Fueled with a passion for travel and talent for building deep personal and meaningful connections, owner Julie Sudderth brings an infectious enthusiasm and professionalism to designing your perfect getaway!
After earning her degree in Mass Communications from Boston University and spending nearly 20 years in the marketing and communications fields, Julie combines her professional skills with her true love for travel. She believes in the philosophy that every travel experience should be as unique as each traveler, and that every adventure should provide unparalleled opportunities and vivid memories that bring you closer to the people and places that you yearn to connect with.
Julie takes your vision and utilizes her creativity, curiosity, and professionalism to carefully craft an exceptional experience unique to you and your loved ones. Through her extensive networks of partners and suppliers, and through her own personal experience, Julie guides you through the design process to create getaways that leave an indelible imprint on your soul.
Raised in New England, spent her summers lobstering on her dad’s boat and her winters trying her best not to slip down the icy ski slopes of the White Mountains. She came from a family that shared a passion for curiosity and believes that travel and exploration enrich lives – a philosophy that Julie shares today with her husband Paul and their two children, Sam and Sofia.
Today, Julie and her family live in Dallas, TX and take every opportunity they can to travel. When she’s not traveling or planning travel for her clients, Julie enjoys spending time with her family and their mini-golden retriever. She also loves playing outside at their ranch (or anywhere!), cooking healthy food and drinking wine (it’s all about balance!) painting and practicing a combination of workouts from yoga to kickboxing!
