Hi, I’m Julia! As your trusted travel advisor, I help you discover that “certain something” that makes a destination so special. With vetted travel partners all around the world and extensive personal travel experience (50+ countries and counting!), I cut through the “noise”—and all the tourist hordes—to connect you right to the heart and soul of your destination. In Francophile terms, I help you discover the “je ne sais quoi” of a place, wherever in the world you go.

From family trips to just-for-two getaways, Parisian escapades to South African safaris, you can expect after-hours tours, private experiences, and expert guides who’ll provide the fascinating context you need to bring history to vivid, vibrant life. Plus, your meticulously designed itinerary will be crafted around your passions and preferences. For a vacation that’s deeply personal, and that’s chock full of that certain “je ne sais quoi,” I invite you to Travel Julia’s Way!
