No interviews, no conversation, just great storytelling by women travelers. \r\n\r\nEach week, escape to a different elsewhere with a new travel companion. Trek through a Thai jungle with a guide of dubious intentions. Take a road trip with your family along the Boudin Trail in Southern Louisiana. Lean out a window in Bangalore, India, and learn about the politics of desire. Fear for your life while navigating the switchbacks of Sicily. Head to Suriname, Paraguay, Guyana and French Guiana on a personal quest. Find comfort in a silent twilight ritual in Iran. Flirt with a stranger on the cliffs of Santorini. \r\n\r\nThere She Goes reminds us of the power and importance of women’s travel narratives. Proves they are nothing short of essential.\r\n\r\n\r\n*Our theme music is a selection from the song “City of Refuge” created and performed by Abigail Washburn.\r\n","_fireside":{"subtitle":"travel stories told by the women who wrote them ","pubdate":"2024-09-04T05:00:00.000-04:00","explicit":false,"owner":"Kelly & Lavinia","image":"https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-images-2024/podcasts/images/3/3884bcc5-8985-4310-a1ce-78ecde2c6d21/cover.jpg?v=3"},"items":[{"id":"116f5998-d795-494b-9d70-a42131af1e5b","title":"Episode 40: S3E7: Natalie Baszile, Boudin Trail","url":"https://thereshegoes.fireside.fm/40","content_text":"Natalie is the author of the novel, Queen Sugar, which was adapted for seven television seasons by writer/director Ava DuVernay, and co-produced by Oprah Winfrey.
