Turning your travel dreams into unforgettable experiences

Hello, I’m Julie Torrance your Designer Travel Expert based in Barrow-in-Furness, right on the edge of the beautiful Lake District.

Travel has been at the heart of my life for more than 30 years. During that time, I’ve worked across many areas of the travel industry — from retail and airline to overseas operations — and have been incredibly fortunate to live and work in destinations all over the world. I spent 20 wonderful years based in Greece, working across the Greek Islands, which gave me a wealth of first-hand destination knowledge, experience and some very special memories along the way.

For me, though, travel has always been about much more than simply booking a holiday. It’s about people, experiences and creating memories that stay with you for a life time.

That’s why customer service is at the heart of everything I do. I take the time to really get to know you — what you love, what matters to you, how you like to travel and, most importantly, how you want your holiday to make you feel.

Whether you’re dreaming of a luxurious escape, an unforgettable family adventure, a romantic getaway, an authentic cultural experience or something completely tailor-made, I’ll use my knowledge, experience and trusted industry partners and relationships to create a trip that feels truly personal and special to you.

And because planning the perfect holiday should be exciting, not stressful, I’ll take care of the research, details and arrangements, leaving you free to simply look forward to your adventure. From our first conversation to the moment you return home, you’ll have someone you know and trust looking after you.

So, tell me where you’ve always dreamed of going — or simply tell me how you’d like to feel when you get there — and let me help turn that dream into your perfect escape.

“Your holidays. Your dreams. My expertise.”
