Lale Arikoglu
Director of Special Projects
Lale Arikoglu is the Director of Special Projects at Condé Nast Traveler and host of the award-winning Women Who Travel podcast, interviewing high profile guests including Eva Longoria, Gabrielle Union, and Brooke Shields. Working across print and digital platforms, her reporting has taken her all over the world, from Patagonia to Tokyo to Kosovo to the Amazon Rainforest, and she is fascinated by the ways that travel intersects with style, food, design, pop culture, nightlife, politics, and identity. Most recently, her work has been honored with awards from the Society of American Travel Writers, the National Association of Travel Journalists, and iHeartRadio. She has participated in live events at Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, SXSW in Austin, and Feast Portland, and has regularly appeared as a guest on NPR, CBS, and Good Morning America. She is most at home in an airport departure lounge and only occasionally misses her couch. Find her on Instagram at @lalehannah.
