About

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.

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!

Julie's reviews

Very happy with our dining experiences and pink jeep tour. Hotel was in a perfect location, Breakfast and dinner at the hotel was delicious!!! Excellent service!

Julie, is incredibly responsive and asks all the right questions to make sure the experience is on target AND exceeds expectations. We had just done the Rota Vincentina, Fisherman's walk/hike so we really wanted something upscale after "roughing it" for a week. She hit the nail on the head.

Julie made it so easy to book and plan our trip! She is so knowledgeable about the Cancun/Riviera Maya area and gave us several great hotel options to choose from. We settled on the Andaz Mayakoba, and Julie made sure we were treated like royalty from the moment we drove onto the property. A room upgrade, last minute sought-after restaurant bookings, and a delicious daily breakfast were just a few of the perks we received as a result of booking with Julie. She truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. We will never book or plan another vacations using anyone but Julie!

Julie Middlebrook is AMAZING!! She met with my husband and I virtually to inquire about our vision for our honeymoon and tailored the trip perfectly! She scheduled our itinerary to create days of fun with periods of relaxation. She also knows her FOOD!! We will definitely be using her for our next adventures.
