Carson Kressley on Adventure, Humor and Championing Travel Advisors
<p>On this episode of Humans of Travel, new host Chelsee Lowe talks with fashion and lifestyle pro Carson Kressley, who is well known from the Emmy-winning television series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, as well as reality competition shows Dancing With the Stars and RuPaul’s Drag Race. Kressley discusses how curiosity and a love of exploration have shaped his life and career, including how a post-college move to New York City led to a job with Ralph Lauren and how a sense of humor has helped him carve his professional path. When he took a risk and joined the original Queer Eye cast, a long television career began. All the while, travel remained a constant passion.</p> <p>Kressley also looks back on childhood road trips to horse shows and family vacations planned with the help of AAA TripTiks. Today, he hands all the travel planning responsibilities over to travel advisors, and as <a href="https://alg.www.vaxvacationaccess.com/">ALG Vacations</a>’ (ALGV) Travel Advisor Champion — a title he’s held for three consecutive years — he recommends other explorers do the same. ALGV estimates that Kressley has helped the company reach 130 million travelers in the last year, thanks to joint projects such as the “Carson Curates” and “Carson Checks In” social media series, both of which are available on ALGV’s consumer-facing website <a href="https://url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/HUZDCNkXmJcvKvrpUji5SyNxw8?domain=urldefense.com">TravelAdvisorsGetYouThere.com</a>.</p> <p>This episode is sponsored by <a href="https://www.tourismcares.org/">Tourism Cares</a>. </p> <hr> <p><strong>RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE</strong></p> <p>Follow Carson Kressley on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carsonkressley/">Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://alg.www.vaxvacationaccess.com/">ALG Vacations</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.traveladvisorsgetyouthere.com/">TravelAdvisorsGetYouThere.com</a></p> <p>Designs by Carson Kressley Via <a href="https://www.ballarddesigns.com/furniture/design/carson-kressley/">Ballard Designs</a></p> <p>Carson Judges on <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/bbq-brawl-flay-v-symon">BBQ Brawl</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.mtv.com/fan-hub/rupauls-drag-race">RuPaul’s Drag Race</a></p> <hr> <p><strong>ABOUT YOUR HOST</strong> </p> <p><a href="https://www.travelagewest.com/Chelsee-Lowe">Chelsee Lowe</a> is Senior Editor of TravelAge West, a print magazine and website for travel advisors based in the Western U.S. She’s an avid reader, writer, interviewer and traveler.
