January 19, 2010 at 9:40 AM | by | Comments (0)

When you think of super world traveling celebrities, usually people like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie come to mind, or Rihanna with all the concert-to-concert jetsetting she's been doing. But oftentimes, because of their huge celeb status, these big names never get to truly experience a destination, let alone pass along recommendations. For this reason, our favorite super world traveler is burlesque star Dita Von Teese.

To the delight of travel dorks and her fans around the world, Dita is a regular on Twitter, sharing everything from her favorite restaurants to layover and jetlag tips. She might even travel more than most celebrities, seeing as how her various endorsements and performances bring her to places are varying as Miami, Sao Paulo, Kazakhstan, Beijing and Moscow over only a few months. Plus she spends half her time in Paris, so we can always count on true gems of recommendations for Parisian hotspots.

To travel as glamorously as Dita, we've compiled a few of her great travel advice tweets after the jump...


Dita walks through Paris' Roissy Airport; guess which baggage cart is hers?

GO WHERE DITA DOES!

Paris Restaurant: "The sexiest restaurant in Paris is www.laperouse.fr Reserve a private salon upstairs!"

Paris Hotel: "For those asking for low-rent cute Paris hotels, I used to stay here. http://hotel-chalgrin.com/ *The only frills are on the walls though!*" and "I discovered the Chalgrin via Ellen von Unwerth & The Raphael from Ali Mahdavi. Glam shoot locations! Lots of history in both hotels..." and "I stand by my beloved Hotel Raphael! Gainsbourg lived there, Brando, Hepburn, JFK too! (But I now live in the 4th!)" and "The Hotel Raphael in Paris is my favorite hotel in the world. Book my red velvet room & order a Cointreauteese in the bar!"

Paris Bars: "Mathis Bar & The Hemingway at The Ritz."

London Hotel: "The Dorchester London has some of the most exquisite authentic 40's Hollywood Regency penthouses in the world, like a movie set." and "http://twitpic.com/r82zj - I can't get over my jewel-box hotel room. Behold the gilded shell toilette."

Los Angeles activities: "Afternoon horseback ride through beechwood canyon. Best thing you can do for $25 in L.A.! (at Sunset Ranch)"

Los Angeles shopping: "For LA vintage~ The Way We Wore on La Brea + don't miss www.vintageclothingexpo.com !! It's coming up...!"

Sao Paulo restaurants: "LOVE Brazilian food! Things cooked with coconut, banana, pumpkin...my favorite! Went to a restaurant called Brasil a gosto. Delicious!"

Sao Paulo shopping: "Loving the Melissa shoe store here in Sao Paulo! Comfy Swarovski gummy shoes!! Next week=Great Wall of China, so I'll be needing sensible-yet glam-shoes. Mission accomplished!"

Kazakhstan activities: "Best layover EVER! Dangerous tobaggan ride through the hills of Kazakhstan! (Wearing Louboutins+Vuitton coat) http://twitpic.com/ogbwu - In case you ever find yourself in Almaty, KZ. GO HERE!"

And she found yet another tobaggon track at the Great Wall of China: http://twitpic.com/ov14q.

Sure we're jealous that she can travel around the world and emerge from a 14-hour flight looking flawless, but she's so willing to share her favorite places with the world that we're more enthralled. Now to book that London hotel room with the gilded shell toilet...
