About B

 

Brian Berusch, founder and publisher of B on Hawaii, has been reporting on trends within the travel, culinary, luxury and lifestyle markets since 1996. Through extensive travels, interaction with key players, the cultivation of business relationships, and an ongoing effort to hone his writing, photography, design and production skills, Berusch has positioned himself as the travel industry's "go-to" guy for all things travel-trend related.

Berusch’s long-term goal for B on Hawaii is to open the lines of communication between travel product sellers, creative industry decision makers, consumers and those with an interest in the lifestyle happenings within the Hawaiian Islands. Certainly not limited to readers within Hawaii, the newsletter and Web site should reflect content that is readable to both those within the various industries that keep Hawaii a unique place to live and visit, as well as incite visitors and locals to demand new and better product offerings. Paradise should not be compromised in any way: This should reflect in the types of experiences we offer to visitors and residents of Hawaii.

Editorial work by Berusch has been seen in Town & Country Travel, Travel + Leisure, Saveur, Wine Enthusiast, Elite Traveler, Islands, Gotham, L.A. Confidential, Modern Bride, Destination Weddings & Honeymoons, Hawaiian Style, Honolulu Magazine, San Diego Magazine, HI Luxury, Modern Luxury Hawaii, En Route, Hospitality Design, American Express’ SkyGuide, Freesurf, Watch Aficionado, Travel Weekly and Travel Agent. Berusch has also edited and written on a project basis for Zagat Survey and National Jeweler, in addition to consultant work with many of America’s top advertising agencies. Berusch has also published more than a dozen photographs in various lifestyle magazines and newspapers. Stories composed by Berusch have been picked up by digital outlets that include MSNBC and CNN.com.

For the better part of two years, Brian hosted Hawai`i's NBC-affiliated "Travel Tuesdays" on-air segment, which covered the ins and outs of global travel during the station's morning show. He has also completed various culinary training initiatives, including workshops at La Mer in Honolulu and Villa San Michele in Fiesole, Italy, in addition to wine training at Frantoio in Mill Valley, California.
