We travel for all sorts of reasons: in search of self-discovery, something new, a chance to break out of our routines. But how often is travel truly restorative? Lale talks to activist, educator, entrepreneur, and ardent solo traveler Rachel Cargle about creating calm in every step of a journey—and her new memoir and manifesto, A Renaissance of Our Own.

Lale Arikoglu: Hello, welcome to another episode of Women Who Travel. I'm Lale Arikoglu. A few years ago, a friend suggested I follow Rachel Cargle on Instagram, and I was immediately captivated by the discourse she was starting about self-care and our obligation to bring accountability to our own feminism.
I also noticed that she loves to travel. An activist, philanthropist, educator, and entrepreneur, her new memoir and manifesto, A Renaissance of Our Own, is about redesigning your life and being true to your values. It has a persuasive section on the huge benefits of recharging.

I took a long nap during the day. I ordered in room service, and I was thinking about how wonderful it was to just experience a thunderstorm from the comfort of this big, fluffy bed answering my emails and watching Bravo on TV. [laughs]
LA: My God, that sounds like bliss. [laughs]
RC: [laughs] Yes. And, I felt like that was rest in the same way that maybe the day before rest for me was, um, clearing my calendar and walking from museum to museum to museum until I was physically exhausted and came home and took a bath. I'm getting better at knowing what I need. I'm getting better at not like spending excessively because I forgot things. I'm getting better at, um, learning how to like wind down from travel once I get home. Um, and it takes, you know, a lot of being
