Easy Travels

Time for the next edition of our Local Chats! Martin and Chris had the privilege of speaking with Nexion's own Becqi Sherman, four-year resident of Jacksonville, who joined the conversation to talk about everything this often-overlooked Florida city has to offer and why she chose to make it her home.

Recorded at CoNexion 2026 in Austin, TX, Chris and Martin interviewed travel advisor Aiste Stanley in front of a live audience (yes, that's real applause you're hearing). Aiste was kind enough to join us for a quick discussion of her travel industry origin story, starting her own agency (Trabeona Travels) and the necessity of travel professionals to sometimes choose between the lesser of two evils.

Thanks for listening and, as always, Easy Travels!

Get ready for the Royal treatment! In this partner chat, Martin and Chris sit down with Vicki Freed from Royal Caribbean to discuss the cruise line putting fun and adventure at the forefront of everything they do.

In this episode, Martin sits down with Terri "TC" Phelps, not only an expert travel advisor but an expert on all things Denver, Colorado.

For this Partner Chat, Martin and Chris were joined by Virgin Voyages' Lauren Harris, who walked our dynamic duo through what's new with the cruise line that challenges all the expectations associated with cruising. Get your tall glass of iced tea ready, because it's a spicy one today.

Today's episode was recorded during the blistering pre-July 4th heat wave, so just to cool things down, Chris and Martin decided to sit back with a tall glass of iced tea and discuss some of the lesser-known gems of their respective home towns.

We hope you've been enjoying the Easy Travels podcast! Our supplier partner conversation series will resume later this month, but for now, enjoy a little bit of Chris and Martin for the road.

Strap in for a rugged journey through the nuances of expedition travel! Chris and Martin sat down with Carly Stonecypher from Project Expedition to discuss some of the very cool experiences they provide.

In this episode, Martin and Chris sit down with John Chernesky of Norwegian Cruise Line. John hardly needs an introduction, and his interview skills speak for themselves. Nonetheless, it was good to hear about what NCL has to offer. Even Chris's surprise question couldn't stump this one.
