About Me

Monument Valley
Monument Valley

There has never been a better time to explore the United States. As America celebrates its 250th birthday, travelers everywhere are rediscovering the beauty, history, and adventure waiting right in our own backyard. And if you're coming from across the pond, consider this your invitation to the 250th birthday party.

From the rhythm of the rails to the winding trails of our national parks and the legendary rivers that helped shape our country, the USA is filled with stories waiting to be experienced.

I am passionate about helping you discover America in ways that are both meaningful and memorable.

Imagine watching the country roll past your window on a scenic rail journey through the Rockies, hiking a quiet trail at sunrise in one of our spectacular national parks, or drifting along a historic river where explorers, traders, and dreamers once traveled before us.

These are the kinds of journeys that slow you down just enough to notice the details in the landscapes, the small towns, and the moments that become lifelong memories.

Whether you're a solo traveler looking for freedom and discovery, a couple ready for a nostalgic adventure, a group of friends seeking new experiences, or a family hoping to show the next generation what makes this country so remarkable, there is an American journey designed just for you.

From coast to coast, the United States offers iconic rail routes, scenic trails, charming river towns, and unique hotels that capture the spirit of the places you visit.

Traveling across the USA isn’t just about seeing the landmarks...it’s about experiencing the stories that shaped them. It’s about standing on a bridge overlooking a powerful river, walking a trail where history unfolded, or simply watching the landscape change as your train carries you from one unforgettable destination to the next.

As a travel advisor, I take pride in helping travelers plan these journeys with ease and confidence. My goal is to take the stress out of planning so you can focus on what matters most: the adventure ahead and the memories waiting to be made.

America is turning 250—and that’s a celebration worth traveling for. If exploring the USA has ever been on your bucket list, now is the perfect time. Call me and I will help you see the USA, whether it's by rail, trail, river, or even in your Chevrolet.

Our very own Fairy Godmother
Reviewed By GrammyFan2026 - Frankenmuth, MI | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
We began talking with Julee Wilke for the first time when our trip to Disney World was in the "maybe" stage until the day we left. The trip included our five and seven-year-old grandkids, our son and DIL and Papa and myself. Julee's hotel and food suggestions saved us so much time in research and made for a vacation that covered everyone's wants, needs and must haves. It seems there was no question too challenging (bands, lightning lane, reservations...) as she'd quickly respond with confidence. We have always done our own planning and put in hours upon hours of research. This was almost too easy. We are forever grateful for her part in our family vacation and look forward to another trip soon, just so we can use her talents and knowledge again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Spur of the moment “SENIOR” trip!
Reviewed By KWiseman - Orlando | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Julee helped my husband and I check off a bucket list (for me) trip to Disney to simply wander as a newly retired couple and explore all that the parks have to offer ! She pulled together a well thought out itinerary coupled with great tips and suggestions for our spur of the moment getaway. She was quick to respond to any questions and genuinely seemed invested in our trip. In spite of our relatively modest plans, she was very attentive.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
