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!

5 stars simply isn't enough when it comes to our experience with Julie! She made the hotel selection/booking process so easy and took care of absolutely every detail for us. All we had to do was show up! She recommended a hotel that perfectly matched the vibe and location we were looking for. Julie also crafted a custom itinerary full of Melbourne activities and eats that made for an unforgettable vacation. When you book with Julie, travel is so easy and stress-free. She is professional, communicative, and extremely knowledgeable about the best hotels, restaurants, and activities. We can't wait to have Julie plan our next vacation!

We can always count on Julie for a flawless trip itinerary and hotel selection! The activities were perfect for my family, each restaurant she picked for us was divine, and all of Julie's planning and attention to detail made for an unforgettable trip down under. We truly felt like VIPs at our hotel with the complimentary upgrade, hotel bar/restaurant credit, and complimentary breakfast each day that we received just for booking through Julie. She is a travel magician and I highly recommend her for all of your travel needs!

Booking this stay with Julie was amazing, we told her our vision for our trip and she executed it perfectly, her recommendations were exactly on point with what we were envisioning for our honeymoon! We wanted a good mix of relaxing and enjoying the amenities at our amazing home base, Vocabolo Moscatelli, as well as exploring the nearby area. Her recommendations and connections in the area made for the perfect mix of memorable, local experiences and exploring nearby towns. We had never been to Umbria before this trip, and we walked away falling in love with the region. We would do the trip all over again if we could, we had such an amazing time, thanks to Julie!

Booking with Julie was seamless! She gave us the perfect recommendation for our travel needs; since we were only staying in Rome for one night, we wanted something centrally located but not too bustling, and Singer Palace was the perfect balance. She was incredibly communicative, and left the sweetest note and wine in our hotel room to kick off our honeymoon!
