Hi! I’m Julie - Founder of Influenced Travel | Travel Marketing Strategist | Single Mama by Choice
I help travel brands and content creators turn attention into bookings — by building trust-first communities that convert.
I’ve worked in nearly every corner of the travel industry over the last 30 years: as a travel agent, agency owner, blogger, group travel leader, and digital strategist. But most importantly, I’ve helped shape a new way of marketing travel — one that actually converts.
I’m also a single parent by choice to three amazing kids (including twins!), and I’m building a life where we explore the world together — with purpose, joy, and adventure.
Why I Created Influenced Travel
After helping lead one of Canada’s largest family travel communities — where a simple Facebook post connecting our followers to our agents led to over $2.8 million in travel bookings — I saw the power of community first-hand.
But here’s the truth:
The sales were real.
The system was missing.
Travel agents don’t have time to be marketers.
Content creators inspire but often can’t monetize.
And brands want results — not just reach.
So I created Influenced Travel — and built the Flywheel that makes it all work.
Now, I help content creators, brands and travel businesses create communities that don’t just talk about travel — they book it.
How the Flywheel Works
It’s simple — and powerful:
We build a community.
Real people, real conversations, real energy.We show up with content that connects.
Not just pretty photos — posts that spark action.We make it easy to book.
Whether it’s a link, a form, or a curated advisor — we close the loop.
