Paul Brady didn’t always want to be a journalist. But when
he participated in a language-immersion program in Italy between high school
and college, he fell in love with travel. Now, he’s the current news director
and cruise expert for consumer publication Travel + Leisure.
In this episode of Humans of Travel, we’ll hear about what
it’s like to work for one of the most well-known U.S.-based travel magazines
today — what makes a compelling story, what a typical day looks like and what
it really means when you’re tasked with creating content that needs to appeal
to a wide range of travelers.
This episode is sponsored by The Globus Family of Brands.
