Florida Correspondent This may sound like a cliche but I think-no, I KNOW- that my entire life has been geared for the very moment that I connected with Jetsetters. From my love of writing and dreams of traveling back in my younger days on a small farm in the Midwest to my degrees in Business Administration, Fine Arts, and Sports Medicine, I am finally able to compile my entire life's experiences into a life work that I absolutely LOVE! This opportunity of a lifetime means more than traveling, writing, and photography. It's about meeting people from various cultures, sharing what you know, and learning what they know. It's about bridging the gap in the differences of this world. It's about helping others and letting them help you. Not only have I been able to travel to dream locations but the connectivity that I have found are priceless! Rock climbing and sleeping on the desert floor of the surreal Joshua Tree National Park allowed me to overcome my fear of trusting others and giving up control as I depended on my belayer to get me down from heights I'd never imagine myself to climb. My greatest motivator was a senior citizen who was always the first one to try anything. I thought to myself as I watched her, if she could do it then I can do it. I would never have guessed that it was her first rock climbing experience also. Surfing in southern California the CORRECT way without getting bashed in the head and wiping out each time was quite an accomplishment. I've always dreamed of being a surfer girl. Never did I realize that my teenage dreams would come true long after my teen years were over and this was only made possible by learning from females and with females only. It was a much easier learning process. I'm realizing that it's never too late to fulfill your dreams! Kayaking through the monstrous surf of San Diego was another amazing adventure! The crashing waves don't seem so intimidating anymore. Suddenly, the fears I've faced as I deal with them head on aren't so scary after all and having experienced locals teach you the ropes makes it even better. Watching the sparkle in my daughter's eye as she sailed a boat for the first time and shared the sailor's lingo with her private instructor was not only my dream come true but hers also! Hanging with celebrities in Palm Springs and having them share with me some of their fears and dreams as if I'm one of their old buddies from days gone by is beyond words. Spending five weeks on my beloved Caribbean island was only possible through Jetsetters. Shedding the materialism and rat race stress of every day life, I was able to live as a true islander. To have no time restraints, laze under the shade of a coconut palm, and to focus only on the person and conversation at hand without my mind racing from one thing to the next. Complete and unindisturbed quality time and connectivity with another person. This is what living should be all about! I have made friends from all corners of the world for a lifetime through my travels. From the dive instructor whose father was the teacher of Jacques Cousteau to the British Commander sent by the Queen on a diving expedition to Belize to world famous yoga masters, I could list them all and tell about each person and every experience but it would take more than a lifetime. I just know that what I have gained from signing up with Jetsetters is worth more than all the riches in this world. I joined Jetsetters Magazine as a writer but now I am more than a writer. I am a photojournalist, a VIP, an Ambassador for the region I come from and the area I travel to. I represent the media, women, athletes, parents, teachers, artists, readers, travelers, students, and many others of this world. I, being one simple person, am able to make a difference by touching one life at a time. Who knew that a gal from the midwest could accomplish such a tremendous thing? Jetsetters and Kriss Hammond, did you know that when you started this magazine that you had a life-changing ministry on your hands? My life is an incredible adventure every day and is complete because of you! This comes from the very depths of my heart. Las Vegas Correspondent As I write this testimonial about Jetsetters Magazine I cannot help but reflect upon a year of unique travel, restaurant, and entertainment adventures. My guests and I have always been given red carpet treatment. Being an on-line publication, Jetsetters Magazine makes it easy for the public to access articles and reviews, as well as book travel arrangements. Many experiences stand out, but if I had to select a once in a lifetime evening, it would have to be the opening of Zumanity at New York, New York in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Cirque du Soleil is always well trained and off-center in its approach to theater. I knew the show would be interesting, but what I did not know was that the after party would be one of the most spectacular happenings to occur on the West Coast. Held on the top floor of the hotel’s parking structure, every fine restaurant from the MGM-Mirage group had a tasting booth, the Cirque du Soleil provided their own masseuses and masseurs for complimentary massages, there were performers on stilts, and the Who’s Who of Las Vegas casinos and entertainment mingling with the press and a host of Cirque wannabe’s. To cap off the evening, performers looking like human puppets dangling from a moving crane played instruments over our heads. It was a stunning sight. Then a beautiful, balletic acrobat did her pretzel twists suspended ten floors above the street. Breathtaking. The press party was a happening that finally simmered and faded at 11 a.m. the next morning. Reviewing unique destinations anywhere in the world is a tough job, but somebody has to do it. And it might as well be someone such as myself who appreciates different cultures, fine dining, and superb entertainment. Las Vegas Correspondent

Writing and traveling for Jetsetters Magazine is my "Grand Adventure."
