Women Who Travel | Condé Nast Traveler

It isn't every day that we have someone Skype into the podcast from Lake Malawi—but this week's guest is Jessica Nabongo, who's well on her way to becoming the first black woman to visit every country in the world. This episode, we're catching up with Jessica (currently on 151 of 195 U.N.-recognized countries) about everything she's learned so far. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

This week, we're rerunning an episode from July 2018. About half the female staff at Traveler have lived (or are still living) the expat life, and are brimming with advice on international visa processes, apartment hunting, meet-up groups, and long-distance relationships (the latter often being the reason for moving in the first place). Here's advice for making the big move. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

This week on Women Who Travel, we invited our resident office bookworm, managing editor Paulie Dibner, and Riverhead Books' Associate Publisher Jynne Dilling Martin, back to the studio to chat about the books that captured their attention this year—and the books they can't wait to read in 2019.

This week, we're sharing an episode of Travelogue, the other podcast at Conde Nast Traveler. In it, our editors walk through our gift guides and give a few hints as to what they're giving this year (and what they're hoping to get). There's a little bit of everything: luggage (Away, of course), stocking stuffers to help reduce your plastic consumption, and the noise-cancelling headphones we've been raving about.

Sure, we love traveling with our parents (we've even talked about it on this podcast), but spending 54 days in a small cockpit, co-piloting a plane with them? Not so appealing. Talk to Georgia Dean, though, and it sounds like a piece of cake. The 26-year-old pilot just spent that much time in the air with her dad, flying a turboprop plane from Colorado Springs to some 23 different countries around the world, including Iceland, Spain, Italy, Greece, Jordan, and South Africa. In this week's episode Dean spills on what it takes to be a pilot—and how your worldview changes at 30,000 feet. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

In this week's episode, we talk to travel expert and host of PBS's Places to Love Samantha Brown about her origin story and so much more. Tune in to hear her talk about her most memorable trips, how her five-year-old twins have changed the way she travels, why the industry needs a real shake-up to bring new voices on board, and why every meal doesn't have to be the best thing you've ever eaten. (And whatever you do, don't get her started on Yelp.)

Here at Traveler, we tend to think that we travel a lot. Like, a lot a lot. But then we meet people who go for the extreme (say, hitting every country in the world, or solo-sailing the Pacific Ocean) and put us to absolute shame. Take Kate Harris, who hopped on a bike with her childhood best friend Mel and pedaled from Istanbul to China, following Marco Polo's Silk Road. Because traveling by camel caravan seemed a little too out there. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Whether it’s a family road trip or a girls’ weekend to a new city, we’ve all experienced the highs (and lows) of traveling in a group. In an ideal world, everyone returns home with a collection of shared memories that make you friends for life, but in reality, things more often fall closer to "I never want to see this person again." Our golden rules for a successful group trip? Choose your travel partners wisely, and, when it comes to money, honesty is always the best policy.

We chat with mothers, writers, and travelers about the types of trips they take, how what they prioritize on the ground has changed (spoiler alert: your kids will not care about that quaint French château as much as you do), and why, in this current political climate, it’s so important to show our children the world and to expose them to the different ways people live.

If you could give your 21-year-old self one piece of travel advice, what would it be? For some of us answering that question on this week's podcast, it was to be more fearless and to worry less about the small stuff (that lost luggage may feel like the end of the world in the moment, but it's really not). For others, it was to take advantage of more opportunities and to say yes to every trip that lands in front of you. But there was one thing we could all agree on: Travel only gets better as you get older. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

While our mantra is to be fearless, adventurous, and borderless, traveling alone can be a legitimate concern for all demographics: Are you treated differently when you travel by yourself? How do you push beyond your comfort zone? And why travel alone in the first place? There will be plenty of debates, anecdotes, and travel hacks to tune into, and we hope you enjoy listening to our first episode as much we did recording it.
