About
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.

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 picked a great hotel for me in the Greensboro area. Everything was set when I arrived and the room I was given was really a great corner room. I cannot recommend her services enough.
