St. Teresa of Avila whose name in religious was Mother Teresa of Jesus started a reform of the Carmelite Order which today is known at the Discalced Carmelites (the discalced do not wear shoes). She lived in the 16th century when all nuns were cloistered (enclosed). So, no, she did not encourage her nuns to go out anywhere. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta was a nun in the twentieth century who started an order to minister to the needs of the poor - the Sisters of Charity.
