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.

Chillin in St. Tropez: A Typical Sunny, Sandy and Seductive Jet Set Day
Whenever I spin my Jet Set Globe, it always seems to stop at St. Tropez in the summer. It’s hard to help. It’s just such a cool spot. Here’s a snip of the St. Tropez video I’m working on for Jet Set Life.
Shooting Machine Guns in Vegas
Kim and I recently took a trip to Vegas for her Bikini America competition and we decided to see what other trouble we could get in to while we were there. We called upon the services of Kaori of Angelika boutique concierge. Kaori is THE go to person in Las Vegas. I asked her if she would give us a recommendation of something that what would be cool and different to do while we were in Las Vegas. She suggested that we try shooting machine guns. You know that head tilt a dog does when they hear a high pitched sound? That’s kind of how I reacted when she said machine gun.
Bravo Lifestyle Concierge: A List of The Absolute Coolest Things To Do in Florence
I do most of the pre-trip recon before Kim and I take a trip. I vet the hotels, restaurants and night life like an obsessive mad scientist. The hard part for me has been to find cool and unique things to do during the day. One of the tools I’m starting to use more and more is the services of a boutique lifestyle concierge. They just have knowledge and access to things that you would have never thought to do.
The JK Place Hotel in Florence Italy: My Personal Palazzo
Imagine, having your own place in Florence, Italy. That’s always been a dream for Kim and I. So, when we went to Florence last week we tried to find a place that felt like home, but, because we’re on vacation, also feel like a 5 star hotel. With just a little research, we found it. It’s called the JK Place Hotel. After our stay, it was obvious why Travel and Leisure voted it one of the best hotels in 2010.
Where to Party in St. Tropez: A Few Secrets From Our Secret List
With all the talk of the recession and the world about to implode economically, I was convinced that when I arrived in St. Tropez I would see a ghost town. Nope. In fact, I found the opposite. The hotels were overbooked and I had to pull strings just to get a room. The New Jet Set were there and ready to party!
Lake Como: From Caesar To Clooney
Is it possible that one of the best travel destinations on earth has been known about for 2,000 years, and that you’ve never heard of it? Or that you’ve seen it in Hollywood films and never realised it? That famous people from Julius Caesar to George Clooney have called it home?
All this (and more) are true of “Lago di Como”, or Lake Como, situated in the north of Italy. Carved out in the shape of an upside-down “Y” by glaciers long ago, the Lake Como area has had a human presence for thousands of years. With a Mediterranean climate, it can be visited all year.
Make Room For the New Jet Set in St Tropez This Summer
St. Tropez has historically been the summer playground of the old monied Jet Set. Not any longer. The New Jet Set have arrived. The difference between the two classes of Jet Setters on the surface may seem indistinguishable, but make no mistake they are very different. One is concerned with making a bunch of cash [...]
