Now that I live in Europe, I love how easy it is to visit different countries. Since leaving New York City in 2020, I aim to travel at least once a month.

14.11.2024 - 23:15 / cntraveler.com
You can listen to our podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify each week. Follow this link if you're listening on Apple News.
Comedian Cat Cohen returns to the podcast with stories of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a long-awaited trip to Australia after a challenging year, and nights spent on the world’s various comedy stages. Plus, she teases her first album, and looks back on her award-winning standup show The Twist…? She's Gorgeous, which has now landed on Netflix.
Lale Arikoglu: Hi there. Welcome to Women Who Travel. I'm Lale Arikoglu and I'm chatting today with someone I've seen perform live many times on downtown New York stages. She's Cat Cohen, singer, comedian, podcaster, poet, and actor. Her stand-up show, The Twist? She's Gorgeous, won Best Newcomer Prize at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019 and was even made into a Netflix show. She's written a book of poems, and somehow during a hectic tour schedule, she's managed to record her debut album in London.
Hello, Cat.
Cat Cohen: Hello. How are you?
LA: I am well. So great to have you back on the show.
CC: I'm so happy to be here. Thanks for having me.
LA: You're in New York, right?
CC: I'm in New York City, center of the world.
LA: Big Apple, baby.
CC: Big Apple, baby. City that never sleeps. Paint the town red.
LA: Before we started recording, I was at least complaining to you that I was having a kind of annoying day.
CC: Yeah. And I said, "I, too am having an annoying day." And we've decided it's the moon.
LA: Yes. It's the moon. It's astrology. It's something in the air.
There's a moment from a song in Cat's live act, Come For Me, that weirdly actually captured how I was feeling that day, or at least how I was feeling before we started talking.
CC: (Singing).
I'm very excited. The special, it's a show I've been working on for so long. The album, I've been listening to since the summer. I just can't wait to share it with people and I'm hopefully going to throw a big holiday show party in New York in December, but I haven't figured out the plans yet. But that's the goal, to celebrate the album with a big splash in New York.
(Singing).
LA: The last time we spoke, I mean you've written for Condé Nast Traveler since then.
CC: Yes.
LA: But the last time we spoke on this podcast it was April 2020.
CC: Are you serious?
LA: It was fledgling weeks of lockdown.
CC: Oh my God.
LA: And so I-
CC: I have no memory of that.
LA: Well, I've got one to share with you right now.
CC: Oh God. What? What? No, I don't want to go back. No, don't make me.
LA: I promise we can return.
I dug up a clip from that show in the first incarnation of Women Who Travel.
CC: Yeah. I mean, my life is so, so glamorous normally. No, obviously this sucks so bad. I'm in psychic pain. I'm

My biggest regret was not exploring the world more. Now I'm 55, and my husband and I spend months in France every year.
I woke up in a panic a few years ago when I realized that at 53, I'd spent most of my adult life living in one place. Sure, I'd traveled over the years, but I hadn't lived outside the DC area since moving back here from Chicago at 26.

How Meditation Can Keep the End-of-Vacation Blues At Bay
I was sailing around Lake Como on the penultimate day of a family trip when my mind started to wander from the lakeside mansions and crisp autumn breeze to the dread of returning home. The feeling was familiar, but unlike in the past, I consciously halted these perturbed thoughts. While focused on the glimmering water ahead of me, I whispered to myself, “I am here.” I gazed up at the soaring mountains surrounding the lake and repeated it: “I am here.” I looked around the boat inconspicuously, at my smiling family, and said it again and again, until I felt calmer. Finally, a simple meditation technique I'd been working on revealed its efficacy.
