   What Filled Our Hearts with Ireland: Travel Classics Editors 2023

   For more than three decades, Travel Classics Magazine Conference has brought together leading voices in travel media across the United States, Europe, and beyond. Over that time, seven of its gatherings have been held in Ireland, each bringing editors and storytellers into close conversation with place and one another.I have attended two of the Ireland conferences, including the 2023 gathering, along with several others in the United States. Most recently, I returned from the 2026 Switzerland conference in Ticino, where an Ireland sponsored lunch brought me back to earlier moments in Ireland and the conversations that stayed with me.In 2023, just as I was beginning my BRAVE-ish book tour, I recorded a series of interviews with editors during the Ireland conference and asked:What fills your heart about Ireland?Since that gathering, the industry has continued to evolve. Publications have changed, roles have shifted, and many of these editors have moved on. Their voices remain capturing not only Ireland, but a shared sense of place, memory, and connection.Attending editors at Travel Classics International Conference (Ireland, 2023):Amy Alipio — National Geographic TravelJesse Ashlock — Condé Nast TravelerAnne Banas — BBC TravelAmy Cassell — Virtuoso, The MagazineNicole Council — AARPJulia Cosgrove — AFARSonia Chopra — Bon AppétitNikki Ekstein — BloombergJim Gladstone — PassportMelanie Hansche — Food & WineDerrik Lang — ShondalandCJ Lotz — Garden & GunLorrie Lynch — AARPTracey Minkin — Coastal LivingPatrick Perry — The Saturday Evening PostNina Ruggiero — Travel + LeisureGeorge Stone — National Geographic TravelSome shared their voices in this video.More from the editors: https://youtu.be/J4CnWH-IUaI (https://youtu.be/J4CnWH-IUaI) Travel Classics: https://travelclassics.com/ (https://travelclassics.com/)Watch my 24min travel special on Ireland:https://youtu.be/h1rIvYuti6U (https://youtu.be/h1rIvYuti6U)3 awards for my travel special: https://www.wesaidgotravel.com/dotcomm-award/ (https://www.wesaidgotravel.com/dotcomm-award/)More about my travels in Ireland:https://www.wesaidgotravel.com/telly-award-2025/ (https://www.wesaidgotravel.com/telly-award-2025/)

   Sailing Tahiti on The Jet Set TV: Why Windstar Cruises Delivers Small Ships, Big Experiences

   Set sail with me through French Polynesia as I share my experience aboard Windstar Cruises on The Jet Set TV with host Nikki Noya. 🌺 From the turquoise lagoons of Tahiti and Moorea to unforgettable moments in Bora Bora and Taha'a, this journey is all about small ships, big experiences. T hink: swimming straight from the ship’s Marina, snorkeling with manta rays, a private motu lunch, and the incredible Feast & Fire evening under the stars. Onboard Star Breeze, I loved the spacious suites, the welcoming crew, and the standout dining — including Basil + Bamboo, Candles Steakhouse, and menus inspired by the James Beard Foundation. It’s the kind of travel that feels personal, immersive, and effortless.✨ In this segment, Nikki and I talk about why Windstar Cruises is such a perfect match for French Polynesia — and why this style of cruising continues to be one of my favorites.
