Podcasts about female travel

This is a test episode that I hope you will enjoy as it is unedited and on the go. Tell me you heard it and what you think. If you don't like it, I will remove it and go back to the regular format. I hope you enjoy the test. I'm here for helping you travel. That's my goal. I want to bring world peace one step closer to reality through female travel. This episode is not scripted. There is no intro dialog. You can hear the story about my final destination in Iceland on my 90 day trip around the world. This is not the usual pattern, so let me know what you think about the message. This is a peek behind the scenes to how I took the wrong bus to the airport in Iceland. How I got on another bus, again wrong, and then in the rain, made it to the airport before anyone else on my flight. It was a small airport.  Please comment if you like this type of content. I have recorded other segments like it, showing authentic colors and stories from the recent travels of a solo woman in her prime. If this is your first time listening, please let me know. You can DM me today on IG or FB. This is a Step 5 adventure. Don't try this step without mastering the other four levels.  

On this episode, we are joined by Susan Heinrich from Midlife Globetrotter. Susan is a Canadian writer living in Denver, Colorado. She is passionate about travel and supporting women in tourism. In 2020, she created Midlife Globetrotter, a website and platform that helps women over 40 follow their travel dreams to new places, with destination guides, practical tips and stories of her own adventures. Susan is passionate about reframing midlife as an opportunity, and explores themes of reinvention and self-discovery in her work.  You can follow Susan on Instagramand Pinterest. In this episode, we talk about group tours and group tour operators, especially those that offer group trips just for women. To learn more, see Susan's blog posts about: Women's tours around the world: https://midlifeglobetrotter.com/womens-tours/ How to select a small group tour: https://midlifeglobetrotter.com/how-to-select-a-small-group-tour/ Croatia group tour with Adventure Women: https://midlifeglobetrotter.com/a-womens-sailing-trip-in-croatia/ Episode Highlights Some things to think about when choosing a group tour include: What is the pacing of the trip -- is there any free time, how often do you switch hotels? What is the group size? Small group tends to be under 14 people. Small groups have advantages in terms of the type of accommodation and the size of the tour group when exploring cities What is the activity level? Some companies like Adventure Women and Adventures in Good Company specialize in active trips and offer detailed explanations of the activity level involved in the trip If you are traveling solo, you can also look for tours that are only solo travelers When you are evaluating a group tour, be sure to read the itinerary in detail. You can also call the tour operator and see if they can give you any information on how many solo travelers there might be versus those traveling with a friend or relative. Also look at what the single supplement is. Some companies like Girls Guide to the World have private rooms by default but typically group tours are priced based on double occupancy and if you want your own room they charge a single supplement. Some companies will pair you with another solo travel as a roommate if they don't charge a single supplement. Be sure to read through the documents to understand what is included in terms of transfers and meals Understand who is guiding the trip -- is it a local or a U.S.-based guide Make sure you understand the cancellation policy and buy travel insurance If you aren't sure if a group trip is for you, opt for a private room, start with a shorter trip, feel free to opt out of activities, and maybe start with a trip in the U.S. that doesn't require a more expensive airfare. If you just want to relax or if you don't like having scheduled activities, then a group tour may not be a good fit Good tour operators for budget travelers include G Adventures (now have tours for women and certain age groups) and Intrepid Travel (who have women expeditions to places where you can meet and interact with locals in a way that you couldn't if there were men on the trip) For a luxury trip, Girls Guide to the World is a good fit and Insight Vacations is upscale and have women-only trips For nature and wildlife, Natural Habitat Adventures partner with the World Wildlife Federation and are known for wildlife trips and have women's only expeditions Adventure Women is one of the first companies to get into women only tours and typically offer four-star accommodations with active adventures Backroads is known for cycling and hiking tours and offers some just for women and they have trips that accommodate a variety of activity levels each day There are also group tour operators focused on certain destinations like Viking Women in Iceland Another themed tour is the British Book Club Tour: https://thebookclubtour.com Susan is also co-hosting an art-history based trip to Paris this spring Some women-only focused travel companies and others that have women-only trips Next Chapter Travel - small group, curated trips in Europe Next Tribe - over 45 women Gals Abroad Getaways - luxury Untethered Expeditions - adventure Adventure Women - small group adventure Adventures in Good Company - active  Girls' Guide to the World - authentic, responsible (luxury) Sisterhood Travels - over 50 Country Walkers - walking/hiking Scout Escapes - mother daughter travel and group trips for women over 40 Viking Women - Iceland Explorer Chick - hiking and adventure in National Parks and abroad Insight Vacations - upscale group trips some women only Backroads - women only hiking and cycling Road Scholar - educational, some women only, over 50 Uniworld - women's cruises

