My Story

A wine and food enthusiast who gets weak in the knees for aesthetics and boutique hotel charm. Also, your dog's biggest fan.

Travel Style

I am passionate about sustainable wanderlust and I seek to leave a positive footprint on each destination I visit. I prioritize authentic experiences, hunting for hidden gems off the beaten path, immersing myself in local culture and supporting community-driven initiatives. Blending in with the locals, savoring the flavors of chic cafés and discovering the culinary delights of the best restaurants known only to insiders is my specialty. I seek to optimize costs through points and miles, but splurge on unforgettable experiences that enrich my journey and create lasting memories. For me, travel isn't just about seeing the sights, it's about forging connections, savoring moments and leaving each place enriched and better than I found it.

Full time, I am a leukemia nurse practitioner. Caring for this patient population is what started my passion for travel. Understanding that life is short and unpredictable, pushed me to leave my comfort zone and stop waiting for "one day" to get out and explore. I hope to encourage and help others turn their "one day" into now.

travel to Cleveland

Julia booked this trip for us practically at the last minute. I grew up close to Cleveland but she was able to find great experiences for us to enjoy in town that blew away my expectations. Our stay at the Fidelity was at the top of the list. It was a great weekend.

Julia was easy to work with and went above and beyond for us! We didn't often consider working with an agent but Julia was excellent - we now we are completely sold! We look forward to working with her again soon.

Julia is truly the best! From the very beginning, she was incredibly accommodating and attentive to our budget, travel preferences, and overall vision for the trip. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and curated a thoughtful selection of options that perfectly matched our needs. Julia booked our accommodations for Croatia and Montenegro, and every place was spot-on—comfortable, well-located, and exactly what we had hoped for. We can’t recommend Julia enough for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and detail-oriented travel planner!

Where do I even begin… stumbling upon Julia on Instagram was the biggest blessing. She put her entire heart and soul into making sure our honeymoon trip was perfect and it absolutely was perfect. Planning a trip to a country neither my husband or I have ever been to while we were busy with work and planning a wedding sounded very intimidating. Julia was the perfect solution. Her attention to detail and genuine passion for other cultures is what sets her apart from other travel agents. She went above and beyond to make this trip seamless. We enjoyed authentic experiences and were steered away from tourist traps. She’s a wonderful person and cares so much about her clients. I never hesitate to recommend her to any friends and family!
