Jet Setting with Michele

05/28/2026

America's 250th birthday is not a regular Fourth of July. And the difference between a crowded trip and a once-in-a-lifetime memory comes down to where you choose to show up.

In this episode of Jet Setting with Me, I'm sharing where to go for the Semiquincentennial, plus the VIP ways to experience each stop. From an under-credited city that was already winning battles before the Declaration was signed, to the best on-the-water fireworks views without fighting the crowds, to what to consider when you want luxury travel touches on a trip that's more about story than spectacle, I'm covering it all. I know because I go.

If you've ever wondered how to show up for a moment this big in a way you'll never forget, this episode is for you. Listen now and start planning before the best experiences are gone.

What if exploring a culture didn't start with a map… but with a menu?

In this week's episode, I'm diving into the world of luxury food travel and we're talking all things Mexico… from elevated taco and tequila pairings to the unexpected destinations where authentic culture meets an upscale escape. We get into why this style of travel is so much more than a foodie trend, and how the right experience can turn a meal into a memory you'll never forget.
