Luxury Travel Advisor & Owner
Inspire World Travel
Hi! I work with savvy travelers who want more than a vacation—they want experiences they’ll never forget. Whether it’s cycling in Vietnam, a safari in Botswana, or a restorative tropical escape, I design trips that reflect what matters most to you.
Clients say I listen: I translate your priorities into seamless itineraries, backed by firsthand knowledge from 65+ countries and fluency in French and Spanish.
Before founding Inspire World Travel in 2016, I managed complex international logistics in global health—experience that taught me how to keep even intricate travel plans running smoothly. As a Virtuoso advisor, I provide insider access, VIP perks, and meaningful ways to explore the world.

Travel has shaped my life. After a lifetime of worldwide travel and years managing international logistics in the global health field—coordinating VIP delegations, navigating complex itineraries, and ensuring trips ran smoothly under pressure—I realized I wanted to bring that same level of care and detail to personal travel. In 2016, I founded Inspire World Travel to design trips that go beyond “just a vacation.”
The best trips are personal. My role is is to listen first: I take the time to understand what matters most to you, then I create an itinerary that feels seamless, surprising, and meaningful.
What clients value most:
Planning travel can be overwhelming, especially when you want more than an off-the-shelf experience. I simplify the process, advocate for you if anything comes up, and ensure every detail is handled so you can simply enjoy.
As a Virtuoso advisor, I bring:
When should I reach out?
The earlier the better—9–12 months ahead for peak season or complex trips, 3–6 months for most travel.
Do you charge planning fees?
Yes; the amount depends on trip complexity. For Virtuoso hotel-only bookings, there is no fee.
What types of clients do you work with?
Sophisticated, curious travelers who value thoughtful planning, meaningful experiences, and concierge-style support.

Family Travel
Epic and unforgettable! We so enjoyed our safaris and the whole experience. My kids were overjoyed, and it was so fun to be able to experience it through their eyes. It was all just epic and completely unforgettable. Julia put together a wonderful trip that we will never top.
We have always wanted to travel to Asia and met with Julia to determine the best place to go given the time of year we could travel. Her expert knowledge led us to choose Indonesia with a beginning stop in Singapore. Julia listened to our preferences in travel, especially our desire to be active, experience authentic cultural exchange and stay in beautiful locations. She was able to create experiences that catered to us and our 13 year old son that were a perfect fit for our family. We look forward to working with Julia again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a unique and meaningful travel experience.
Best trip ever. We’ve seen an incredible amount of wildlife—whales, penguins, seals, and birds everywhere. One of the most amazing moments: as we were getting out of the zodiac and into our kayaks in the middle of the ocean, a whale swam right under us. And beyond the wildlife, the people on this trip have been just as amazing. Great job, Julia!
I’m still buzzing from our incredible family adventure in Ecuador! This was actually the fourth trip Julia has organized for me, and once again, she knocked it out of the park! From the moment we landed to the day we (reluctantly) headed home, everything was absolutely perfect. Julia’s expertise in family travel truly shines. I can’t tell you how amazing it was to just relax and soak in every moment with my boys without worrying about logistics or planning. Julia had everything covered! This vacation wasn’t just fun – it was one of those magical experiences that brings a family closer together. We’re already reminiscing about our favorite moments and laughing at inside jokes from our adventures. I rave about Julia to all my friends because, honestly, she’s just that good. If you’re dreaming of a family getaway that’ll leave you with a heart full of memories and a camera roll full of smiles, Julia’s your go-to gal. Trust me, your future self will thank you!
Julia Slatcher was amazing – she planned a terrific itinerary with many special touches, and our trip was perfect for our family of four with a 10 and 12 year old. Julia was very responsive, and when we had a health issue she was able to make some key changes quickly. I have already contacted her about our next trip!
Lifelong memories! We had a truly lovely vacation and were so pleased with the entire experience. All of the hotels were exceptional and exceeded our expectations. We sincerely appreciate all that Julia did to ensure that our family had such an amazing trip and lifelong memories.
My safari in Botswana touched me so deeply I even applied for jobs at safari camps afterward. The elephants, cheetahs, and gazelles are unforgettable, but it’s also the way local cultures have lived in harmony with the land that stays with you. Safari lodges and guides here are leaders in sustainable tourism, and clients are often surprised by the variety of ecosystems—from the delta to the desert. It’s easy to combine with Victoria Falls or a stop in Cape Town.
I was lucky to live with my family in Switzerland for a year, and I love sharing its magic with clients: picture alpine hikes, hot tubs overlooking Lake Lucerne, or a cozy fondue made with cheese from the cow in the barn down the road. If you’re really fortunate, you might witness the Désalpe—the annual descent of cows from summer pastures, decked in flower crowns and led by farmers in traditional dress. It’s a country full of charm, beauty, and moments you’ll never forget.
Patagonia’s mystical landscapes feel otherworldly and are unforgettable. I traveled there with my family and gained invaluable firsthand knowledge of this captivating yet logistically tricky region. It’s ideal for active, adventurous travelers, but there are gentler ways to experience it as well. Patagonia pairs beautifully with city breaks, a visit to famed wine regions, the Atacama Desert, or Iguazú Falls, making it very customizable.
Some of my favorite trips to plan are to places still on my own Wanderlist. I’m constantly studying new destinations through webinars, industry partners, and client research—and every time I design a trip, I uncover fresh insights. My clients benefit from the curiosity and thoroughness I bring, and I benefit from reshuffling my own list of must-see places around the world.
Julia is easy to work with! She’s helpful with so many aspects of your trip and travel! We’ve worked together on big trips and smaller ones too! It’s always nice to have Julia’s help! She thinks of everything!
Incredible family trip to 5 European countries. Julia was instrumental in the success of our European trip to Iceland, Italy, Slovenia, Austria, and Germany. It wasn’t an easy itinerary to create, so I loved handing over the reins to Inspire World Travel. Julia helped arrange local hotels all within walking distance of historic downtowns, arranged transport via train, bus, or private car, and helped us figure out what activities to do in each locale. Additionally, she was full of helpful hints such as heading straight to the thermal baths in Iceland upon arriving off a red-eye flight, and getting on one of the first tours at Vintgar Gorge in Slovenia to avoid crowds. Highly recommend Julia and Inspire World Travel–we will definitely use her again! Our trip was epic!
My family had a fantastic trip to Portugal this summer thanks to the planning by Inspire World Travel! I would highly recommend Julia for any trip planning as she has so much experience and has traveled everywhere. We are a family of four with two teenage kids. We rented a car and traveled to Lisbon, Porto, Douro Valley, Alentejo region and the Algarve. The trip was 2 weeks. We stayed in such a great variety of accommodations found by Julia. Lodging consisted of: furnished apartments, a family owned farmhouse, a 17th century convent, and a hotel. Every single one was spot on. We loved every place we stayed. The pacing of the trip was perfect. Not rushed at all, but we felt like we saw so much. Thanks for all the fantastic help! Our family will treasure our time together in Portugal.
