Repeat: Tracee Ellis Ross’ earliest memories involved traveling the world with her mother, Diana Ross, but it was at the age of 22 that she discovered what solo travel could give her. This episode, Lale sits down with Tracee to discuss how solo travel can be an act of radical self care, her Roku show Solo Traveling With Tracee Ellis Ross, and her flamboyant and joy-filled packing lists.

Author and wild swimmer Freya Bromley returns to tell Lale why the restorative power of nature still holds true for her, the joy and community she has found at a women’s swimming retreat in Cornwall, and her favorite—and little known—island for escaping to each summer. Plus, she extolls the virtues of puffin sightings.

Earlier this year, Lale reported a feature for Condé Nast Traveler on the Iditarod, the annual sled dog race that crosses 1,000 miles of Alaskan wilderness. She catches up with podcast regular, writer, and adventurer Blair Braverman to swap stories of traveling through Alaska. Plus, Blair shares her experiences from another dramatic landscape she had long dreamed of visiting: Antarctica.

Lale talks to frequent guest and train expert Monisha Rajesh about her recent night train journeys.
