Women Who Travel | Condé Nast Traveler

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.

Prefer the old format!

I’ve listened to every episode of Women Who Travel since the very beginning. I don’t love the new format - Lale is a great host even on her own, but the sound effects and music in the new format really bother me. I know they’re supposed to “immerse” the listener in a location, but they’re poorly timed and incredibly distracting. Please consider losing or paring back on those elements!

Surprisingly addictive - in a great way!

I started listening because the subject matter of one podcast intrigued me, then I listened to another, and another, and another, etc. The topics are interesting and capture my attention and imagination even if I think at first that I’ll have no interest. The host’s voice is mellifluous and she enchants me with her questions, intelligence, point of view, and warm and welcoming manner. A treasure to have found this podcast!

Inspirational and engaging

I love listening to this podcast while I’m doing anything. From exercising to doing work it’s always a go to for me. It’s very engaging and witty. I always gather fantastic recommendations or find myself inspired to try something new. It definitely makes my days better!

From upbeat to somber

While I appreciate the show’s new direction since Meredith (the old host) left, the show’s tone has gotten much more somber. Travel is supposed to fun, thrilling and exciting - not just somber soul searching! Bring the fun and laughter back.

Women and rravel

I love listening to all the travel stories. Empowering and courageous ways of experiencing culture and environment provide me with memories of my past travels as well as some future dreams of places I have yet to visit! I’m now 75 and ready for more,,,,

Encouraging and Engaging

Lale Arikoglu’s narration makes me eager to pack a bag and explore. Her travels are unusual and adventurous. Anxiety dissolves and curiosity expands. Ready for the next episode!

Culture and adventure in human stories

This podcast is like the Moth Radio Hour meets Bourdain. Really compelling interviews and anecdotes that bring you to new places and make you feel like one of the locals. And the host is fantastic!

Miss the Old Format

The new format for the podcast is so boring - bring back the old one! Lale is still lovely as always but the content has been done before. Snooze.

Not about Travel

Followed to listen about travel and ended up hearing about sex and soft core literary porn instead.

July 7th episode the worst!

Overall I have enjoyed this podcast but the episode titled “Responsible travel” on July 7th was so horrible I had to turn it off and write a review. Listening to the worst reductionist ideas of “responsible” travel which dripped of white savior syndrome made me gag. Did anyone listen to this episode and think critically if this was really a good episode? Claiming that “responsible travel” is when vacationers “educate” locals in hotels for 2hrs on topics and then get points for a massage should have been the red flag that this shouldn’t be put out into the world. Please think before hitting publish.

Older women who travel ?

I feel left out. There are lots of women who are retired or over 50 who travel solo like me. Please include us

Empowering and Informative

I love the broad spectrum of topics and discussions. Everything is so relatable making me feel like I CAN DO IT TOO. I absolutely recommend to find just one episode you’re interested in and you’ll be hooked. I can’t stop listening. I feel like I’m sitting at the table with them talking to my girlfriends who share the same love of our beautiful world and diversity and culture and adventure. I am such a fan of their positive, empowering outlook while they are educating their listeners on such important, valuable subjects.

Combo of fun and then moving profoundness

This podcast has a range of episodes. Some seem silly and entitled but even those are done with a certain humor and a strong amount of companionship. And then there are those like the book reviews and the one I just listen to with Sara Nelson which moved me to tears multiple times and left me changed. I will say that I also had found the use of “like” at times distracting enough to turn off. But I think they’ve been working on it because I think it’s better

Hope during Covid-19 times !!!

Talking about travel plans during this complex times is quite depressing for some people, but listening to so many fun things surrounding traveling makes the pandemic bearable. Everything from airport habits to awesome book recommendations made me enjoy every episode and remember traveling is much more than just moving from one place to another. Every episode reminded me of conversations with my friends.

Like, I Like It

Enjoy most episodes and find a few tips that relate to how I travel. I would appreciate less unconscious use of the word “like”. Every host overuses it, sometimes 3 or 4 times PER SENTENCE. Once I’m aware of it, it’s all I hear. So, like, distracting, like.

Great podcast for those looking to learn more about the insights of traveling from experts

I have had many hours of fun and relaxation listening to the many topics that this travel podcast has made episodes about. As a travel lover, it constantly gets me inspired to keep exploring.

Interesting...

...but what about older (think retired) women who travel solo? I think you’re missing a large part of the community of travelers. But on the whole...even though you are not of my generation...I find your blog interesting and inspiring to travel more. I was not able to travel until I retired. I was 65 before I got my first passport and took a long distance international flight but by then I was a widow and traveling for myself instead of with my husband. Think about interviewing older travelers. There are a lot of us out there.

Just okay

I used to love this podcast. Now I feel as if it has lost its energy and feels very “corporate” and scripted. Being up against so many podcasts from people that do this for fun and genuine authenticity makes this podcast feel very robotic. I don’t feel as if Meredith and Lale have that much chemistry. I’d almost rather hear them have a real conversation than to force these scripted, dry shows.

