David Prior, host of the Traveling Through podcast, designs immersive travel experiences that are rooted in culture. PRIOR weaves together access to the rare, real and wonderful in some of the most intriguing places in the world. Built for the most discerning travelers, Prior builds meaningful journeys based on his background as a travel editor, his studies of gastronomic sciences in Italy, and his time working with Alice Waters in California. Conde Nast Traveler once described his international network as an unrivaled black book of contacts from the fisherman to the prince.

Under his leadership, PRIOR has been praised by Food & Wine as “one of America’s most innovative companies” and by Vogue for “creating the most beautiful trips.” David serves on the Travel + Leisure Advisory Board and is a frequent voice on culture, craftsmanship, and the future of meaningful travel.
