Steve Smotrys, managing director and senior vice president, commercial for the Americas at HX Expeditions, has decades of experience in the cruise industry — but his first taste of travel came in the form of roadtrips up the California coast. And his first time on a cruise ship? During his senior prom, onboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. In this episode of Humans of Travel, Smotrys reflects on his career journey, his passion for expedition cruising and how a pandemic-era social media post led him to meet his now-wife, Emmy. He also speaks about the evolution of the 130-year-old HX Expeditions (formerly Hurtigruten Expeditions), how the company is redefining what it means to explore remote parts of the world and why travel advisors shouldn’t be afraid to sell expeditions — even to clients who don’t consider themselves “adventurous.” This episode is sponsored by Travel Insured International.

Romance is having a huge moment and let's be honest, sometimes we all need a dose of a little happy ending.

Plus, we'll play you a taste of Em's spicy obsession she's been listening to on her commute that has her practically levitating into work.
On the surface, being a perfectionist may not seem so bad. What's wrong with wanting straight A's or an impeccable home or conflict-free relationships? But, therapists have long warned that not managing perfectionism properly can lead to anxiety, depression and a wide range of other problems. Perfectionism manifests in various ways. Sometimes people expect themselves to be perfect or feel like they will never be good enough for others. Sometimes they expect the people around them to be perfect and end up disappointed. We'll talk about the different kinds of perfectionism with experts who can help you keep it in check. Guests: Leslie Jamison, author; her recent article in The New Yorker is titled, "The Pain of Perfectionism" - her books include "Splinters: Another Kind of Love Story" and "The Empathy Exams" Sahaj Kaur Kohli, therapist, writer, speaker, and founder, Brown Girl Therapy; author of the book, "But What Will People Say?

Welcome to Earth, A Love Story. I'm excited to welcome my dear heart and soul friend Dr. Carrie Murphy onto the podcast. Carrie is a teacher, coach and Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and she and I have shared many extraordinary experiences, including the extraordinaryordinary experience of loving and supporting each other on our personal and spiritual journeys. In this conversation we start at the Big Bang and land in the dangers of bypassing and the subtle and overt victim blaming that can happen around illness and suffering. And before we get into it, I want to report from the void,from the bottom of the well, from the underworld if the underworld wasn't a word or a concept (which it isn't) but an experience. Which it is. I'm also cognizant that there may be a mixed crowd listening to this episode. New folks who aren't used to my weird and wild. So I'm going to report from the void at the end of the podcast. After the lovely conversation with the lovely Carrie Murphy. If bad poetry and slightly dark twisted traumatizing dream images are your jam, stick around for the end. In her clinical work she specializes in complex internal medicine cases and life transitions. Her coaching work utilizes the wisdom tradition of Chinese medicine to solve modern problems at work and at home. She teaches nationally at universities, conferences and in small groups, providing continuing education opportunities to her peers on the subjects of the subtle body, herb-drug safety protocols, and integrative medicine strategy; and to the general public on meditation, the subtle body, and the five elements. All of Carrie's offerings are designed to empower you to step more fully into a life that is vibrant, authentic and free. Carrie is also going to be offering a workshop on September7 at 10amMST, 12pm EST. This will be a donation based offering, and she'll be leading us through practices around the five elements.

Ça y est ! L'été est là ! C'est la saison de la lecture, quoi de mieux en vacances que de lézarder au soleil avec un bon livre ? Et pourquoi pas avec un bon livre d'amour. Cette nouvelle saison de "Love Story" est consacrée aux plus beaux couples dans les romans. A cette occasion, Alice Deroide est accompagnée de Karen Etourneau, chroniqueuse livre de notre podcast "Puzzle" et dans "Editions illimitées" du studio Super Bagatelles. C'est une fine connaisseuse du monde de l'édition et une passionnée de lecture. A travers son témoignage, découvrez sa sélection des plus beaux couples dans les romans. "En attendant Bojangles", une évidence Dans cet épisode, Alice Deroide et Karen Etourneau nous parlent de l'histoire d'amour au coeur de l'histoire de "En attendant Bojangles", un premier livre écrit par l'auteur français Olivier Bourdeaut. C'est un voyage en Espagne qui changera la vie de l'auteur, alors qu'il rend visite à ses parents. En seulement 7 semaines, il écrit un nouveau roman. Le ton est unique. La réception aussi. Les éditions Finitude contacte Bourdeaut quelques jours à peine après avoir reçu le manuscrit. "En attendant Bojangles" raconte une histoire d'amour "pure" et "folle" selon Karen Etourneau. Pour elle, parler de cette histoire d'amour est une évidence. Une histoire d'amour, mais aussi une histoire de famille En attendant Bojangles c'est une histoire d'amour, entre un homme et une femme, mais aussi une histoire de famille, avec leur fils. L'action prend principalement place dans le grand appartement de la famille, ou dans leur maison de vacances en Espagne. Un lieu sûrement inspiré par celui où Olivier Bourdeaut a écrit ce roman. Ils vont en Espagne pour chaque floraison des amandiers, quitte à déscolariser le petit pour assister à ce spectacle de la nature. Jusqu'au jour où cette femme si flamboyante, cette mère virevoltante doit être internée. Toujours sous le regard de l'enfant. De la fantaisie, des rires contre la monotonie. Olivier Bourdeaut plonge le lecteur dans un univers en marge du quotidien... Le récit de leur histoire d'amour est à écouter dans ce podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Christmas Eve, 1953, New Zealand's holiday celebrations were shattered by tragedy. The Wellington to Auckland night express, filled with passengers eager to be home for Christmas, was making its way north when disaster struck. A lahar (volcanic mudflow) had swept away the Tangiwai Rail Bridge, plunging the train into the raging Whangaehu River below. The result was catastrophic — lives were lost, and the nation was left in shock.It was one of the darkest moments in New Zealand's history. At the time, it ranked as the eighth-deadliest rail disaster in the world and captured international headlines. With a population of just over two million, nearly everyone in the country knew someone affected. The fact that it occurred on Christmas Eve only deepened the collective sorrow. To this day, it remains far more than a local railway accident — it is a national tragedy.Join Gary Kent as he explores the story of the Tangiwai disaster, uncovering its profound impact on the people involved and the country as a whole. In the midst of grief and loss, perhaps we too can find comfort and strength as we reflect on how to navigate sorrow and hardship in our own lives.

Yanni defines what a woman is (don't worry, he nails it) and takes an educated guess at what Matt Walsh is really into. Then he asks: what the hell does Gen Z do for fun? Because it's definitely not partying. Finally, Yanni tackles immigration—breaking down whether it's good or bad, with examples from history and around the world, and tells you what's actually worked and why.

Since our last episode I've been to New York City, Melanie has been to Nashville, and we both have stories to share. Truth be told, I sort of nerd it up this week as I share about the Broadway shows we saw on our trip, so please bear with me if that's not your sort of thing. MRS. HUDSON'S LITERARY CUP IS FULL. We also talk through a creative idea from Perry, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

This week Melanie and I ponder the reality of technically being old enough to be grandmothers (we know it's a wonderful thing, but we're just not there yet) - which really makes Melanie's tale of her recent wedge-adjacent injury all the more timely (and perhaps painful). We also discuss some of the highlights of last week's SEC Media Days as well as the delight that is the new Billy Joel documentary. On top of all of that, it's my turn for Five Favorites.
