Hi, I’m Julie, a Luxury Cultural Travel Specialist with a passion for creating meaningful, personalized journeys that go far beyond checking destinations off a bucket list. I believe travel has the power to transform us by connecting us with new cultures, people, traditions, and experiences that stay with us long after we return home.

No two vacations should ever look the same because no two travelers are the same.

A Global Perspective

Originally from Venezuela and married to an Angolan, my own life is rooted in a rich blend of cultures. That global perspective inspires every itinerary I create.

My travels throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and Europe have given me a deep appreciation for authentic experiences, and I love designing trips that allow my clients to truly connect with the heart and soul of a destination.

Designing Journeys That Fit You

Whether I’m planning a luxury European getaway, an African adventure, a multi-generational family vacation, a romantic escape, or a culturally immersive itinerary, I take the time to understand what makes each traveler unique.

I believe no two vacations should ever look the same because no two travelers are the same.

Wellness Is Part of the Journey

Wellness and fitness are also a huge part of my life. As a certified Zumba instructor and lifelong fitness enthusiast, I’ve combined my passion for movement and travel by creating and hosting wellness retreats for fitness professionals, as well as retreats designed for anyone looking to reconnect, recharge, and explore the world through a wellness-focused lens.

I understand how transformative these experiences can be and love helping clients create journeys that nurture both body and mind.

Now Booking: Stepology at Sea

I’m serving as the lead travel advisor handling every booking for this sailing — stateroom selection, deposits, payment schedules, and roommate matching. It’s a step-aerobics wellness sailing built by Stepology founder TéQuan Johnson.

If a high-energy retreat at sea sounds like your kind of wellness travel, reach out and I’ll walk you through it.

Travel as a Mother

As a mom of three, I’ve also experienced firsthand the joy, challenges, and unforgettable memories that come with traveling as a family. Exploring the world with my husband and children has taught me how important thoughtful planning is, and I bring that same level of care and attention to every itinerary I create for my clients.

Let’s Plan Your Trip

What truly excites me is getting to know my clients and turning their travel dreams into experiences that reflect who they are. From finding extraordinary hotels and unique local experiences to handling every detail behind the scenes, my goal is to make the planning process seamless so you can focus on making memories.

I’m proud to be part of Dorian Destinations, and I look forward to helping you discover the world with curiosity, authenticity, and a sense of wonder. Whether you’re planning your next luxury vacation, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, a family getaway, or a transformative wellness retreat, I’m here to help you create an unforgettable journey.