In November, Kim and Tamara took a trip to Turkey for a travel writer's conference. After their time in Istanbul, they jetted off to different parts of the country to see more of Turkiye. This week, Kim shares her experience in Cappadocia and offers up tips for anyone that wants to experience this magical world of fairy chimneys and sunrise hot air balloon rides. Episode Highlights Plan to stay in Cappadocia at least four days It pairs well with three to four days in Istanbul (it is about a 2 hour flight from Istanbul) Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR) is the main airport for the region Cappadocia is not a town but region that is made up of multiple towns Going up in a hot air balloon is a bucket list experience for many but sometimes flights are cancelled because of various weather conditions so you want to leave some extra time in case you need to reschedule Göreme is the main town and definitely a tourist town If you want something quieter, you can stay in Uçhisar Kim stayed in Ürgüp at the Avant Garde Cave Hotel The Pigeon Valley Hike goes from Uchisar through the National Park to Goreme (about 3 miles) The Valley is where all the balloons fly above Göreme also has beautiful sunsets Goreme National Park is where you will find all the fairy chimneys or hoodoos You can book a balloon ride through your hotel or online, there are many tour operators that offer balloon rides Departure time depends on the time of year, but it is usually fairly early morning The balloons are big with large baskets that hold at least 20 people, with 4-5 people in each section Make sure you have a lanyard or strap for your phone or camera The pilots take photos and then sell you the photo package if you want at the end of the ride At the end there is a light breakfast and champagne but no tables or chairs They pick you up and drop you off at your hotel Use AllTrails to find and download nearby hiking trails The Goreme Open Air Museum gives you access to some of the ancient churches You can have a hammam experience for a traditional Turkish bath Pack layers and shoes or hiking boots with a good grip Stay tuned for our next episode about some of our favorite Spring Break destinations!

Kim and Tamara recently visited Istanbul, Türkiye for the first time to attend the SATW (Society of American Travel Writers) Annual Conference. In this episode, they share their insights and tips for others planning a trip to Istanbul including where to stay, top sights to visit, safety, and other travel tips. Show Highlights: Turkish Airlines has a lot of direct flights from the USA (including Boston and Seattle) Turkish Airlines business class varies depending on what plane you are on and you need to be strategic about choosing your seat It takes about an hour to get from the airport to the city center and there is a lot of traffic in Istanbul. Tamara used Welcome Pickups and Kim used Sun Transfers for private transfers, which were both affordable and possibly cheaper than taxis. It is best to stay in the Sultanahmet neighborhood for first time visitors near the main attraction, Kim also stayed in the Galata Tower area but it is very hilly and hard to access for cabs. Tamara stayed at the Hagia Sofia Mansions Hotel (a Curio Collection by Hilton Hotel) and Kim stayed at the White House boutique hotel. They also stayed at the Conrad Hilton during the convention but wouldn't recommend that area unless you are about to get on or off a cruise. You can ask Google Maps for an accessible route to avoid hills. Kim and Tamara really enjoyed taking a small group tour of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. You can do it on your own but the guide takes care of getting the tickets and plan it so you don't need to figure out what time the mosques are open for visitors. You need to cover your hair when you enter a mosque and take off your shoes so it is helpful to wear slip off shoes and socks. In the Hagia Sofia, visitors can only go to the second level and look down at the main prayer area. You can also see the gold mosaics and Christian imagery from when it was a church. The Basilica Cistern is also nearby and it is very popular with very long lines. We would recommend that you buy skip the line tickets online in advance. Tamara took a guided tour but it was hard to stay together in the crowd and you need to use a listening device to hear the guide. The Sulimaniye Mosque, near the Spice Market, is also well worth a visit for its gorgeous architecture. It is equal or even better than the Blue Mosque. The Rustem Pasha Mosque is also beautiful, but smaller. The Spice Market, also known at the Egyptian Market, has tons of shops selling tea and spices. Just beware that they sell via the kilo and that is a huge amount so you need to request a much smaller amount unless you want to spend an arm and a leg. The sales guys are very good at upselling and aggressive about engaging you to get you into the shop. They also offer free samples. See Tamara's tips on visiting to Istanbul as a solo female traveler: https://yourtimetofly.com/istanbul-solo-female-travel/ The Grand Bazaar is largely gold jewelry and knock off designer goods with just a few more authentic shops with Turkish linens or carpets. Make sure you try simit in the morning, baklava, Turkish Delight, and Turkish coffee and tea. There are some shops or tours that include someone who "reads" your tea leaves or coffee grounds. Turkish cuisine is very beef and lamb centric. A braised beef and eggplant is a popular dish. Let the restaurant bring different types of mezze, as many of these are delicious and things you might not have tried if you picked yourself. Gozleme is a flatbread topped with cheese or cheese and spinach. Credit cards are widely used but you should bring cash (or get cash from an ATM) for taxis and you will be able to spend less if you pay in cash when you go shopping. Be prepared to tip. Make sure the taxi starts the meter and know ahead of time about how much it should cost. And if you use Uber, don't let them tell you that they don't pay via the app. The tram is an easy way to get around and there is a kiosk to purchase tickets with an English option.

