About Me

Family Disney Trip, with my niece
Family Disney Trip, with my niece

I specialize in accessible travel for autism because I bring both professional training and real world experience to every trip I plan. As a certified accessible travel advisor, I have specialized knowledge in creating vacations that are inclusive, supportive, and thoughtfully designed for travelers with diverse needs. 

In addition to my travel expertise, I work in the ABA field as a behavior specialist, giving me a deep understanding of autism, sensory needs, routines, and the importance of predictability. This allows me to anticipate challenges before they arise and build travel plans that truly support both the child and the entire family. 

From selecting the right destinations and accommodations to creating realistic expectations for park strategies, downtime and sensory breaks, and sensory friendly experiences.

My goal is to make travel not only possible- but enjoyable, comfortable, and memorable, for every family that I work with.

A trip for the books! Need a redo!
Reviewed By Rpsbeach - Florida | Traveled to Florida | USA
Julie was amazing! We had a little one get sick on the trip and Julie had a care package of Gatorade and pedialyte delivered to the resort! She checked in with us multiple times a day and did so much to help us! She is the BEST!

Disney trip
Reviewed By AbbyS - Fall River | Traveled to Florida | USA
Julie was amazing from the very beginning stages of planning our trip! She was very helpful and informative about everything! She answered all of my questions (being a Disney Newbie) and made sure we would have the best trip possible! Before we left for the trip she even sent my son, niece and nephew fun activities for the plane! While in Disney our stroller broke and Julie stepped up and helped us get a rental! Unfortunately, my son ended up getting sick in Disney… Julie texted to check in and even sent a care package to the hotel!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her!! 1000% recommend!!

Star of the Seas Cruise
Reviewed By Tiffany - New Bedford | Traveled to CocoCay | Bahamas | Caribbean
I originally reached out to Julie to book a trip to Universal, but after sharing a few options, she introduced me to a brand new cruise experience. It felt like the perfect change, especially since I had not been on a cruise in years and it would be my daughter’s first time. I ended up booking the cruise and Julie made the entire process incredibly smooth from start to finish. She helped with planning, preparation, and kept me excited along the way by sending photos of the ship and sharing helpful updates. Since we were arriving a day early, I also planned a Disney day before boarding and she made that seamless as well. I highly recommend Julie for travel planning. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly understands the ins and outs because she experiences these trips herself. She works hard to get you the best value and goes above and beyond every step of the way. On top of that, she is someone you will genuinely enjoy working with and will want to call for every future trip. Thank you Julie ?
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Our favorite vacation yet!
Reviewed By Nicole - MA | Traveled to Montana | USA
Julie helped us book our first big trip out of New England and she hit the nail on the head with this one. The hotel at Glacier National Park was just amazing. She made the process so simple, she even came to our home at a time that worked for us. I would recommend using Julie for all of your vacation needs!

Great trips every time!
Reviewed By Dina - Dartmouth, Massachusetts | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
Julie has booked several trips for me. At least one every year! They have all been absolutely wonderful. My most recent one was to Universal Florida. I just had to check out the new Epic Universe! Julie did a fantastic job with everything. Reservations for a special dining experience? Done! Accommodations at Universal's new Stella Nova Resort! No problem! Julie did a fantastic job with all of the planning... She gave us so many excellent recommendations on everything! Want to find out where to get the best Margarita? She knows! I really didn't have to worry about a thing! Let her create your next travel experience! You'll be so happy you did!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
