About The JetShopper

Shopping is an opportunity to learn more about the culture of your destination. While many travel sites specialize in offering advice on accommodations and transportation, few focus on the overall shopping experience. As an international brand strategist, I’ve had an opportunity to visit many countries with a specific goal – to shop like a local. Before taking a trip anywhere, check here first to find tips on what stores to visit (new openings, old mainstays), when is the best time to go (annual sale dates), and how to shop (haggling vs. paying the price as marked). When you get back from your trip be sure to share your shopping stories with us!
