Tracee Ellis Ross’ earliest memories involved traveling the world with her mother, Diana Ross, but it was at the age of 22 that she discovered what solo travel could give her. This episode, Lale sits down with Tracee, who on March 8 will be honored on Women Who Travel’s annual Power List, to discuss how solo travel can be an act of radical self care, her upcoming Roku show Tracee Travels, and her flamboyant and joy-filled packing lists.
Lale Arikoglu: Hi there, I'm Lale Arikoglu and welcome to this episode of Women Who Travel. Our guest, Tracee Ellis Ross, the star of Black-ish and American Fiction, has a new series on Roku coming out later this year called Tracee Travels, and it's all about discovering the world alone. I am super excited about this episode because this month Tracee is also honored on our annual Women Who Travel Power List publishing online at CNTraveler.com. This is kind of like a little teaser and you'll find the full list when it's published on March 8th, International Women's Day. Today we begin by chatting about Tracee's early introduction to global travel with her mother, Diana Ross.
I think you've described yourself once as feeling like a child of the world.
Tracee Ellis Ross: Yes.
LA: You've traveled so much and so much with your mum, Diana. What were some of those memorable early trips that stuck with you? I mean, that must have shaped your world view so much.
TER: It really did, and I come by the travel honestly. So before it was by choice, it was by necessity staying near my mom. I went to boarding school in Switzerland, so I started, I was born in Los Angeles, raised in New York, and then moved to Paris for eighth grade, Paris and then Switzerland for boarding school and then back to the States and then Brown. And when we moved to Europe, my mother ended up marrying my stepfather who is Norwegian and lived in London and Switzerland. And so London and Switzerland and Europe in general just became a part of our lives.
The benefit for me, it was like a change in world view from just being an American to realizing that I was a child of the world and so much of that came from realizing how much the same human beings are, no matter where you go. And also that what I loved so much was discovering the ways that we are different. It's just been something that I've loved about travel.
LA: Do you remember that shift of thinking? Was there a point, was it in eighth grade? Was it when you were in London that you suddenly were like, "I'm an American, but I'm starting to see things differently?"
TER: It all came through fashion.
LA: Okay, love that.
TER: It was the

I was a Diamond Medallion member for years but fell to Platinum Medallion when Delta Air Lines introduced higher qualifying requirements for elite status. Even so, most of my domestic flights are still on the airline, thanks to its extensive network from my home in New York City. And Delta has always made it right whenever I've faced an operational meltdown or other issues.
From Egyptian jewellery to 15th century armour to medieval illuminated manuscripts, old masters and exceptional contemporary design - Tefaf, Europe's principal fine arts fair, really has something for everyone.
It’s no secret that the Lower East Side is one of New York City's most vibrant neighborhoods. For decades, residents and tourists alike have flocked to it to explore its rich history, thriving restaurant scene, and cool independently-owned shops. Over the past decade, another reason to make the trip down to the LES, as us locals call it, has trickled in: a thriving wine scene. It’s become a hub of the natural wine movement not dissimilar to Paris’s 11th Arrondissement. These casual quasi-bar restaurants are fun, don’t take themselves too seriously, and are as good for a quick glass of pet nat and half dozen oysters at the bar as for a coursed out meal. Unlike Paris, where the snack menu tends to stick within the realm of cheese, charcuterie, and crusty bread, in New York the food can take center stage. You’ll find some of the city’s best bites, like an ultra savory umeboshi-infused steak tartare or 7-layer dip topped with caviar and innovative banchan, in these wine bars.

The sun had begun its leisurely descent over Bodrum Town on a September afternoon when I started going back over my list, making sure I hadn’t missed anything. A stroll along the marina, pausing to take a video of a forest of Turkish flags fluttering in the wind: check. Bites of kabak cicegi dolmasi and enginar kalbi on the terrace of a restaurant overlooking gulets bobbing in the harbor below: delicious. Browsing leather shoes and handwoven towels in the labyrinthine bazaar: my credit card statement would attest to that. Satisfied, I started mapping out the route back to the hotel, working in a stop at a posh Turkish delight shop a friend in New York had recommended. I turned to my mom, ready to lead her out of the bazaar, when I noticed her hesitate.
