January 27, 2021 Getting Ready for Travel in a Post-Vaccine World
Inspired by the “Women Who Travel Guide to Getting Back Out There” package, which launched earlier this month, we're spending this episode looking to the future—whether that be tackling travel anxieties bought on by the pandemic, relearning how to meet new people, or redefining our comfort zones. Joined by Traveler associate editor Megan Spurrell and travel writer Jessica Poitevien, we also swap notes on the big trips we're hoping to take when it's safe to do so.
The conversation doesn't end there, either. We want to know where you are dreaming of going on your first trip back out there. Email a voice memo to [email protected] with your name, where you're based, and what you're planning, and you might hear yourself in an upcoming episode.

January 20, 2021 Travel Host Samantha Brown on Spending Nearly a Year at Home
When we last spoke to travel host Samantha Brown in 2018, a border-shuttering, flight-grounding pandemic was nowhere on our radar. Flash forward to March 2020, and a season's worth of filming and production planning for her show, Places to Love, was canceled in a matter of weeks. For the first time in years, she's been staying put in Brooklyn, where she lives with her husband and twins. “I always knew that I love to travel, but I didn't realize that it was just so ingrained in who I was,” she tells us on this week's episode. “Whether it's in an airport, or getting a meal, or someone I talk to at a hotel who helps me get to my next destination … I just love those quick spontaneous meetings with strangers. That's what I miss the most.”
In our first episode of 2021, we're catching up with Samantha to talk about how she's spent the last year mostly at home, what it took to film a few episodes of Places to Love amid the pandemic in the fall, and what travel trends we might see when we get to the other side.

November 11, 2020 How I Became a Professional Surfer in Hawaii
Watch surfer Nique Miller tiptoe to the end of her longboard as she rides the waves off the shore of Oahu's Waikiki Beach, and you'll be instantly transported to island time. But for Nique, a professional surfer and stand-up paddleboarder, surfing is more than just a way to relax. It's given her the confidence and security in her own skin to speak up about the sport's lack of diversity, from the swimwear models to the competition lineup.
This week, we're talking to Nique about how she got involved in surfing in the first place—and what moving from Texas to Hawaii has taught her about herself, including her competitive spirit and inner strength.

November 06, 2020 How to Make Every Day Off Feel Like a Real Vacation
A special episode of the Women Who Travel podcast, presented by Lego.

There are 56 business days between now and December 31, which means you have a little less than two months to use up your remaining vacation days. Count this as your reminder to start filing those days with your manager. (We shouldn't need to remind you that you're leaving money on the table if you don't.) Not sure what to do with them? We've got a few ideas in this week's podcast, presented by Lego. This episode, we're talking with U.K.-based illustrator Nina Cosford about giving yourself permission to take days off even if you're not planning a big vacation and finding joy in the little things, like meandering walks through your own backyard. She's also got tips for picking up journaling and creating boundaries between your work life and personal life when working from home.

October 28, 2020 Blair Braverman on What it Took to Complete the Iditarod
This week, as the weather starts to turn, we thought we’d give you a reason to look forward to the cold by resharing an episode with dog musher Blair Braverman. It was recorded shortly after she completed the Iditarod, a 938-mile long distance dog sled race which took her and her team of 14 dogs from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. We hope it at least inspires you to get your sweaters out of storage.

October 21, 2020 How the ‘Green Book’ Shaped a Generation of Black Travelers
It was a different time in the summer of 2019 when Janée Woods Weber, an activist and social justice educator, joined BBC presenter Alvin Hall on a road trip tracing the legacy of the Green Book a travel guide published from 1937 to 1966 that shared safe road routes for Black travelers. But as this summer came around—dubbed the summer of road trips by many, but also filled with marches and social activism addressing police brutality and systemic racism—the duo's trip seemed all the more prescient. It's all gathered in their new podcast from Macmillan, Driving the Green Book, which follows the journeys Black travelers took to the South and the memories those who grew up in the Jim Crow Era have of the groundbreaking book. We sat down with Janée to hear about what went into planning the road trip last year, what stories from Black elders she met along the way have stuck with her, and which Black-owned businesses she can't wait to visit when we're able to travel freely again.
