Somewhat ironically, given she married into a family that travels A LOT, Julie finds travel to be a little unsettling. Having said that, she's been extremely fortunate to have seen some incredible places over the years with Dennis and their two sons Austin and Jamie and she looks forward to seeing many more. Upcoming plans include Athens, Istanbul, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan which will add to her country count (although, unlike her husband and brother-in-law, she's never actually added them up).

She has travelled to India numerous times and mostly to the same spot in the north of the country as part of her heart resides there. Julie would love to spend more time in Scotland walking in the rain. Julie practices yoga each day and attempts at meditation keep her grounded and happy, oh and her 2 dogs, Marshall and Mallee.
