How travelers travel
Going heart-to-heart with the world’s most influential travelers to discover the places, moments, and memories that have shaped them.
Each episode offers a rolodex of recommendations to help you plan your own travels; from unconsidered destinations to the world’s most unmissable hotels. Together, we want to understand how travel can evoke in us the strongest of feelings – and the most enduring emotions.
In this episode of The Pursuit of Feeling, host Tom Marchant sits down with Jeremy Langmead for a conversation about instinct, emotion, and the quiet power of paying attention.
Jeremy’s career has helped shape how many of us see style, culture, and modern life. He has been editor in chief of Esquire and Wallpaper, and was a founder and editor in chief of Mr Porter at its launch with Net-a-Porter. Across print, digital, and commerce, his work has consistently explored the difference between what looks good and what truly feels right.
But this conversation moves beyond titles and achievements. Together, Tom and Jeremy trace a journey from page-bound wanderlust to real-world curiosity. They explore how literature trained Jeremy to notice detail, how travel sharpens instinct and taste, and why curiosity, attention, and even a little friction often sit at the heart of creativity and growth. From the rush of New York to the hush of the Dolomites, from Istanbul side streets to Bhutan’s cliffside monasteries, Jeremy reflects on how places shape state of mind, and why the smallest details often matter most.
Jeremy also speaks candidly about living with a recurring cancer diagnosis, and how it has reshaped his relationship with time, intention, and luxury itself. The takeaway is simple and profound: the future of luxury is presence. Paying attention. Creating space for feeling. And allowing the places we go to quietly change who we become.
