ABOUT
The time is now to explore beyond imagination.
Don’t let another day, month, or year go by without making the travel dreams you’ve been yearning for a reality.
I’m a red head from a family of red heads, and so the family vacations I enjoyed growing up were never of the “lounge by the pool” variety (we’d all burn to a crisp before Day 1 of vacation was even over!).
Instead, we’ve always been a family of vacation do-ers, windsurfing, playing tennis, and snorkeling our way through spectacular landscapes—with an endless supply of sunscreen at the ready!
I still travel that way today—though with a touch more relaxation than my childhood trips! Sometimes it’s sailing out to sea on a Hobie Cat, and sometimes it’s climbing up the turret of a Swiss castle, galloping down the golden sands of a Hawaiian beach on horseback, or starting the day with a meditation at a tea house.
My clients are kindred spirits, vacation “do-ers” just like me. They don’t just want to “see” a destination, they want to live it—and they trust me to craft an immersive itinerary that balances leisure time and takes them far beyond the surface.
Meet Julie Johnston
Your Luxury Travel Advisor
I’m dangerous with a glue gun and LOVE to put together creative costumes.
Speaking of costumes, my husband and I often throw big themed celebrations—we’ve been nicknamed “the King and Queen of Fun”!
Before starting my own travel agency in 2016, I managed vacation rentals for 20+ years, so I’ve been on both sides of the industry.
When I’m not planning travel, you can find me hiking or playing pickleball (you have to try it!).
Still on my bucket list? Santorini, Machu Picchu, Australia … and too many others to name!

Welcome to the (Travel) Celebration
Because, after nearly three decades in the travel industry and 10 years spent living in Key West (celebration capital of the South!)—I’ve learned that what makes a great celebration and what makes a great vacation are one and the same.
The same goes for your vacation! I don’t just book your hotel room or cruise suite; I’m adding in all the details and extra special touches to elevate your escape.
Out-of-the-box activities and excursions, to-die-for restaurant recommendations, the most relaxing spa experience of your life—whatever you’re seeking, I “set the mood” for a personalized vacation that’s immersive, exhilarating, utterly relaxing, and perfectly tailored to you and your group.
I don’t just approach your itinerary as if it were a vacation—I treat it like a celebration.

Think about it: The main course may be lick-your-lips delicious—but the dinner party could still be a bore. Because it’s not just about setting the table, it’s about setting the mood. Making sure all the details, from the cocktails to the music to the guest list, add up to something truly unforgettable.
Whether you’re after a just-for-two escape or a big group getaway, allow me to bring it all together for you—and to fill your itinerary with moments that take your breath away.
