Summary
If you subscribe to this podcast, then you're familiar with our listener dispatches: unique, funny, and often deeply personal stories shared with us by the Women Who Travel community. Weaving them into the podcast is one our favorite things to do, which is why this week we're mixing up the format as Lale and the podcast's very own producer, Jude Kampfner, revisit some of their favorites—from a breakup in Paris and an intrepid solo hiking trip to a spooky encounter in Ireland.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Lalei Aricoglu, host of women who travel, a transportive podcast for anyone who's curious about the world. |
| 0:12.2 | If you're a regular listener, then you're probably familiar with our listener stories. |
| 0:16.8 | We get them from all sorts of people from all places in the world. |
| 0:35.6 | And the person responsible for gathering them, for talking to these women and choosing their stories, is our very own producer, Jude Kampner. And so it made complete sense when we were putting together an episode |
| 0:38.9 | of some of our favourite dispatches that we bring Jude along for the ride. Hi Jude. Hi Lale, we've never done |
| 0:45.2 | this before and let's wing it and I've taught improvisation in my time and we'll see how it goes. |
| 0:51.0 | Well, I'm very excited to have you on this side of the glass. Listeners, |
| 0:54.5 | usually Jude's giving me a thumbs up or some sort of mimed instruction when I'm chatting to |
| 0:59.2 | our guests. So very excited to be doing it in the reverse today. I just want to say thank you so |
| 1:05.0 | much to listeners for giving these dispatches. Sometimes they're written and then I get in touch |
| 1:09.5 | with them and we record them and I can |
| 1:12.7 | direct them a little bit. Very often people send voice memos and they're just perfect. It feels |
| 1:19.1 | like they're born storytellers and they also really know that giving a visual description |
| 1:25.4 | is exactly what we need in audio. So sometimes when you just |
| 1:30.3 | see the view that they're looking at, for instance, a listener coming up, looking down at Dubrovnik, |
| 1:37.5 | we're there. Well, that was something I was going to say is I'm always amazed at how generous |
| 1:41.8 | people are with their stories and how honest. |
| 1:49.3 | I mean, some of these people are sharing experiences with us that sometimes you'd only tell your closest friend. |
| 1:51.1 | Yeah, absolutely. |
| 1:57.7 | And they just seem to know exactly the right level to pitch it at. |
| 2:03.7 | One of our, I would say, most popular topics and most listened to episodes was one centred around solo travel. And it's no surprise then that we've had quite a few submissions about |
| 2:09.8 | solo travel experiences. From Cuba to Dubrovnik to France, it really runs the gamut. Tell us about |
