Based in World
As a travel advisor, I specialize in curating personalized journeys that blend luxury with authentic local experiences. My approach is to craft itineraries that balance indulgence with exploration, ensuring each trip is both memorable and enriching. I have a particular affinity for Southern Europe, especially France, where my half-French heritage allows me to offer insider insights into the culture, cuisine, and hidden gems of the region. Whether it's a weekend getaway or an extended stay, I strive to uncover the unique aspects of each destination, steering clear of typical tourist paths to provide a more intimate and authentic experience. One of my favorite destinations is El Gouna, Egypt, often referred to as the "Hamptons of the Red Sea." Over the past 30 years, El Gouna has transformed into a year-round haven for those seeking a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Its pristine beaches, vibrant marine life, and upscale amenities make it an ideal spot for relaxation and adventure alike. In terms of accommodations, I have a curated list of properties that offer exceptional service and unique experiences. For instance, Maison de la Luz in New Orleans exudes refined Southern hospitality, providing a romantic and intimate setting for travelers. The Lumiares Hotel and Spa in Lisbon is a tribute to Portugal's arts and crafts, offering a luxurious stay that immerses guests in the country's rich cultural heritage. Hotel Albergo Relais & Chateaux in Beirut serves as an urban sanctuary, featuring a rooftop pool and landscaped terraces that offer a serene escape in the heart of the city. My clients often commend my attention to detail and commitment to enhancing their travel experiences. For example, Meredith B. shared, "Julia did an amazing job, as always, with fast and clear communication. She handled a couple of changes to our reservation and made sure we got the best deals with the hotel." Similarly, Kelly B. noted, "Julia, our Fora advisor, is a true honeymoon hero! In just one month, she crafted the perfect itinerary for our dream getaway to Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Bangkok." Whether you're seeking a luxurious retreat, an adventurous exploration, or a blend of both, I am dedicated to designing a travel experience that aligns with your desires and exceeds your expectations. Let's embark on a journey that combines the best of indulgence and discovery, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
