journeyPod is your guide to luxury travel around the world. We’ve got the inside scoop from ABC’s popular hit TV Show “The Bachelorette.” We stayed on Hawaii’s Big Island at the beautiful Fairmont Orchid Hawaii resort just like the cast and crew did for the season finale of “The Bachelorette.”
Other celebrities that have stayed at the Fairmont Orchid Hawaii include Janet Jackson, Michael Jordan and Courtney Cox. Olympic Champion Kristi Yamaguchi had her wedding here, and it is a AAA 4 Diamond oceanfront resort. Listen to our interview with the property and learn more about the Presidential Suite where Bachelorette Jillian stayed.

Come along as we explore the island of Singapore. Singapore is known for its shopping! And Orchard Road is lined with mega shopping malls. After shopping we tried the local durian fruit–even when the locals cautioned us against it! We sampled the local cuisine: chili crab, chicken & rice, nasi lemak (coconut rice), satay, ba kut teh (pork ribs), and fried hokkien mee (fried noodle with prawn). And my absolute favorite food–Kaya Toast.
Be sure to experience Singaporean culture first hand by visiting the villages: China Town, Malay Village, and India Town.
journeyPod even got a glimpse into Singaporean fashion. The latest craze…stylish, colorful footwear made by Braziliano Praia. A shout out to Kelly Tan and Michelin Star Chef Marco Pedrelli at Mandarin Oriental Singapore. And a huge thank you to Capella Singapore for their kind hospitality! This amazing six-star property open this past Spring and is breathtaking. Let’s take a listen as Michael Luible, General Manager of Capella Singapore, talks to journeyPod.com.

We hang with Shaun White at Skate Cayman in the Cayman Islands. Shaun is an Olympic Gold Medalist and has won more X Games than you can count. Shaun was in town to tear up one of the biggest and baddest skate parks in the world- The Black Pearl. He also had a chance to teach the kids some tricks as you can see. Shaun is a jetSetter himself and he shares some of his favorite spots on the island and abroad.
journeyPod are big fans of the Cayman Islands, so it was a nice bonus to checkout the park which offers 52,000 square feet of challenging concrete curves to satify any skater. If you prefer waves over pavement, then hit their 11 foot wave machine which of course is the highest in the world!

journeyPod is your guide to luxury travel around the world. Come along as we explore the island of Singapore. Our first stop is actually a small island off the coast of Singapore–Sentosa Island. Connected by a bridge, Sentosa Island offers many exciting attractions such as The Merlion, Cafe Del Mar, the Luge, and Tiger Sky Tower. Sentosa Island is also the location of the much anticipated “Resort World,” opening later next year.
Let’s take a listen as Ben Bousnina, General Manager of Rasa Sentosa Resort talks to journeyPod.com. Check out the new song, “Islands of Desire”, by Ichiro Nakagawa.
