Jet Setting With Me | Luxury Travel Tips, Set-Jetting & Travel Hacks for Trips That Hold Up
Jet Setting With Me is a luxury travel podcast about set-jetting — the destinations we see on screen and can't stop thinking about — and how a working travel advisor turns those daydreams into trips that hold up under real scrutiny.
Hosted by Michele Schwartz, founder of the Jet Setting With Me travel design agency and a Certified Travel Associate (CTA), the show explores set-jetting as a discipline rather than a trend: the work of designing itineraries around the films, shows, and series shaping where people want to go next. Episodes cover luxury travel design, cruise destinations (both ocean and river), theme park travel, and multigenerational and group travel — pairing the behind-the-scenes of a location with the operational reality of building a trip there. What to expect, what to skip, what most travelers miss, and the small editorial choices that separate a thoughtfully designed itinerary from one that's been assembled out of a brochure.
Most episodes are solo. The occasional guest joins when the conversation calls for it.
Michele has spent 35 years in hospitality — beginning at the front desk of Walt Disney World resorts across all three tiers, then through event planning and the weddings industry, and now into custom travel design for clients who want their trips designed rather than packaged. That operational background runs through every episode, and it's the part most travel podcasts don't have.

170. Think Cruising Isn’t for You? You’re Choosing Wrong
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The wrong cruise can make you swear off cruising for good. In this episode, I’m sharing the 5 questions that can help you find the ship, cabin, and cruise style that actually fits how you like to travel. We’ll cover everything from ocean vs. river cruising to adults-only ships, cabin choices, onboard spending, and the experience you want at the end of each day. Because the problem might not be cruising, it might be the cruise you chose.
