Our Story
Journey by Julie is a Midwest-based travel agency specializing in meticulously designed journeys with over-the-top support. We bring an approachable touch to elevated travel.
Travel Style
My love for travel actually started somewhere unexpected: private aviation. My husband is a pilot, and together we own multiple private aviation businesses. That hands-on experience with the operational side of aviation gives me a perspective most travel advisors simply don't have.
I started Journey by Julie because I believe elevated travel doesn't have to feel stuffy or out of reach. Approachable luxury is at the heart of everything I do: thoughtfully designed itineraries, hand-picked hotels and experiences, and support that goes far beyond the typical. I'm with you from the first conversation to the moment you're back home unpacking.

Working with Julie was such an amazing experience from start to finish! Her communication was always clear, fast, and so helpful, which made the entire planning process stress-free and exciting. She was incredibly organized and truly took our travel preferences into account every step of the way, making our honeymoon feel completely personalized to us.
She was also so kind and easy to work with, which made everything even better. The Tern app was amazing and kept all of our travel details organized and easy to access throughout the trip. Our honeymoon was everything and more, and we are so thankful for all the care and effort Julie put into making it so special. We could not recommend her enough!

Julie did an outstanding job planning our Hawaii trip. She took care of every detail, created a wonderful itinerary tailored to our interests, and found great accommodations and activities. Julie was always available whenever we needed her — quick to respond and ready to help with any request or last-minute change.

Julie was absolutely phenomenal to work with. She made the entire trip-planning process effortless and stress-free, handling every detail with meticulous care. We were so impressed that we honestly won’t ever book a trip without her again — she has completely spoiled us!
Julie went above and beyond with thoughtful touches that made our trip unforgettable. She planned a special birthday surprise for our son that made him feel incredibly special, and she even arranged sweet welcome gifts at our hotel upon arrival. We can’t say enough great things about Julie. If you’re looking for a travel advisor who makes trips seamless, personalized, and truly memorable — she’s the one.
