What is a jet-setter?
We believe that it is a common misconception that the term jet-setting is wholly synonymous with wealth and class. Being a jet-setter means that you refuse to live an unfulfilling life. Every jet-setter has a desire to explore, a passion for pleasure, an excitement for exclusivity. Anyone can be a jet-setter as long as they carry themselves with a certain je ne sais quoi, never turn down an opportunity to broaden their horizons and refuse to live an insular and mediocre life.
Below are the Jet Set Gazette's team of dedicated, energetic and young wordsmiths. The exciting mixture of interests, backgrounds and writing styles mean that The Jet Set Gazette has something to offer for everyone.

Joshua Zitser -
Director and Editor of the Jet Set Gazette
Josh originally came up with the idea for the Jet Set Gazette in mid-2012 whilst working as a writer for www.kingsroad.co.uk. He believed that there was a 'gap in the market' for an online lifestyle guide aimed at the trend-setting, jet-setting young adults of London. Most magazines available were either aimed at older professionals or their children. The JSG is aimed at the financially independent, but frugal, fun-loving, party-going, restaurant-hopping young adults of London.
Josh has gained experience at a number of local and national publications, including the Telegraph Media Group, Total Politics, The Huffington Post and Yahoo. He was born in Hampstead, North West London, but has made it his mission to explore all parts of London, no matter how bizarre they may be. He is still residing in London and his favourite places to visit are Chelsea Embankment, Southbank and the Stables Market in Chalk Farm.
