I realized recently that it’s really my rolodex of contacts that gets me dialed-in when I travel. If I know someone cool that knows a location well, it’s likely they’ll hook me up with under the radar stuff — that I would NEVER find on the internet. It really IS about WHO you know.
I get emails from people who are trying to connect with me for the same reason. Asking where to go when they are in such and such a place. But, to be honest, I really don’t respond to all of them. At times it’s just too much. I also get asked to create some kind of newsletter to help them decide where to go next. The truth is, I just have too much on my plate!
But, Kim convinced me to do it. She said, “stop whining and just create one”, so, I did. It came out great, too (if I do say so myself)! Here’s how I broke it down:
Every month you’ll receive a brand new Jet Set Secret Destination, along with our secret hidden spots to check out that we don’t tell anyone. This is going to be very cool! Now, you’ll know what Kim and I know. Nothing held back. From the relaxed comfort of your iPhone/iPad/ or regular old computer — you’ll have a growing collection of the hottest spots on the planet and know exactly where to go and what to do when you get there.
Just for funzies, we’re going to offer something completely new and different. We’re going to record us planning our next trip. Before Kim and I take a trip we find the ‘go to’ Jet Setter that knows the destination we’re going to like the back of his hand. An ‘insider’, if you will. Then, rake him over the coals and beat him into total submission, until he reveals the secret hidden spots that he doesn’t want to get out.
We then put it pretty for you. We package the Jet Set Insider Monthly Newsletter and Jet Set Insider MP3 recording and put it all on a silver platter for you. I’ve even gotten permission for you to contact the Jet Set Insiders we interview personally (as long as you’re cool with them and don’t abuse it). These are VERY connected insiders. This is the fastest way I know of for you to create your own Jet Set circle.
The idea is pretty simple. Over a 12 month period we take you inside our world and let you know all of our Secret Spots. So, how much should we charge? I said A LOT! Kim said, “don’t be an a** hole, make it fair”. We’re still debating on the price. I don’t know how much I’m going to charge yet.
Here’s what I do know. I’m going to offer to readers of this blog a special price and on a first come first served basis ONLY. So, if you even think you might be into it, enter your email in the early list below and I’ll let you know as soon as I know something.

Headed to Aeolian Islands tomorrow (off the coast of Sicily) in search of more cool spots! If anyone is going to be in that area just drop whistle and maybe we can hook up:)
