Work With Richard Jarocki

A race weekend. A memorable dinner. A trip you have wanted to take for years. Let’s put some thought into making it worth your time.

I’m Richard, the person behind RJVIPGP. I write about the places I visit, the meals I remember and the details I would want to know before booking. Sometimes that means a tasting menu. Sometimes it means figuring out how you’re getting back from the circuit.

If you want help with your own plans, start with trip planning. If you represent a brand, let’s talk about a partnership that fits the way I travel and the stories I tell.

Trip planning

Make room for the parts you’ll remember.

You may have flights booked and a few gaps to fill. You may be starting with a destination and no idea where to stay. Tell me what you have in mind, and we can work out where I can help.

Itineraries that make sense

Hotel locations, neighborhoods, things to do and a sensible order for your days. I can help compare options, review plans you’ve already made or put together a more detailed itinerary. The goal is to enjoy the trip, not spend it rushing between reservations.

Dinners worth planning around

A birthday, a date night, a chef’s counter or a great meal in a new city. Tell me what you like, what you want to spend and the kind of evening you want. Food matters, but so do service, atmosphere, dietary needs and how far you’ll be traveling afterward.

Formula 1, with time for the city

I can help you think through grandstand and hospitality options, where to stay, transportation and what fits around the race schedule. My own trips have taught me to pay attention to the journey home from the circuit and whether that dinner reservation is actually realistic.

Start with the basics: your destination or race, approximate dates, number of travelers, budget and the decisions you want help with. We’ll discuss the scope and availability before moving forward.

Brand partnerships

Travel Brand Partnerships With a Firsthand Perspective

My travel brand partnerships focus on destinations, hotels, restaurants, transportation and products that fit the way I actually travel. I’m looking for a genuine connection and a story worth sharing.

Destination, hotel and culinary coverage

Articles, guides and features that help readers understand the experience. What makes it different? Who is it for? What should someone know before spending their time and money?

Formula 1 and the trip around it

Race-weekend stories connecting the circuit with the destination: hotels, meals, transportation, hospitality and products that have a useful role along the way.

Writing, photography and social content

Original content for RJVIPGP, a partner’s channels or an agreed combination of both. Sponsored features, hosted experiences, product integrations and longer-term collaborations can all be part of the conversation. We’ll agree on deliverables, timing and usage before the work begins.

My opinions stay my own. Paid, hosted and affiliate relationships are disclosed. A partnership does not buy a positive review, and I won’t describe something as firsthand experience if I haven’t experienced it.

Discuss a Partnership

Get a feel for my work.

A memorable meal, a race weekend and the city around it. These stories show the details I notice and the advice I bring home.

Personal attention. Straight answers.

I bring more than two decades of experience working with clients and leading teams. Listening, following through and being clear about what I can deliver are habits I bring to RJVIPGP, too.

My travels give me a starting point. Your preferences shape the recommendations. I’ll tell you what I know firsthand, what I’ve researched and what still needs to be confirmed.
