My Story

I plan thoughtfully crafted journeys for discerning travelers who value great design, authentic experiences, and seamless execution. My specialty is curating design-forward stays and culturally immersive itineraries that blend style, service, and a deep sense of place.

Travel Style

I travel to explore all of my passions in a way that’s authentic and unique to each destination. That means appreciating interior design and architecture that reflects a true sense of place, responsibly engaging with nature and wildlife, shopping with local artisans and makers, savoring regional food and wine, and diving into history and culture.

I’m a high-low traveler at heart. I love luxury, but it has to be authentic and worth it. I believe you don’t need to splurge everywhere you go, especially if you’re going to be busy and active off-property. Some of my favorite trips mix a more luxurious resort hotel with a more charming boutique stay, a Michelin-starred tasting menu with a family-run trattoria, or a relaxing resort day followed by a full-day boat adventure.

Originally from California, I spent six years in New York City before settling in Nashville with my husband and our two young boys. This blend of experiences shapes how I design itineraries: sophisticated but never stuffy, adventurous but not exhausting, luxurious but always grounded in what makes a destination special.

I specialize in milestone travel like honeymoons, babymoons, first trips with a new baby, anniversary getaways, and multigenerational family adventures. I also work with clients on annual travel planning, helping them map out their travel year to make the most of their time off, maximize experiences across different seasons and destinations, and ensure every trip serves a purpose, whether that’s celebration, exploration, or simply recharging.

What I love most about this work is getting to know my clients deeply and understanding their preferences, travel rhythms, and what truly matters to them so I can recommend places I genuinely think they’ll love, often destinations they’ve never considered but that align perfectly with their style.

Whether you’re planning a long weekend escape or a 3-week honeymoon, I craft bespoke itineraries focused on what matters most to you. My approach is intentional but never over-planned: some structure, plenty of recommendations, and always room to wander.

Julia made planning our honeymoon to Paris and Switzerland absolutely seamless! From coordinating hotels, dinner reservations, and activities to handling every train and car transfer between cities, she took care of every detail. We never had to worry about a thing. She also went above and beyond by suggesting amazing spots for shopping and dining on our free days — every recommendation was spot-on. Thanks to Julia, our trip was stress-free, beautifully organized, and truly unforgettable.

Julia provided the optimal itinerary, which we wouldn't have come to on our own. Very responsive and very thoughtful/bespoke and practical in her recommendations.

Julia knocked it out of the park planning this Italy trip for me. She found the best hotels, made sure the logistics were seamless, listened to my needs, and recommended places I never would have found on my own. I'm recommending her to anyone and everyone who needs a travel advisor.

Julia helped us narrow down our options of where to go for our minimoon when we were overwhelmed planning our wedding. She sent us hotel and destination options that met our exact requirements and we couldn't be happier with our experience. We're already working with her on our bigger honeymoon later next year.
