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.

I enjoyed this episode and relate to it so much. ♥️
I absolutely love to travel! It's like a breath of fresh air, allowing me to break free from the monotony of daily routines and responsibilities. There's nothing quite like the excitement of exploring new places, immersing myself in different cultures and trying out new experiences. But you know what makes my travel experience even better? Pre-booking an airport transfer in Liverpool through AtoB Transfer https://atobtransfer.com/united-kingdom/liverpool-airport-transfers/ . This way, I can ensure a hassle-free journey from the moment I step off the plane. No more worrying about finding a taxi or dealing with public transportation.
Women, like men, have diverse interests and motivations for traveling, and it is essential to avoid making generalizations. However, there are some common reasons why many women enjoy traveling: Traveling allows women to explore new places, cultures, and experiences, providing a sense of adventure and excitement. Traveling can be a transformative experience, pushing women out of their comfort zones, fostering independence, and encouraging personal growth.
школа не знаю как дела ггде его можно будет забрать в понедельник если есть возможность
this is beautiful, thank you.
"if you're an introvert, pretend you're an extrovert." What an insulting recommendation! As an introvert, great ways to solo travel, but get to know the people and places around you, are to go to museums/exhibits where you may find others with similar interests (and thus, conversation starters). I find walking tours and museum tours to be great ways to meet new people as well.
Earrings are one of things I never leave the house without, so for 30 yrs I always buy earrings everywhere I travel also!
