After two decades as a national television anchor and talk show host, storytelling is in my DNA. Today, I bring that same curiosity and producer’s instinct to travel — curating cinematic, detail-rich journeys for discerning travelers.
As the founder of JetSetJuliet Travels, I design bespoke European itineraries that blend luxury, history, and local soul — from palazzo stays in Venice and château escapes in the Loire Valley to curated cultural deep dives in London and beyond. My background in media and ongoing work as a travel expert on Chicago’s WBBM radio keep me closely connected to the world’s most inspiring destinations, emerging hotels, and tastemakers redefining modern luxury.
Whether it’s a romantic escape, a milestone journey, or an immersive cultural experience, I help my clients travel with context, confidence, and unforgettable stories to tell.
History, luxury, and authenticity – “living like a local” – are at the heart of every journey I design — where clients stay in historic properties, discover off-the-beaten-path highlights and hidden gems, and connect with local characters who bring the whole experience to life.
As far as itineraries – I’m a European history fanatic (anything having to do with a monarchy is my catnip). So, I have to say my favorite personal journey was an “Ode to Eleanor of Aquitaine” through England and France — tracing her footsteps from Chinon to Winchester, exploring the castles and abbeys she, her family, and favorite courtiers once walked (and of course, enjoying all the modern day attractions like restaurants, bars, etc. in between).
For my clients, one of my absolute favorites was curating a Venice-to-Amalfi escape for my closest friend. Every stay, meal, and moment was chosen through my personal network — from five-star hotels to beloved family-run trattorias — so their trip wasn’t only super-luxe, it was super-cool.
