About me...

Hello! I'm Julie, the owner of Go Away Travel, an avid traveler and cultural enthusiast. I've had the privilege of calling England home for a couple of years. My family and I loved exploring the tapestry of Europe that took us through the charming countryside of the UK, the sun-drenched piazzas of Italy, and the historic streets of Germany at Christmastime. We explored ancient ruins in Rome and Athens and skied the Alps in Austria. We have climbed the Eiffel Tower and were blessed to have walked where Jesus walked in Jerusalem and Tibereas.

My time in England wasn't just about residing in a foreign country; it was about immersing myself in a rich culture and creating unforgettable memories. One such memory stands out above all others:

It was during Royal Ascot week in 2017, a quintessentially British event steeped in tradition and pageantry. As the day's races concluded, I walked to the end of my lane on High Street, accompanied only by my goofy dog, Bogo. We stood alone in anticipation as Her Majesty The Queen would drive past on her way back to Windsor Castle, after the day's festivities.

As the Bentley neared, it slowed to a crawl. To my delight, the Queen sat up, her face lit up by one of her famous smiles, and she waved directly at us. At US! While I'm certain it was Bogo who caught her eye, the moment felt magical and personal.

My adventures across Europe have shaped my worldview, enriched my understanding of diverse cultures, and fueled my passion for exploration. Whether it's savoring pasta in a hidden Roman trattoria, exploring castles and cathedrals, or simply enjoying a quiet moment, I've learned that every journey offers a unique story.

Where will your next journey take you? What unique story will unfold with your adventures? Let me help you make memories wherever life takes you on your next adventure.

Meet Me!

Slide 1 of 6

We had an incredible experience with GoAwayTravel! Our requirements were easily met and we were blown away! From the planning to the traveling, top notch services and would 100% recommend to everyone!

- ~Emmett & Tori (Dominican Republic)

Thanks to Julie I had the best time in Crete! She helped plan our stay from start to finish, along as booking the most exciting activities on the island. Each day was full of fun and it would not have been as smooth sailing without her help.

- ~Cassie (Crete)

We booked our post-graduation trip to Greece through Julie and had the most fantastic time. Julie was able to book us at a beautiful resort in Crete where we enjoyed stunning views and luxurious living! Julie arranged a rental car which made traveling around the island much easier. We were absolutely blown away by our excursions - a 4-hour ATV ride through the mountains with incredible views! We also explored a pink sand beach, got to hold lemurs, enoyed a sunset catamaran cruise and snorkeling in the Mediterranean. This trip was an absolute dream and went so smoothly, it made the experience even more enjoyable! We loved our vacation and I know I will continue using Julie's service for all my future trips!

- Tegan (Crete)

WOW dream come true!!! 5-STARS I had the most amazing time in the tropical paradise of the Dominican Republic. I went parasailing, toured a coffee and cocoa farm, fed squirrel monkeys, relaxed on the beach, and I even came back ENGAGED!!!! I highly recommend having Julie plan your next vacation so you can spend more time relaxing, exploring, and making memories with your loved ones. Thanks Julie with Go Away Travel!!!

Sicily (Dominican Republic)

We are back from our vacation and cannot thank you enough for your suggested side-trips. The guided tour of Vienna was very historical and architectural. We learned a lot of history at the Skip the Line Schonnbreun Palace tour. The Sound of Music Tour was a little hoky but we had a great visit and pictures in the countryside of Austria from Salzburg. Our guide in Innsbruck was fabulous and gave us a full history of Swarovski Crystal. The Neuswanstein castle tour was fantastic. All the train connections went smooth, and flights were fantastic. Can’t say more about the variety of markets that we visited and sights we encountered. We can’t thank you enough for your suggestions and will definitely be in touch next time we plan a tour to Europe.
