Women Who Travel Podcast: Our Favorite Stories From This Year
22.12.2024 - 11:11 / 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.
To wrap up 2024, executive producer Stephanie Kariuki joins Lale in the studio to look back at some of their favorite episodes over the past twelve months—from actor Emma Roberts on her love of train travel and Normal Gossip’s Kelsey McKinney on the perils of group travel, to three photojournalists on documenting life during war in Ukraine, Yemen, and Gaza.
Lale Arikoglu: Hi there. I'm Lale Arikoglu, and welcome to an episode of Women Who Travel, where we're looking back at the year and talking about some notable episodes. Even better, I'm chatting with our Executive Producer, Stephanie Kariuki.
Stephanie, you came on board in the spring. Before we even get into the episodes, I want to know, what sort of traveler were you before you started and what did you know about the podcast?
Stephanie Kariuki: I love traveling. I think I've been to somewhere around 20 countries. I was born outside of this country.
LA: Wait, where were you born?
SK: I was born in Nairobi, Kenya, and lived there until I was six.
LA: I didn't know that.
SK: Yes, and I go there all the time.
LA: Oh, that's so cool.
SK: Yeah, I still have family there. And I love travel, it is a way to connect. It's a way to learn not only about the people and the places that you're going to, but about yourself. And I've just, to come here and to get to work with Condé Nast Traveler is a dream in a lot of ways. So, I'm so glad I'm here.
LA: And you're on the other side of the glass today.
SK: I know, it's weird.
LA: What a thrill.
SK: Sorry. What kind of traveler were you before you worked here?
LA: Oh, great question. Well, I definitely wasn't quite as obsessive as I am now. Always pretty adventurous, always kind of what I wanted to spend my money on and any sort of disposable income I had. But working at Traveler and talking about travel as much as I do definitely makes it suddenly seem more possible, which I think is something we always want to do with this podcast. And hearing all the sorts of stories that we have on this podcast always makes me itch to do more of it.
SK: I know. My parents recently were planning a trip to Italy and I just was constantly combing through our episodes to try to be like, what other things should I recommend? And I'm really glad we're talking about recommending episodes, because that's how I find the next place or the next thing that I really want to do. You know?
LA: Staying on the topic of travel, of your own travel, I mean, you've clearly done so much. What do you want to get out of your experiences? You were born out of the US so you have connections to other places. How do you think that
