Inspired by the “Women Who Travel Guide to Getting Back Out There” package, which launched earlier this month, we're spending this episode looking to the future—whether that be tackling travel anxieties bought on by the pandemic, relearning how to meet new people, or redefining our comfort zones. Joined by Traveler associate editor Megan Spurrell and travel writer Jessica Poitevien, we also swap notes on the big trips we're hoping to take when it's safe to do so.
The conversation doesn't end there, either. We want to know where you are dreaming of going on your first trip back out there. Email a voice memo to [email protected] with your name, where you're based, and what you're planning, and you might hear yourself in an upcoming episode.
