About

Julie Elliott is an independent travel advisor based between British Columbia and Ontario, Canada, specializing in adventure-meets-luxury travel to Playa del Carmen, British Columbia, Alaska, and Mallorca. With three years of experience and approximately 25 trips planned, Julie designs immersive journeys for discerning travelers who crave authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences by day and five-star comfort by night — what she calls the best of both worlds.

Julie's destination expertise runs deep and personal. She spends extended periods — weeks to three months at a time — in Mallorca, where her daughter lives, giving her an insider's perspective few advisors can match. She is equally at home in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, where she returns frequently, and across British Columbia, whose diverse landscapes she has explored extensively. Her knowledge of Alaska rounds out a portfolio of destinations rooted in real lived experience, not just FAM trips. Across all of them, her signature approach blends cultural immersion and adventure with the luxury of a beautifully curated place to come back to.

Julie's path to travel advising began through her work career, which took her around the world and brought her into contact with inspiring travel advisors who shared their stories, experiences, and the joy of helping clients explore the world. A background in marketing and Facebook advertising — from her years at a technology company — gives her a distinct edge in building her business and connecting with the right clients. She made the leap into travel advising because, as she puts it, "why not create your life doing the things you love?"

Julie's ideal client mirrors her own travel style: adventurous at heart, culturally curious, and with the budget to experience both the thrill of discovery and the indulgence of five-star hospitality. Having personally visited at least 10 countries, she brings firsthand perspective and genuine passion to every itinerary she crafts — whether that's a history-rich touring journey through Europe or a sun-soaked escape to the Mediterranean coast of Mallorca.