Travel best Special Episode on Sustainable Travel This is Dr. Travelbest   Think in years… If you think you'll live to be 120, you will take better care of the planet. You will take better care of your friendships and your health, too.   Even if you don't live to 120, what's the harm? I care about being energy aware when I fly and conserving resources. Flying Atlanta to Seattle to San Diego was a waste of many resources, but that was the routing on Alaska Airlines. They have since changed it, but I flew this route several times.   Dr Travelbest's Episode #103 was on Climate Change and travel, and now, at episode #250, it's time to revisit this. World peace is the goal, and getting there sustainably will help us all.   What can solo travelers and all travelers do to help improve the planet?   Here are 9 ways to minimize your environmental impact   Be responsible for your actions and considerate of others. Use reusable water containers and fill them up after you empty them. Avoid single-use plastics, such as straws and plastic bags. Hydrate, but don't use more plastic than you need to. Carry less stuff.  Take only memories; leave only footprints. Plant trees or participate in reforestation efforts to combat deforestation and promote biodiversity. Ride a bike instead of driving if you can, or walk. Use public transportation when you can. Drive a hybrid or, even better, an electric vehicle. Re-use your towels in a hotel if they are not dirty. Support companies that prioritize sustainability and eco-friendly practices.   My biggest mistakes in climate change:   Mistake 1: I drove solo for 5000 miles in the summer of 2020 during Covid. That's a lot of fuel for one person. This summer, I planned to drive solo around Iceland, but I canceled my rental car, partially to help conserve energy, and took public transportation and bus tours instead. Try to waste less gas when you can.   Mistake 2: Years ago, I wasted water while running the shower all night long to get the wrinkles out of a dress I had to wear the next day for a job interview. I thought the mist would remove the wrinkles, but it didn't, and I wasted a lot of water. I should have had a steamer instead.   Airlines and climate change: When you fly, try to bring the minimum of items to save on weight and overall energy. Consider carbon emissions from air travel and how they can be reduced or offset.   You may argue that bringing a reusable water bottle may not significantly impact the overall issue of climate change. You may be correct, but what if you're not? What if you do that every day for 10 years? Does it make a difference? 5Stepstosolotravel.com   Drmarytravelbest.com Dr. Mary Travelbest Twitter Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram email: info@drmarytravelbest.com Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube  

Siem Reap, Cambodia     I've returned from a 90-day trip around the globe to every time zone on the planet. My mission is world peace through cultural exchange.   In this episode, the FAQ is: How can I stay hydrated when it's humid and hot? . Today's Destination is Siem Reap, Cambodia Today's Mistake- Taking the long way instead of a more direct flight. Travel Advice: Practice Google Maps on foot before you leave on your trip   FAQ: How can I stay hydrated?   From my personal experience, I needed help with this in Southeast Asia. The climate was so different from Southern California, where I live. I had to adjust my body to these climate conditions. I had to be very aware of my intake of liquids and not drink much if any, caffeine. I am not a medical doctor, but here's what I learned. Rest during the day. Swim if you can. Keep your body cool and do it early in the morning if you must go out. I had to respect my kidneys as they filtered all of this water. I had to monitor the color of my urine to try to keep it clear in color.   Today's destination: Siem Reap, Cambodia   Siem Reap, a resort town in northwestern Cambodia, is the gateway to the ruins of Angkor, the seat of the Khmer kingdom from the 9th–15th centuries. Angkor's vast complex of intricate stone buildings includes preserved Angkor Wat, the main temple pictured on Cambodia's flag. Giant, mysterious faces are carved into the Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom.   The capital is Phnom Penh. Listen for the earlier episode on that city.   I arrived by bus and immediately rode to the Backpacker's Chill Hostel. My tuk-tuk driver was named Nuk, and he was reliable. He brought me to all of the places I needed to see. Ask for him if you go there because he could use the business. What are some of the things that I did? The first was the temple, Angkor Wat. I went at sunrise, meaning I had to get the ticket first. So, he knew where to get the ticket and how to navigate the complicated process, making it easy. Then we drove to the temples, which will take a full day. It's so hot, you should go early. It was raining, but still very humid. Bring an umbrella for the sun. Limit your outdoor activities besides swimming.   Angkor Wat reminded me of Disney in some ways, but this was REAL. It was from 1000 years ago. The temple is huge and not crowded like Disneyland. https://pharecircus.org/       Cambodian Food: 10 Traditional Dishes You Should Taste, even if you are not a foodie…. ●               Amok (Coconut fish curry) ... ●               Kuy teav (Noodle soup) ... ●               Nom Banh Chok (Khmer noodles) ... ●               Samlar machu (Sour soup) ... ●               Kampot Pepper Crab. ... ●               Lap Khmer (Beef salad) ... ●               Pleah sach ko (Beef ceviche) ... ●               Samlar kari (Chicken curry)   Today's Mistake- Taking the long way instead of a more direct flight.     Today's Travel Advice-Practice Google Maps on foot before you leave on your trip     I want to bring meaning to your travels.

