India with Condé Nast Traveler's Divia Thani

Author: Condé Nast Traveler November 7, 2024 Duration: 46:34
In this episode of Travel That Matters, Bruce speaks with Divia, the Global Editorial Director of Condé Nast Traveler, about her home country of India, inclusive of the bustling scene in Goa, the best time of year to visit, where to find the best jewelry, and the thrills of a tiger safari (and how it’s different than the safari experience in African countries). Divia gives useful tips like how to see India without falling into a tourist trap, if you should see the Taj Mahal or skip it, where to go if you have particular hobbies such as hiking or skiing, and how to find authentic food in India. Divia also tells us about her favorite Indian dish, mentions a few specific restaurants in India that you'll want to try, and talks about Indian cuisine in London, where she lives today. Listen to Travel That Matters wherever you get your podcasts. 

There’s a whole world of travel stories that often go unheard, and Women Who Travel | Condé Nast Traveler brings them to the forefront. Guided by editor Lale Arikoglu, this podcast moves beyond typical guides and itineraries to explore the personal, sometimes complicated, realities of navigating the globe. You’ll hear conversations with a wide range of female-identifying travelers, each episode uncovering specific, vivid tales-whether that’s the quiet challenge of going off-grid in Denmark or the profound independence found in solo journeys across multiple countries.

It’s about the connections made, the unexpected hurdles overcome, and the unique perspectives women carry with them. By focusing on these narratives, the series naturally expands what travel means, making it an essential listen for anyone curious about the deeper layers of culture, place, and personal discovery. Tune in for a fresh, grounded take on adventure.
