Julia Shore – Luxury Travel Specialist & Cultural Explorer

With over 30 years of experience in luxury travel, I curate bespoke journeys for discerning travelers seeking immersive, meaningful experiences. Having explored more than 130 countries, each one leaving its mark, I bring firsthand expertise, cultural insight, and meticulous attention to every itinerary I design.

 

As a South Africa specialist and a Condé Nast Top Travel Specialist for Croatia and Morocco, I offer exclusive access and deeply rooted local knowledge. My time in India included six transformative months immersed in culture, spirituality, and daily life, an experience that continues to shape how I view travel. I’ve also extensively explored Turkey, following the biblical route and uncovering the country’s layered history, from ancient civilizations to the crossroads of East and West.

 

As a cultural explorer, I seek out the extraordinary, hidden gems, authentic experiences, and timeless traditions that go beyond the expected. Whether it’s designing a private heritage journey through Morocco, crafting an exclusive safari in South Africa, or curating a restorative adventure through India, I ensure each itinerary reflects your passions and purpose.

 

Specialties include:

• Bespoke Private Journeys – Tailor-made experiences built around your interests.

• Luxury Small-Group Tours – Intimate itineraries designed with local expertise.

• Solo Travel Experiences – Personalized adventures for independent travelers.

• Safari & Wildlife Expeditions – Exclusive encounters across Africa’s wildest landscapes.

• Cultural Immersion & Heritage Travel – Deep explorations into history, gastronomy, and tradition.

 

My approach to travel is deeply personal. I only sell what I have personally experienced. Every trip is crafted with care, authenticity, and a level of detail that ensures a seamless, enriching journey.

 

As the owner and president of Reid Travel, an affiliate of the Signature Travel Network, I now work remotely from my home in Croatia, collaborating with clients and partners around the world. After decades of exploration, I’ve discovered that living abroad brings both perspective and peace, a reminder that travel isn’t only about where we go, but about what we bring back within us.
