Falling for Justine Shapiro

A couple weeks ago, Salon’s “Ask the Pilot” columnist Patrick Smith revealed his crush on Justine Shapiro, a host on TV’s Globe Trekker show. “I have been secretly in love with Justine for some time now,” he proclaims. Turns out, he’s not the only traveler smitten with Shapiro. In Smith’s most recent column, he writes: “I’ve been introduced to the murky workings of stalker etiquette, having received no fewer than five letters from men claiming exclusive rights on Justine’s affections. One guy challenged me to a duel. ‘Just don’t tell my wife,’ he says.” A quick Google search reveals these guys are not alone. Shapiro’s charms have even inspired fan pages, including this one by a guy in France. (Beware: It’s got pop-up ads galore.) As far as travel crushes go, these guys could pick a lot worse. Shapiro’s a confident, thoughtful host and traveler, a documentary filmmaker and she survived a DC-10 crash.
