Travel with Tastemakers

A New Global Report Exploring Destinations Through Leading Creative Voices
What makes a place unforgettable?
Sometimes it’s a restaurant tucked down a side street. Sometimes it’s a ritual, a morning walk, a market stall, a neighborhood that never makes the guidebooks — or a city seen through the eyes of someone who truly belongs to it.
Travel with Tastemakers is a global journey guided not by trends, algorithms, or rankings, but by people whose creative work is inseparable from place. Chefs, designers, artists, hoteliers, cultural leaders and storytellers — individuals who don’t just visit destinations, but help define their spirit.
From Paris to Mumbai, Kyoto to Mexico City, Brooklyn to Bali, this beautifully curated report brings together insider perspectives from tastemakers who know where the real stories live. These are personal maps of cities and regions shaped by memory, craft, culture, food, and identity — and written with intention, generosity, and heart.
Rather than telling you where to go, Travel with Tastemakers invites you to see how to travel: more thoughtfully, curiously, and connected to the people and traditions that make a destination what it is. Inside, you’ll discover:
- Intimate recommendations from people who know these cities best
- Creative neighborhoods, hidden rituals, and meaningful experiences
- Food, design, and culture as windows into place
- Global destinations seen through deeply local eyes
Created by FINN Partners’ Global Travel Practice, this report is both inspiration and invitation — a reminder that the most powerful travel stories are personal ones.
