About

Sun-seeker whose passion is to explore the world and all its beauty, while staying in the finest luxury and lifestyle hotels and resorts.

Travel style

As an event planner, I've had the pleasure of traveling to some amazing destinations around the world and have stayed at some of the finest properties. My work travel is very structured with a strict hour-by-hour agenda. When I travel personally, I gravitate towards a more free flowing agenda, where I have options but not set plans. I call it the “No Plan Plan”. I like to have ideas of things to do and see but not have it all prearranged so I have to be on a schedule.

Julie provided A+ support in finding the perfect accommodation for our family - providing options before settling on the Dewberry. She facilitated all the details and ensured we had an amazing room. Would recommend to anyone going literally anywhere to tap Julie!

If there were 10 stars, we would give Julie 11. She truly was amazing! Julie really made what felt like an overwhelming planning experience, much more easy. She helped us every step of the way & we really feel like it wouldn't have turned out so great without her. She was so quick with everything! suggestions, responding to my emails, setting up our days & transportations, all of it!!! I really trusted her input & she was spot on with so many things. Shall we book another trip in the future, I couldn't imagine doing it without her! Thank you so much for all your hard work Julie. We could not have planned a better trip without your help & because of it we have memories to last a lifetime celebrating our anniversary. 11/10
