My Process

The process of planning a trip with me starts with a complimentary 15 min. introductory call, Zoom, or in-person meeting at my office.  During that initial call we will discuss the services you desire and my fees.  If you choose to hire me, I will proceed with the discovery phase of learning your travel preferences. 

 

The fees will vary by the type of service provided.  Keep in mind that I assist you before your trip, during your trip, as well as debrief after you have traveled.  By choosing to work with me, you will have access to Virtuoso amenities at the top luxury resorts in the world.  It is difficult to VIP yourself however as my client it will be granted along with other promotions and amenities you could not receive by booking direct.

Excellence as usual

Julie has been planning my adventures for about 4 years now. She and her team are very proffesional and always providing the support needed. She surely knows how to make each vacation special. Julie takes the time to understand what I am looking for in a vacation and willing to learn more about us to make our experiences memorable. Thanks again, Julie.

Paris London Trip

Julie is great to work with and has local knowledge of hotels that makes me confident I'll be staying in a good location at a good hotel. All details were handled before we got there.