Podcast feedback

I’ve listened to a couple of your podcasts and I’ve now unsubscribed. No real advice is offered and your podcast is just interviews. So many of us now travel and have our own experiences and opinions. Interviews aren’t that helpful. Identifying women’s travel issues and solutions would be helpful indeed.

Getting worse

Started off strong but it had turned into a podcast whose main focus is promoting people who may not necessarily be your average traveling woman. Each newest podcast has left me disappointed...

Love the idea hate the execution

I love to travel and am a woman so this should be a great fit. Unfortunately, the presenters are just too...smug and rather than warm and comfortable they come off sounding like the Mean Girls of travel. Still searching for the right travel podcast...

Stop giving platforms to racists and cheats

Maria Sharipova is a racist (check out what she wrote about Serena Williams in that trash book of hers), a cheater (google the doping scandal), and a drug addict (again...refer to the dopung scandal). Disgusting. Gross. Shame on you. If there were a way to rate you at less than a star, I would. Couldn’t unsubscribe fast enough. Encouraging all those I encouraged to subscribe to do the same. Do better. 🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮

Road trip

Pretty disappointed- I lost interest after you talked about Lamborghinis and Land Rovers. I already know I should check my oil. I hoped for more. Honestly, as a middle class person, someone who acknowledges I have more than many fellow Americans, when you started talking about choosing an appropriate vehicle based on the trip, you lost me. Most people are lucky to have one car. I didn’t realize how elitist this podcast is. But I guess the magazine that sponsors you is, so I should’ve known better...

Love the ladies

I work in the travel industry and I honestly find this podcast so fascinating and helpful! Both when it comes to both my job and planning and learning about travel for my personal life. It’s opened up an entire world of knowledge to me. Lale and Meredith seem like two girlfriends you want to have lunch with, go on a trip with or just binge watch a show with. I love them so so so much!

Super helpful travel tips & insights

Recently just found this podcast and love it! Already booked a trip using some of the tips/tricks I learned from listening to this. I found the FAQ episodes and the episode re: miles/points especially helpful. To the hosts: thank you for the episode re: taking your time off. It’s really inspired me to ditch my American mindset around PTO and I am adamant that I will use every day of my PTO in 2019! Btw- have you heard of Yoga & Adventures Worldwide? I attended my second yoga retreat with them in March and they are worthy of a shoutout! Best curated retreats (mine were Tulum and Morocco). Highly recommend. #notanAd

Love this but

Really, I find myself listening to Meredith ending so many of her sentences in a question. Like she’s silently asking “KWIM?” toooooo much. Annoying! Or, to Meredith, annoying?! Other than that irritation, the content is great, informative and funny.

Keeps getting better!

I am a huge fan of travel podcasts and listen to them religiously. I listen to travel podcasts to be inspired and to gather useful information to apply to my own travels. I started subscribing to Women Who Travel during the first season. To be honest, when I first listened, I sometimes felt left out. I felt like the podcast was geared towards Millennials specifically, and that this was just an intimate conversation between close friends with inside references that I am not a part of. I stuck with it and kept listening. I am glad I did because I am finding the show is getting better, more focused and more inclusive. I urge you to continue to have amazing guests that bring experienced travel perspectives. Remember to include women of all ages and stages of life. Please continue to feature solo travel, unique experiences, up and coming travel destinations, off the beaten path adventures, themed travel, and good resources. Please continue to host meet ups with listeners. Perhaps consider regional groups that meet more frequently. Thank you for the work you do Lale and Meredith. It is appreciated. I also want to add that Lale Arikoglu is pretty wonderful! Lale introduced me to Love Island, and she responded to my travel questions on DM. I find that very endearing, and I am impressed that she responded to a listener. I do feel a loyalty to Lale’s work, as well as to Conde Nast in general. I trust the information and recommendations being brought forward. Please keep up the good work!

My New Favorite Podcast!

I am absolutely in love with this podcast. I feel like I’m having a casual conversation with girlfriends over coffee or cocktails about the best travel tips, issues, or ideas. The hosts are excellent interviewers but I also just love hearing them converse as well. Definitely have inspired me to be proactive on my travel plans!

Mixed reviews

I love the idea behind this podcast, but each time I listen, I am left disappointed, not so much by the content, but by the presentation itself. At some points, the information is interesting, at other times I feel like I was eavesdropping on a phone conversation amongst women with which I have nothing in common. I am also curious as to how the podcasters are selected (Know the right person? Let’s put you on air!?) I have met women travelers all over the world in my travels, and in listening, not one of these women were as knowledgeable or as well traveled as the women I have encountered. (For example, “Best Books...” episode. I wanted to know about THE SETTING FOR THE READER/REVIEWER. If the idea behind the podcast is women who travel, make it about the women and their traveling experiences, as much about the content. i.e. “i was on a 17 hr plane journey...” the listener wants to know TO WHERE?) PS would love to do a podcast on women who travel the world with their young families.

Inspires many traveling ideas!

