Women Who Travel

Women Who Travel comes from Conde Nast Traveler, and it's exactly the kind of travel podcast you'd hope that pedigree would produce. Host Lale Arikoglu interviews women about their most memorable travel experiences -- from going off-grid in the Danish wilderness to country-hopping solo across Southeast Asia -- and the show invites listeners to share their own stories, too. It's part travel inspiration, part practical advice, part community. The episodes run weekly at about 25 to 35 minutes, which is a nice length for a commute or a lunch break. With 347 episodes in the archive, the show covers an impressive range of destinations and travel styles. What sets it apart from generic travel podcasts is the specific focus on women's perspectives: the logistics of solo female travel, the cultural encounters that hit differently when you're a woman abroad, the freedom and vulnerability that come with exploring unfamiliar places on your own terms. The show has a 4.3-star rating from over 600 reviews and has gone through some format evolution over the years. The current iteration under Lale focuses heavily on personal narrative and diverse voices, featuring women from different backgrounds sharing how travel has shaped their understanding of themselves and the world. If you're planning your next trip or just daydreaming about one, this podcast will give you both the destination ideas and the courage to book the ticket.
