Hi, I’m Julie Johnston, and I craft inspired experiences for travelers and groups seeking exhilarating vacations that envelop you in luxury. Yes, I’ll send you to a picture-perfect paradise—but your destination is so much more than a pretty picture, to be admired from afar.

With my deep destination knowledge, privileged access to top guides, and creative spark, I’ll ensure that your vacation fully immerses you in the landscapes and cultures you visit—with plenty of relaxation mixed in. From stomping grapes at a family-owned Italian vineyard, to feeding giraffes right from the window of your safari lodge—or simply sinking into the most incredible infinity pool with endless views of the horizon—let me show you how amazing “off the beaten path” travel can really be.

If you’re ready to explore like a traveler—and not just a tourist—discover how I can craft your one-of-a-kind inspired itinerary:

"Julie made making reservations a breeze with all her insight into our trip! Julie was very professional in preparing our reservations. She could not have made it easier for us! The trip was wonderful and very relaxing. We
are going on another trip in April! Thanks Julie!"

- Eileen Traficante

"This was a new process for us to work with a travel expert. She made sure we were taken care of every part of our journey to Italy. We had private drivers and English-speaking guides to all the sites we selected. The hotels were quite nice, especially in Sorrento. We asked for a view and we got a fabulous view! Julie made sure we had her contact numbers in case we needed her 24/7 as well as a representative in Italy with whom I did have to opportunity to text."

- Stephanie Hench

"We wanted to see, and experience Disney dressed for Xmas. Julie asked what we could and could not do and then tailored a trip for us with fast pass access to the most popular attractions. We were overwhelmed, but she had a daily outline which covered everything we wanted to do. Thanks so much to Julie!"

- Kay Behmke
