Hi there, I'm Lale Arakoglu, and this is Women Who Travel.

Today, as we head into Super Tuesday, we're talking to overseas reporters about their first weeks on the road covering the 2024 election.

We want to know what it's like to report on American politics from an outsider's POV,

but also how they navigate the unpredictability of travel, say, unforeseen blizzards and cancelled flights,

and find time to explore for themselves.

Every fourth American still has some roots somewhere in Germany.

So they are all so happy and so joyful.

And they all say,

Einzwe dry off Wiedersin or something like that.

And they are really willing and telling us like,

oh, yeah, my great granddad is from here and there.

The people in Switzerland view Florida as a large retirement home,

hits by hurricanes and can be dangerous at sometimes as a vacation place as the Disneyland location.

There's a really strong base knowledge that Canadians do consume so much American news

and American entertainment that, you know, if they're watching a political show, like the

daily show or something of that nature, Canadians follow along.

So I don't have to get two to into the weeds.

That was German TV's Gudron Engel, followed by Swiss-French reporter François

Vilehammer, who's based in Geneva, and CBC's Katie Simpson in Canada.

Before Before we dive into all things America and traveling to cover the 2024 election,

where are you chatting to me from today? Good run.

Well, I'm in our studio. We are the biggest and oldest foreign affairs studio that we have from German radio and TV and it's based in Washington, D.C. in the heart of Georgetown.
