Get inspired by the long lineage of women travelers who’ve made--or are making--their mark on the world.

Baret was the first woman known to circumnavigate the globe. But her experience wasn’t just about the travel – she was working, and her work took her to places that were totally unexpected for someone of her gender and economic class in the 18th century.  Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Helen Thayer was the first woman to travel solo to the magnetic North Pole. She walked across both the Sahara and Gobi deserts, kayaked down the Amazon, and trekked 200&#43; miles through Death Valley in her 80s. Along the way, she fought off polar bears, lived alongside wolves, escaped a rebel firing squad, survived an attack by killer bees, and managed to outlast a nasty case of food poisoning in Death Valley. And chances are, you&#39;ve never even heard of her. In this episode, host Wil Fulton is joined by the legendary explorer, who shares her stories and delivers inspiration that can apply to all aspects of life (she also tells us how to fight off a polar bear, too). Special guests include Tania Aebi and Emma Svensson.

Jessica Nabongo, first black woman to visit every country in the world

In this week's episode, we talk to travel expert and host of PBS's Places to Love Samantha Brown about her origin story and so much more. Tune in to hear her talk about her most memorable trips, how her five-year-old twins have changed the way she travels, why the industry needs a real shake-up to bring new voices on board, and why every meal doesn't have to be the best thing you've ever eaten. (And whatever you do, don't get her started on Yelp.) For full show notes: https://www.cntraveler.com/story/how-samantha-brown-got-her-start-women-who-travel-podcast

How Samantha Brown Got Her Start

Follow Captain Liz Clark on the Voyage of the Swell, a surfer’s journey in search of a life of exploration, adventure and the perfect wave. After college, instead of getting a job and starting a career, as her peers were, Liz bought a boat.  She had always loved the ocean and felt a calling to follow her dreams, and try and make her passions her life, instead of just something crammed in between all the things she was supposed to do. So she decided to do something crazy.  At age 22, with no real experience of sailing alone, she set sail from San Diego and simply headed south. No fixed plan in mind, just sailing the coast at the pace of a slow jog, searching out the best surf breaks in the world, places where no one else had ever ridden waves before. This is a story for ocean lovers, it’s a story for sailors and surfers, but it’s also a story for anyone out there dreaming of escape. For Liz following your dreams and pursuing a life built around your passions isn’t frivolous or selfish. It’s the door to discovering your life purpose.  She says: “Your passions are the compass by which your steer your life”. If you dream of a life of exploration and adventure too, this story is for you.  Highlights include:·       Surfing some of the best breaks in the world along the coast of Central America and in remote atolls in the South Pacific·       Discovering the beauty and incredible Polynesian culture of the Marquesas islands, one of the most remote archipelagos in the world·       Free diving with Hammerhead Sharks in the Cocos Islands, an under-water paradise 300 miles off the coast of Costa Rica·       Exploring the Galapagos Islands and find out what a world untouched by human hands would be likeThe book of this journey is called Swell: a Sailing Surfer’s Voyage of Awakening. it’s out now on <a href='https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&amp;ai=C5xPPGYGOYdeSIJfemQS3sKmoC8e56q5m_s66-N0L882kkswICAAQAWDJ7rOH3KPEFKABquPKzAPIAQHIA9ggqgRXT9DvyFZDLDBjP6OA7NmQgE_5oB2ugcDABAlhx6_Y1STkHRLvxAzI4ljoYWVuDokZ58jGGEaSuwfzXD92iqHIBEQSa4-GNPh5OY9l3RCiGW0JsdPEOPe1wASi3cnquQGgBlmAB9bYqQGIBwGQBwGoB6a-G6gHuZqxAqgH89EbqAfu0huoB_-csQKoB8rcG7AIAdIIBhACIISBApoJgwFodHRwczovL3d3dy5wYXRhZ29uaWEuY29tL3Byb2R1Y3Qvc3dlbGwtYS1zYWlsaW5nLXN1cmZlcnMtdm95YWdlLW9mLWF3YWtlbmluZy1ieS1jYXB0YWluLWxpei1jbGFyay1oYXJkY292ZXItYm9vay84ODk4MzMzOTI0NTguaHRtbLEJx-0lRzb35MG5CcftJUc29-TB-AkBmAsBqgwCCAG4DAHQFQGYFgH4FgGAFwGSFwgSBggBEAMYPQ&amp;ae=2&amp;ved=2ahUKEwje5ZWLi5P0AhUHQzABHX3DARQQ0Qx6BAgCEAE&amp;dct=1&amp;dblrd=1&amp;sival=AF15MECTjO8gjBC3Cfr912n-j40eyOC-qVpuRb-_JEQY5uwYGF3EpXk3rrjLgpLmPOVodxvKVKz29Q5pL2vzhaPEMAgQx3EnXEy1qRg5bghbZV7Jo7cW1AW7fz5-Z75R-IglUnOgegmO8dR8mjbU2yzi31FdGBO9SA&amp;sig=AOD64_0p4b6mYDk_4Gj3GHSsJrL7xgjNwg&amp;adurl=https://www.patagonia.com/product/swell-a-sailing-surfers-voyage-of-awakening-by-captain-liz-clark-hardcover-book/889833392458.html%3Fitem_group_id%3DPG_BK754%26utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dcpc%26utm_campaign%3DNon%2520Brand%2520-%2520Dynamic%2520Search%2520-%2520Catch%2520All%26utm_content%3Dalwayson'>Patagonia Books</a>.

Evita Robinson on Black Travel

Around the World in a Model T: The Story of Aloha Wanderwell

w It's a new year, which means more episodes of Women Who Travel are coming your way. In 2020, we're kicking things off with a new monthly series called "HoI Became...," where we'll sit down with master travelers who spend most of their lives on the road doing things those of us at our desks on a daily basis never thought possible. First up? Women Who Travel advisory board member, award-winning photojournalist, and author Lynsey Addario. We chat with her about picking up her first camera, taking less than stellar shots on her tour of South America in her early twenties, and spending her decades-long career photographing women. Delving deeper, we talk about how travel can heal the trauma of photographing war, death, and more—and how it takes years to learn to say "no" to risk.

How I Became a Photojournalist: A Chat with Lynsey Addario

While interviewing Kellee Edwards for my 39 Travel Questions series I got sidetracked about her being a pilot and the surprising reason she got her pilot’s license. Then we got talking about what it’s like traveling the world as a black female and BLM so I created a separate podcast.&nbsp;

The Surprising Reason Kellee Edwards Got Her Pilot’s License and What It’s Like Traveling as a Black Female Pilot

Behind her modest smile and windblown charm, Amelia Earhart was a rarity in the 1930s: a fiercely confident woman with a dream to fly. Her adventurous spirit went well beyond setting records as a pilot—her true goal was perhaps equality for women. This is a different Amelia, which might explain why the mystery of her disappearance remains unsolved—explorers are looking in the wrong place.
