Hey, it's Rohan. Where I live in Glasgow, Scotland, we're approaching the winter holidays and colder weather.

If snow isn't your favourite and you're dreaming of a warmer location, I want to recommend a show that can take you across the world, wherever you may be listening.

It's called Women Who Travel, from Conde Nask Traveller.

Each episode will transport you to a new place,

like the ancient ruins of Pompeii,

or the jaw-dropping peaks of Bhutan. Host Lale Arakoglu shares her 10 years of experience

as an endlessly curious global journalist and the stories of self-identifying women travellers. Like on our show, women who travel will

immerse you in sounds from across the globe. You can find women who travel wherever you

get to your podcasts. He sits against a window on a small wooden bench.

life, renowned humanitarian and Buddhist monk, Mathieu Ricard,

has had the unique privilege of sitting at the feet of the world's most esteemed spiritual leaders,

many of which he describes in his memoir, Notebooks of a wandering monk.

The mere presence of these great masters can feel overwhelming.

But as Mathia shares in the story of meeting his first teacher, it's best to not analyse or try to understand these powerful moments.

Instead, we must experience them and attune ourselves to their energy.

In this series we combine immersive first-person stories,

breathtaking music and mindfulness prompts so that we may see our lives reflected back to us

in other people's stories and that can lead to improvements in our own

inner lives.
