Travel obsessed is probably an understatement......

Hi, I’m Julie and if there’s one thing you’ll quickly discover about me, it’s that I’m a little bit obsessed with travel.

I love discovering new destinations, finding beautiful hotels, putting together great itineraries and most of all, helping clients find a holiday that feels like it was made just for them. Two years into running my own travel business with Travel Counsellors, I still get genuinely excited every time I start planning a new trip.

I’ve had the pleasure of helping hundreds of clients plan everything from family holidays and relaxing escapes to luxury getaways, cruises, honeymoons and those really special trips you’ve been dreaming about for years.

For me, it’s about much more than simply finding you a holiday. I take the time to get to know you, understand what you want from your time away and use my knowledge, experience and access to trusted travel partners to find the right options for you. I’m also not afraid to give an honest opinion, because sometimes knowing what isn’t right for you is just as important as knowing what is.

When you book with me, you have one person looking after your holiday from start to finish. I’ll take care of the details, keep everything organised and be there when you need me, with the reassurance of Travel Counsellors’ financial protection and 24/7 support behind me.

The best part of my job is seeing the photos, hearing the stories and knowing I’ve helped create memories that last long after the suitcase has been unpacked.

So, if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, loves travel, knows her stuff and will take the time to make your holiday personal to you, I’d love to help.

What my customers say

Working with Julie Johnston on my Italy trip to as just incredible. From start to finish Julie has everything planned and organised with such an ease and professionalism. She found the most stunning hotels, arranged every transfer and researched the most incredible places for us to build into our itinerary. I won’t ever book another holiday any other way. Julie is amazing.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. From our very first contact with Julie, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Julie took the time to really understand what we wanted from our holiday and guided us through the options with great knowledge and patience. The whole process of sourcing and booking the holiday was seamless and stress-free. Every step was clearly communicated, and we always felt confident that everything was being taken care of. The holiday itself exceeded our expectations. All the arrangements ran smoothly, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into every detail. It allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the experience without worrying about anything. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this service to anyone looking for a well-organised, memorable holiday. Thank you for making the whole journey—from first enquiry to the trip itself—so enjoyable!

A massive shout out of thanks and appreciation to Julie Johnston Travel Counsellor, our amazing travel counsellor, who arranged a recent trip to Ljubljana in Slovenia. Using a travel counsellor is basically like having an extra sensible person on the trip with you - the one that checks that you have all your boarding passes, the one that checks the flight is on time, the one who basically ensures that you know what you're doing at every hour of the day whilst on the trip, and that you're safe and stress free! Julie is that person! Since we started using travel counsellors to book holidays, we have noticed a huge difference. I am normally a very stressed person, due to being self-employed, & just making it onto the plane and getting away from my desk is an achievement for me. So to know that somebody is there looking after all the important details means the world. She provides so many extras too, such as useful information on things to see and do in your chosen place. It all makes a huge difference, so thank you to Julie who I would recommend to anybody! You have to experience that travel counsellor service, I can't stress this highly enough!

Our recent trip to Siyam World Maldives was absolutely amazing, and a huge part of that was the exceptional support we received before and during our stay. From the very beginning, Julie went above and beyond to help us choose the right island and resort, taking the time to understand what we were looking for and making recommendations that perfectly matched our needs. They also helped make the trip extra special by arranging a birthday cake and beautiful room decorations for my mum's birthday. These thoughtful touches created wonderful memories and made the celebration truly unforgettable. What impressed us most, however, was the support we received when British Airways failed to deliver our suitcases on arrival. Rather than leaving us to spend our holiday chasing updates, Julie supported us the situation, liaising directly with BA to track our luggage and keep us informed on when it would arrive. Her support meant we could focus on enjoying our holiday instead of dealing with the stress and frustration of missing baggage. The level of customer care, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond was outstanding. I genuinely felt looked after from start to finish, and Julie's support ensured that an unfortunate luggage issue didn't overshadow what became a fantastic family holiday. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Siyam World and Julie if you are looking for a great holiday and exception customer service.

Holiday was amazing, Julie Johnston was my travel consultant and she was just fabulous. From initial conversation where she asked questions to ensure she fully understood my requirements to the advice she gave on different options, her attention to detail and organisation and then checking in on me while I was away I just couldn’t fault her. Felt like I had my own personal travel buddy throughout! Great trip will definitely use again

Julie was amazing at pulling together multiple options for our 3-week trip to Australia. Not only did she provide three separate itineraries — all fantastic — but she even included excursions to fit our personalities! Everything was within budget and interchangeable, which made things so much easier for us. Thank you for such a personal and professional service.
