I’m Julie Ilbrink, the founder of The Curious Turtle Travel Advisors, LLC. During my career as an executive assistant, I’ve arranged travel, coordinated large conferences, and ensured executives’ needs were met. I’ve also planned memorable family vacations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, delighting in my children’s excitement. I realized I have a passion for planning travel and creating unforgettable experiences. Thus, The Curious Turtle Travel Advisors was born. If any destination has ever piqued your curiosity, I hope to connect with you to turn that curiosity into a reality!

Happy Travels,
Julie Ilbrink, Founder and Owner
