Every barrier, anticipated
A seamless trip is not luck. It's planning.
Most travel goes wrong in the details nobody checked. I check them — room layouts, transfers, quiet hours, backup plans — and build itineraries that work for travelers with mobility, sensory, and hidden-disability needs.

Your trip, like an itinerary
The same care I put into your travel days goes into the planning itself. Here's the route from "someday" to boarding pass.
First — free, 30 minutes
The conversation
You tell me where you dream of going and how you travel best. No forms, no justifying your needs. I ask the questions others don't think to.
Then — I do the work
The blueprint
I design your itinerary and verify every accessibility detail directly — not from a brochure, but from the source. You review; we refine together.
Before you leave
The walkthrough
You get the full plan in plain language: what's confirmed, what to expect, who to contact, and the backup for every leg.
While you travel
The safety net
I stay reachable. If something isn't as promised, I advocate and fix it — that's the job.
What I verify before you book
"Accessible" on a website means nothing until someone confirms it. A sample of what I check, every trip:
Rooms, measured
Step-free access, door widths, roll-in showers, bed heights — confirmed with the property, not the listing.
Transfers that work
Accessible vehicles actually reserved, not "available on request." Timing padded, never rushed.
Sensory mapping
Quiet rooms, low-stimulation routes, crowd timing, recovery breaks built into every day.
Dining & dietary
Restaurants confirmed for your needs ahead of time — so meals are a pleasure, not a negotiation.
Medical logistics
Equipment, refrigeration, proximity to care, documentation for security — handled in advance.
The backup plan
For every leg, a what-if. You'll have it in writing before you leave home.
Planned by someone who gets it
I'm Julia Houtchings — Certified Autism Travel Professional, accessibility advocate, and a traveler with hidden disabilities myself. The details I verify are the ones I've learned to check the hard way.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to explore the world. My job is making sure the world is ready for you.
Start with the conversation.
Free, 30 minutes, zero pressure. Bring your dream trip and every "but what about…" — that's exactly what I'm for.
