About
A compulsive curator, aspiring slow traveler and recovering former litigator. Half-French, half-Canadian and always hungry.
Travel style
I love seeking out luxury and elevated experiences just as much as I thrive on discovering under-the-radar local haunts. I get a thrill from beating the crowds and taking the road less traveled, and am always on the hunt for the real deal or the next big thing. Travel doesn't have to be all or nothing – I'll help you find the perfect balance between indulgence and exploration, tried-and-true classics and up-and-coming gems, Michelin-star and dive bar.

Julia's reviews
Julia simply gets it. My husband and I wanted to stay in a beautiful, boutique hotel with a solid location to venture out to shopping and restaurants. The Manner was the perfect spot to enjoy our morning coffee and come back to after a full day of being on our feet. This was our first time choosing to go to New York without restaurant reservations, but we asked Julia for guidance on quick eats and fun places to discover that were more casual. She did just that and everywhere we tried was perfection. I will never use another travel agent, and every friend and family member who will listen to me uses her too :) she takes the best care and curates exactly what you’re after. She has a sixth sense!

I have used Julia as my travel guide for the past 2 years and have never been disappointed. She is wonderful at telling you where you should go and what you should skip. I love that the places she’s recommends always have staff members who believe in providing exceptional service. I highly recommend Julia to friends and family.

Julia did an amazing job, as always, with fast and clear communication. She handled a couple changes to our reservation and made sure we got the best deals with the hotel.

Julia was wonderful. We wanted a special trip through Quebec after dropping off our daughter at college and she suggested Manoir Hovey. It was beautifully located and a very special hotel. I would recommend Julia to anyone looking to find a hidden gem like Manoir Hovey.
