"Travel Junkie" Julia Dimon may be just a wee bit more adventuresome than your average travel journalist. In fact, as host of National Geographic Adventure's Word Travels and MSNBC's Destination Getaway, Dimon has hiked with mountain gorillas in Uganda, gone 'radioactive' in Chernobyl, been 'tortured' in a Latvian prison, and has willingly eaten live scorpions, bugs and slugs all across the globe!

Working in partnership with DoubleTree by Hilton's new social-driven, travel-planning YouTube channel called DTour, she gives advice for planning a unique experience that goes beyond the guidebook, using social media to get ideas, connect with other travelers and share your experiences, plus tips on how to save while booking those trips during peak travel season.
