Julie is the best kind of virgo energy. If I could, I would hire her to manage my life admin/logistics. With very short notice (like a few hours), she was calmly able to book me a room at one of the chicest hotels in Mexico City. The concierge at the hotel was even surprised that I got a room on such short notice. Highly recommend Julie for any travel needs! Xo

I absolutely loved working with Julie. She was so flexible, responsive and helpful. She helped us find the perfect spot for our honeymoon - she listened to exactly what we wanted and found gems. We can’t wait to plan our next trip with her help. I highly recommend using Julie!! She will make your trip even more special.

Working with Julie for our trip to the Azores was invaluable! She recommended we stay at the White Azores, and we had an incredible experience. The property was stunning, and thanks to Julie, we received valuable perks— an upgraded room that made our stay even more luxurious.

Julie’s attention to detail, thoughtful recommendations, and seamless booking process made everything so easy. We felt completely taken care of and confident in every step of our trip. We’re incredibly thankful for her guidance and can’t wait to plan our next adventure with her!

Our stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to the thoughtful planning by Julie. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away — especially by the surprise birthday cake waiting for us at check-in! Julie was happy to make recommendations for restaurants, tours, and anything else we asked of her! Everything was perfectly planned and organized in a shared Google Doc, including confirmation details, etc.
