  • Summary

  • Welcome to There She Goes: travel stories told by the women who wrote them. There She Goes is a place to hear travel essays by women--their words and experiences, told in their own voices. No interviews, no conversation, just great storytelling by women travelers. Each 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. There She Goes reminds us of the power and importance of women’s travel narratives. Proves they are nothing short of essential. *Our theme music is a selection from the song “City of Refuge” created and performed by Abigail Washburn.
