My Story

For as long as I can remember, travel has always been about where the next great meal would be! Love a great hotel, craft cocktails, hidden gems and local food experiences as a window to new cultures.

Check out my local Chicago recs in this Journal article, The Best of Chicago: Local Fora Advisors Share Their Tips on How to Make the Most of Your Windy City Vacation.

Travel Style

Finding the very best authentic local food and experiences at a destination is what we crave! We drop our bags and hit the ground running (walking and biking, too) to explore everything from street food to Michelin-starred cuisine with cocktails and cultural activities mixed in. I love planning and researching and want travel itineraries to be fun, personal, memorable and not overwhelming. Falling into a luxurious bed at the end of the day is always a bonus!

Julie never misses. She is very intuitive, with a great attention to detail. She knows us, and sets up itineraries to match our needs. She is very knowledgeable, but balances her instincts with our preferences and needs. She is super responsive, and focused on making sure we are getting the plan we are seeking. We have recommended her to friends and family, and they would give a similar rating/review. We are using her again soon, and will many more times going forward.
