Testimonials
Before I met Julie, I was feeling overwhelmed and anxious about how to plan my trip to Portugal. There is so much information online, and I couldn't figure out what fit my needs; I was spending hours on my own each day trying to figure out what to do and where to go. I wanted insight on how to experience the culture of Portugal, avoid tourist traps, and get around safely. Julie not only helped me with my specific interests, but also shared her personal Portugal experiences.
She set up a Zoom call with me, answered every question I had with ease, and offered suggestions for things I had not thought about such as apps for getting around, where to get groceries, favorite restaurants, books to read, and meetups with locals. Even after our call was over, she continued to email me with suggestions, tips, and reminders (i.e. I almost forgot to book travel insurance, and I am so grateful she reminded me!). After talking with her I felt more focused and at ease. Julie's love for Portuguese culture and life has been apparent in our conversations and it is clear she has a passion for sharing it with others and guiding them towards a meaningful travel experience.

Julie was amazing at helping us plan our Australia trip! Even though my partner and I like to do different things, she made the plans work perfectly for both of us. We're so excited about snorkeling and hiking, and Julie even made sure we're doing it sustainably. Her dedication to sustainability really stood out; she not only prioritized experiences that align with eco-conscious values, but also her attention to detail and the sustainable options she provided really impressed us. Can't wait for our adventure!

Julie helped me plan a fantastic trip to Montreal and Quebec City for me and my
spouse! I started the travel planning on my own but became overwhelmed trying to
choose among the many possibilities. That’s where Julie came in. She went through
my itinerary with me, looking at where we were staying and what I had already planned.
Then, after a discussion about our interests, she came up with options to choose from
based on not only our interests, but what made logistical sense. She also provided
restaurant options in various price ranges for us to consider. It was wonderful to be able
to develop a step-by-step itinerary that also allowed for some flexibility. My only regret
is not seeking Julie’s assistance sooner!
