Julie Durso

I am one of the lucky few to have started working the travel industry at the start of my career. I love adventure and got my start as a guide, leading luxury hiking and cycling journeys all over Italy and the rest of the world.

When I travel, I try to find a balance of the bucket‑list must‑sees with hidden gems. I'll take some weather to avoid the crowds anytime. I love traveling with all my senses - weather it's feeling the wind in my face from the deck of a boat on the Adriatic Sea, soaking my feet deep in hot Thai sand, waking to the sound of ancient bells ringing in Italy, or eating whatever the locals eat in Japan!
