Kidwell

I’m Julie Kidwell, founder of Elevated Travel, where I design thoughtfully curated journeys for families, couples, and groups who want the ease of expert planning paired with a highly personal point of view. My background in tech shaped the way I work: organized, detail-driven, responsive, and skilled at turning complex travel decisions into seamless, well-paced experiences.

My clients are often busy professionals, parents, and multi-generational families who appreciate exceptional hotels, elevated service, considered design, and access to the right experiences—not just the obvious ones. I take the stress out of planning by translating their priorities into a polished, personal travel experience, so they can stay focused on what matters most: the people they’re traveling with.

My style is refined but never fussy. I care about the atmosphere, the view, the arrival experience, the breakfast, the pool scene, the neighborhood, and whether the itinerary still feels effortless when everyone is tired. Whether it’s Europe, Hawaii, Costa Rica, a city escape, or a milestone celebration, I help clients travel beautifully with the people they love most.
