Julie Welch

Julie’s passion for travel began when she studied Spanish through school. This inspired an increasingly inquisitive nature about foreign places and people. Since then, she’s lived abroad in Latin America and traveled extensively, seeking new and different encounters all over the world.

Continuing to engage in new places, she is driven by finding extraordinary experiences to help travelers make unique connections. She believes that travel is personal, and if approached thoughtfully, can truly transport us. Julie’s expertise circles the globe with distinctions in travel to Africa, Australia, Europe, and South America.
