Transforming Travel for Discerning Professionals & Adventure SeekerS

Travel is my essence, exploration my passion. From my earliest adventures to founding MPE, I've dedicated my life to discovering extraordinary destinations and crafting transformative experiences.

My journey through international film publicity and luxury event planning cultivated the expertise I now bring to bespoke travel design. I leverage decades of global relationships and logistical mastery to create journeys that transcend traditional luxury travel.

At MPE, I combine this experience with my passion for cultural immersion and off-the-beaten-path discovery. Each journey I design aims to strengthen connections—whether corporate teams, private clients, or sophisticated travelers seeking meaning through exploration.

My commitment remains steadfast: transforming travel aspirations into masterfully curated experiences that cultivate lasting relationships and elevate businesses through extraordinary destinations.

Julie Kick’s passion for travel began with a life-changing trip to Europe as a college exchange student. She lived in Berlin from 1989 to 1991 and was at Checkpoint Charlie the night the Berlin Wall opened—a moment that solidified her love for exploring the world. Now specializing in bespoke European travel, Julie works closely with clients to craft unforgettable journeys, believing that international travel fosters personal growth and a profound global perspective.

Known as “The Virtual Rockstar,” Julie is also a certified business coach (International Coach Federation), podcast producer, business consultant, keynote speaker, and accomplished author of Weathering the Grief Storm, which chronicles her journey through the loss of her husband to cancer. Since 2009, she has helped direct sellers and entrepreneurs master systems to maximize productivity while maintaining healthy work/life harmony.

Michele brings over two decades of expertise in global strategic meetings management, with a career spanning both corporate and agency roles. She has held senior in-house positions at Fidelity Investments, State Street, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and managed major financial and pharmaceutical accounts on the agency side. Her nonprofit experience includes event work for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Known for her ability to balance high-level strategy with flawless execution, Michele has produced everything from executive board retreats and sales meetings to complex conferences and incentive programs. Her collaborative approach and calm, solutions-oriented mindset make her a trusted partner in delivering impactful experiences.

Based in the Greater Boston area, Michele enjoys golfing, riding her Peloton, and spending time with her two daughters and their spirited golden retriever.

My transformative year as an exchange student in Australia ignited a lifelong pursuit of extraordinary travel experiences. That pivotal moment redirected my path from medicine to a deeper calling—crafting journeys that inspire personal transformation.

Each destination I explore fuels my expertise in multi-generational travel design. From sharing adventures with my teenage sons to reconnecting with my husband through global exploration, I understand firsthand how travel strengthens bonds and creates lasting memories.

When not curating experiences for our discerning clients, I balance managing our historic guest house on our 600-acre family farm with planning my next global adventure. My passion lies in helping others discover the transformative power of travel, just as it transformed my own life's journey.