In this episode, Emily and Rachel continue to read back over and reminisce on their time spent in the geothermal hot spot of Rotorua, New Zealand. We hear of a bonding trip to a local spa, a narrow escape from an incredibly inappropriate situation with the Pennsylvania State University Glee Club, and many, MANY unnecessary details about the value for money of Rotorua's supermarkets. 

In this episode, Emily and Rachel read back over their blog documenting the first day they spent in the geothermal New Zealand town of Rotorua. Among many other stunningly banal details, we hear of their time learning about Maori culture, luging at break-neck speed down forested hills, and, more exciting than all combined, the chance meeting of an entire Glee Club during a traditional Maori feast...

In the fourth episode of series 4, Emily and Rachel reread the blog entry from their, in all honesty, fairly uneventful visit to New Zealand's Mercury Bay, viewing its highlights through unceasing drizzle.As well as this, we hear of wet weather wanderings,  the world's most poppin' hostel bar, and a detailed review of the local children's play park.Follow the podcast on Instagram at @gapyeardiariespodcast.

In the third episode of series 4, Emily and Rachel continue reliving their time travelling around New Zealand's beautiful north coast, by rereading the blog diary from their second day in Paihia. Among other things, we hear of a marginally successful dolphin-watching boat trip, hours of wandering around various idyllic islands and an unfortunate hostel argument about bread. It's definitely as thrilling as it sounds. Follow the podcast on Instagram at @gapyeardiariespodcast.

In the second episode of series 4, Emily and Rachel continue to recount stories of their time travelling through New Zealand, as they begin the odyssey travelling north from the bustling city of Auckland to the country's beautiful north coast. We hear of the pair's first experience of the Kiwi bus, their failure to make new friends due to being largely unconscious, a gloriously scenic walk around Pahia Bay of Islands and a high unsuccessful attempt at having a wild night out at the hostel.Follow the podcast on Instagram at @gapyeardiariespodcast.

But then, when you take a global pandemic, the uncertainty of the economy, and on top of that losing your job… I can't imagine the stress, panic, and fear that so many people have experienced around the world over the couple of years. I feel super grateful that my friend Kait has agreed to open up about her experience of being laid off during COVID. Kait is an HR professional, specializing in employee experiences, culture and belonging, particularly on a global level. She's also an avid hiker, coffee lover, entrepreneur, and a van enthusiast all rolled up into one, which we'll explore during the episode. I hope this episode is helpful who might find themselves in an unfortunate circumstance of being laid off. Kait shares key pieces of advice and what you should do if you were ever to find yourself in this situation.

In this special episode, Rachel and Emily look back fondly over the (incredibly short) series documenting their time in Chile, and ask each other all those burnin' questions they've harboured for 12 long years about their time travelling through the country. Among other useless things, we learn of what the pair would have done differently if they had their time in Chile again, whether or not Barney the Dinosaur is in fact a serious suspect in the theft of Emily's iPod, and whether Rachel will ever regret wearing hiking socks and pink ballet pumps to a chic beachside nightclub...

In this week's episode, Rachel and Emily read back over the last, incredibly dull blog post from their time spent in Chile, this time 'exploring' the country's capital city, Santiago. Amongst other ludicrous content, we hear of an incredibly detailed account of a meal enjoyed in an empty Chinese restaurant, a very special goldfish, and yet another 'rambunctiously disgusting' bus toilet. Strap in everyone. 

In this episode, Rachel and Emily continue rereading blog entries from  their time travelling south through Chile. This week, we hear of an epic 18-hour bus journey, complete with ‘barnstormingly disgusting' on-board toilet, curious clubbing attire and the night the pair spent stargazing at the La Serena observatory that very nearly didn't happen due to Rachel going missing… 

In this episode, Rachel and Emily continue rereading blog entries from their time in Chile, this time reminiscing on the two days they spent in the bohemian surfer's city of Iquique. Among other mishaps, we hear of the theft of Emily's precious iPod, a crime for which Barney the Dinosaur is a serious suspect, the bizarre quirks of the pair's hostel room, and what passes for on board entertainment on South American intercity coach services.
