in which the guests interests me. It’s a good podcast but I was looking for a travel podcast and it doesn’t really seem like anyone’s truly traveling, just famous people working in different places. I’d like to hear more about travel and less about Hollywood. I’ll continue giving it a chance though.
