Anthony Bourdain
Chef, Host, Raconteur, and World Traveler
My ongoing work in travel journalism - as a digital creator on YouTube + Instagram, and media expert on Chicago's #1 talk radio station WBBM - keeps me immersed in the world of modern, luxury travel.
From new hotel and resort openings to emerging destinations and tastemakers, I stay connected to what's next, and who's behind it.  
Every story I produce - video, article, broadcast, exclusive tour, or behind-the-scenes interview - sharpens my tools and expands my network. 
And that means my clients don't just follow the crowd - they lead it. 
Nothing unexpected or wonderful is likely to happen if you have an itinerary in Paris filled with the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower.

Virtually every European guest accommodation has a story - and I seek out the ones that tell theirs the best.  
From grand palaces to chic boutiques, each of I feature on my YouTube travel channel, JetSetJuliet Travels, are steeped in history and will elevate a journey from memorable - to mind-blowing. 
Luxury Travel Curation is my craft but storytelling is my instinct. Every time I hit the road, I'm gathering stories, meeting the characters, and investigating the secrets that make a destination unforgettable. My camera and mic are my constant companions as I turn each trip into a cinematic journey through history, culture, and style. Check out some of my YouTube Channel Playlists...
From the iconic Hotel Hassler atop Rome's Spanish Steps to a luxury stay in a 900-year old Florentine tower, I give you a behind-the-scenes look at some of the most breathtaking properties on the planet.

Sunday Brunch at an ancient Tuscan farmhouse...
Frosty beers with Italian actors and artists at a hidden Florentine dive bar...
Handmade pasta at a Venetian trattoria overlooking the basilica where the Doges are buried (while being serenaded by a handsome musician, of course)...
Dining isn't just about the food - it's about the setting and the story.  These are some of my secret spots to eat, drink, be merry...and maybe even make a local friend or two. 
From the 12th century Engiish abbey-turned-hotel that played a key role in the famous Gunpowder Plot, to the whimsical wine windows of Florence that still continue to pour out charm, I make sure my clients stray off the beaten path - visiting the places most travelers never hear about. 
Europe isn't just about the landmarks everyone queues up for hours to see.  
It's the quiet corners, forgotten chapels, and unassuming villages that give us that "authentic local soul"...

The best neighborhood if you're looking for convenience - and peace and quiet...
The time you actually need to book that dinner reservation if you don't want to be surrounded by tourists...
To tip or not to tip...
From local etiquette to local secrets, I make sure my clients feel like insiders from the moment they step off that plane, train, or ship. 
From my days at WABC Radio in NYC, to my travel segments today on Chicago's #1 talk station, I've always believed the best stories are heard as much as they're seen.
I'm a regular guest on WBBM's Travel Tuesday segment - their go-to travel expert, sharing insider tips, guidance, and trends.  Make sure to tune in 1:35pm eastern on Tuesdays!
