0:00.0	Hi there, I'm Lale Arakoglu, and welcome to an episode of Women Who Travel,
0:10.0	where we're looking back at the year and talking about some notable episodes.
0:14.4	Even better, I'm chatting with our executive producer, Stephanie K Karauki.
0:26.3	Stephanie, you came on board in the spring.
0:28.7	Before we even get into the episodes,
0:31.7	I want to know, like, what sort of traveler were you before you started and what did you know about the podcast?
0:33.4	I love traveling.
0:34.8	I think I've been to somewhere around 20 countries. I was born outside of this country. Like, where were you born? I was born in Nairobi, Kenya and lived there until I was six.

1:38.0	all sorts of stories that we have on this podcast always makes me itch to do more about it.
1:42.0	I know. My parents recently were planning a trip to Italy,
1:45.7	and I just was like constantly combing through our episodes to try to be like, what other things
1:52.5	should I recommend? And I'm really glad we're talking about recommending episodes, because that's how
1:57.6	I find, like, the next place or the next thing that I really want to do, you know.
2:02.0	Staying on the topic of travel, of your own travel, I mean, you've clearly done so much.
