About Me

Sunset in the sand: Dubai
Sunset in the sand: Dubai

I bring a lifelong love of travel and first-hand experience from journeys across the United States and most continents, traveling for both business and pleasure.  I specialize in thoughtfully planned cruises and European travel, with a particular passion for intimate river cruises that allow travelers to experience destinations in a deeper, more meaningful way.

Some of my favorite destinations include Germany's storybook towns and Christmas markets, Scotland-especially Edinburgh during its world-famous summer festivals-and Spain, with its rich blend of history, culture, and modern life.  I take pride in creating well-designed journeys by land or sea, tailored to each client's interests, pace, and style.

Beyond Europe

I design relaxed, thoughtfully curated journeys for travelers who are ready to enjoy travel at a more comfortable pace. Whether it's the modern elegance of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, or a refined beachfront resort, each itinerary is created with balance and personal attention in mind.

My travels through London, Wales and beyond have included river cruises and luxury rail journeys in Switzerland  that blend both culture and comfort. I also plan wellness-focused escapes from yoga retreats in Mexico to scenic cruises in Hawaii or Alaska-offering opportunities to unwind, explore, and truly enjoy the journey without feeling rushed.

Best Spring Break Trip!!!
Reviewed By World Traveler - Portland, OR | Traveled to Helsinki | Finland | Europe
I came to Julie requesting recommendations for a family Spring Break trip to Helsinki, Finland. She returned with a fabulous, descriptive, and complete guide that resulted in a wonderful vacation for myself, my husband, and my son! She provided details about towns, historical sites, food, transportation, Finnish culture, etc., etc.! We used Julie's written guide throughout our trip and hit every spot she recommended! All of her suggestions and directions were perfect and spot on. I can't recommend Julie enough - she is a passionate and experienced world traveler and knows how to navigate the intricacies of foreign and domestic touring! Choose Julie to help you plan your next trip. I am certain she will curate an epic experience for you.
