Hi there, it's Lale Arakoglu. Thank you to everyone for their continued support of women who travel.

We love that you're enjoying listening to our show as much as we enjoy making it.

We're taking a short break and we'll be back next Thursday with a new episode.

In the meantime, we wanted to share content from our friends over at the phenomenal podcast, Atlas Obscira, that we think you would

enjoy. In this episode, immerse yourself in the strange story of Catalina Island's herd of

Give us a call and tell us about the places you went, the people that you have met, the things that you learned while traveling.

You can record a voice memo and email it to us at hello at atlasobscura.com or call us and leave a message at 315-992-7902. Looking forward to hearing from you.
