Wondering how to jump straight into the intricacies of a new culture? Julie says there’s nothing like a cooking class to help you immerse yourself in local wisdom.

“While in Barcelona I took part in an amazing class in a quaint little cooking school in a small, back streets restaurant. The chef taught us about the significance of tapas and how to make proper sangria and paella. Of course the best part is getting to eat all your accomplishments!”

With a vast collection of travel experience, Julie can offer some valuable tips. She knows where to find the best snorkelling on Gilli Trawangan, a small island off the coast of Lombok. Julie can also tell you what it’s like to do a homestay in Cambodia, explore the winding alleyways of Tokyo and attend the Rainforest World Music Festival in Sarawak, Borneo.

For Julie, the experience that tops off all these incredible moments was the time she organised a wedding cruise for clients.

“The bride and groom didn’t want a wedding, and they booked a cruise ship ceremony thinking that only a small group could make it. It turned into a huge event, with nearly 30 cabins booked and over 80 guests attending. I also had the pleasure of organising the party’s flights, cruise extras and a few little treats for the bride and groom. To be part of this special trip was one of the most satisfying experiences of my career.”

It is Julie’s pleasure and privilege to send clients on a dream holiday or help them fulfil a bucket list wish. The part she enjoys the most, though, is hearing all about their trip when they return, which puts a smile on their face as well as her own.

What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?

I arranged a most amazing experience for clients going to Europe.  As they had a very short time and wanted to do everything I organised everything from flights, transfers to hotels to activities to for fill all their wants, even restaurants reservations. I chatted with them whilst they were on their trip to recommend further musts as located them centrally to be able to do this also. This made everything less stressful and not have to think to be able enjoy their time in each destination.  When they returned I called them and they cried with joy. 

How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

I go above and beyond most importantly to be available anytime whilst my clients are away just to confirm even the simplest questions rather than they waste their valuable holiday time trying to find the answers which can be daunting in countries because of language barriers.

What is your number one travel tip?

Just enjoy and relax on your much-awaited holiday - because the essence of travel isn’t just about ticking off sights, but about taking a meaningful break from the everyday. Let go of the pressure to overplan or see everything! Some of the most memorable moments come from spontaneity, unhurried exploration, and simply soaking in the atmosphere.

What are your favourite destinations to visit and why?

My favourite destination is Indonesia as it has all the offerings of food, culture, beaches, shopping, relaxion and luxury and it is only a short distance away for all of the above.

Julie's client testimonial

I cannot recommend Julie enough. She successfully managed to organise 72 guests to all come on our wedding cruise. This was by no means an easy job - not only co-ordinating Royal Caribbean but everything in between. You are my hero Julie. It was the trip of a lifetime, and all smooth sailing, thanks to you.