I’m enjoying listening to my first few episodes of this podcast! I especially related to the Living Abroad one because I recently lived for a year in Madrid with my 3 teens. So many enriching and impactful experiences - wherever you go. The conversations inspire a lot more adventures in my mind! I can hear why some other listeners’ comments relate to the age and perspective of the hosts-makes sense as that’s their life stage. Please keep up the inspiration and easy way you connect with each other! Thanks for creating this podcast!

This podcast gives me so much travel envy and given me a lot of ideas about where to go next. They also have a lot of conversations about the challenges of being a woman who travels. Such a needed podcast!

Knowledgeable and supportive

I was a long time listener to Travelogue podcast until they did their final show recently. I, of course, started listening to Women Who Travel when it debuted. Unlike Travelogue (thought I really liked it) Women Who Travel is more relatable and down to earth. I liked that the same women who had been on the original were now consistent on Women Who Travel, plus many new voices! Meredith is around my age so I feel I can relate on so many levels. Hearing from so many women around the world doing amazing things is definitely the highlight. Love the podcast and keep giving us great episodes!

Huge disappointment

I was excited for this podcast but it has been a huge letdown. It’s boring, uninspiring, and it’s a bunch of table talk that doesn’t have structure or purpose. If you want a good podcast for women go listen to the budget-minded traveler podcast. Hers is structured, has interview with awesome guests, and actually gives you tips.

Episodes are mostly filled with vocal fry and complaints

The episodes sound good but their discussion within are typically superficial. Mostly complaints about airline/airport experiences or other travelers are dished out. Too many “hosts” on the show. Opinions seem rather pretentious, looking down on travelers who have different habits than theirs. I thought this show would be more storytelling of interesting places they’d travel to and women empowerment/encouraging women to travel, but that isn’t the case. Oh well.

Has potential but...

I really wanted to like this podcast but I could not get past the up talking, vocal fry, and the use of the word “like” repeatedly. There were glimpses of useful information in the two episodes I listened to (Away & taking a road trip) but the topics stayed superficial.

Love this show! So interesting and fun to listen to the stories. For people who love to travel, it will bring back many memories. For people who only dream of traveling, it will help ignite those flames to fly away on an adventure.

Not Bad...

I enjoy CN Traveler podcast and they promoted the hell out of this. For the most part I enjoyed this more than I thought. My fear was that the worst qualities of the former podcast would spread to this one too: young millenials who can't stop uptalking their statements and identity politics. Fortunately, this is just a bunch of gals yakking. I love travel so I can get through it. The uptalking tone tends to make a lot of their statements sound like they don't quite believe what they are saying and also the have a very apologetic way of speaking. A lot of "i'm probably screwing this up", "I'm sorry for saying this..." and other non-confidant statements. I don't quite understand why there needs to be a "women's only" version of this but I suppose in today's "down with men", third wave feminist era it is to be expected. (BTW Amelia Erhart got lost and presumably perished. Probably not the best choice for album art).

Binge-worthy, uplifting, aspirational

I am convinced I’m friends with these women! They are so funny, accessible and genuinely interesting women who have interests that will broaden your life view. I have a road trip planned to Wilmington after their road trip episode, their beach read recs ready in my bag and loved their advice on planning your first trip to Europe. Keep it up ladies!

Love this podcast!! Updated review

I just updated my review to 5 stars from 2 stars. While it took me a little while to get into the first few episodes as I felt the pace/ questions were a bit slow/ uninspired, I think Lale and Meredith really have the hang of it now and it's a phenomenal podcast! So intelligent, interesting, and political in the best way. Great work and I can't wait for more episodes!

Overpromise and doesn’t deliver

I love the Traveller podcast so was happy to see another Traveller team podcast but it seems this one always turns into the girls just talking about their own travel stories with no real useful information. The title may promise something useful and great and they never get to that useful, relevant info. I get tired of the ‘like and like and like’ and girl giggling.

Having started my traveling back in the late 70s, transitioning through solo travel, travel with partner, travel with my kids and now solo again, I can really relate to what I’ve heard so far. Keep up the excellent conversations.

Broaden horizons

This podcast is still new and very much still finding its feet, but has potential. It can be a bit difficult to track who is speaking at any given point with so many people involved with each episode. I look forward to better engineering so that all voices are audibly balanced. The conversational style is like sitting down for a drink with new friends. I’m a casual traveler and these ladies are clearly pros!!!

Didn’t Catch My Attention

I’m sorry but i couldn’t get into this podcast. It’s slow; there’s no excitement or emotions coming through, even with the guests. I was really looking forward to female empowerment and learning new tips, but just couldn’t get past 20 mins with being bored or trying to skip ahead.

Love it!

This podcast is still very new, but I loved the first two episodes! The hosts and guests are well-traveled, well-spoken, and just my kind of people. I like that discussions are centered around specific themes but that the conversation still feels broad and natural. It is sometimes hard to track which person is talking, but that does not particularly take away from the show for me. I was not familiar with the Facebook group from which this was born but am eager to hear more episodes and join the discussion!
