We Are Luxury Travel Advisors
That Don’t Believe In Mediocre Vacations

As Founder and President of Cerulean World Travel, Carrie Wallace brings more than 10 years of deep industry experience to her latest travel venture. Previously president of a boutique luxury travel consultancy, which she built into a nationally recognized authority on honeymoons and special occasion travel, she has also worked extensively with upscale adventure travelers, foodies, culture seekers, safari aficionados, young families, multigenerational groups, and corporate retreats, among others.

Between her work in travel and her prior role as a Management Consultant, Carrie has lived in both Singapore and France, which has fueled her passion for the discovery of new and far-flung experiences. Having explored more than 70 countries and territories, she brings this passion and her worldwide network of luxury and experiential travel contacts to Cerulean and its clients.

Carrie is a frequent expert contributor to a variety of travel magazines and newspapers and sits on Cigar Aficionado’s panel of Travel Industry Experts. She has been named one of Travel Agent Magazine’s Top 25 Agents, and has been nominated as one of the Virtuoso Travel Network’s “Most Innovative Advisors”. Her favorite regions in which to travel are Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. When not scouting the globe for amazing destinations and experiences for Cerulean’s clients, Carrie enjoys running, hiking, wine, vegetarian cooking, and studying a foreign language. She’s fluent in Spanish and French, and is currently pondering what to take up next!

Kevin has been an avid traveler since he was a child, gaining early exposure after being whisked away on his first plane ride at four months old. This set the foundation for a continuous desire to explore the world. Subsequent travel experiences throughout his life, including a study-abroad program in Rome, convinced him that the travel industry was where he should make his home.

Kevin joins Cerulean after over a decade of experience with a high-end boutique agency in Chicago, focusing on luxury honeymoons (and other special occasion travel) all over the world. During this time he was also named one of Travel Agent Magazine’s Top 30 under 30 Agents. He is now excited to be part of the Cerulean team of first-class travel advisors as well as leading Cerulean’s Protégé Program expansion. Some of his favorite travel experiences have been safaris in South Africa with family and friends, exploring Luxury Lodges of New Zealand and Australia, and private island hopping in the Seychelles. Aside from traveling the globe, Kevin enjoys discovering new restaurants (he is our resident Foodie!), wine bars, concerts, keeping up his French language skills, and spending time with his Pomeranian, Noah.

While Jordan cannot pinpoint exactly when the world of travel stole his heart, he does know that ever since graduating college in 2009, friends, family, and the like tend to question why he has a permanent address. He was also lucky enough to marry a woman who is just as passionate about exploring everything the world has to offer by his side...

Adventurous outdoor activities of all seasons get his adrenaline pumping, which is why he is happy to bundle up and shovel out of those cold New England winters. Skiing, hiking, kayaking, climbing, swimming, biking, beaching, SUP-ing…you name it! Nothing is better than breathing in some fresh air and breaking a sweat, knowing that you’ve earned your evening indulgence. An intimate 9-course tasting menu executed by a local chef? Après ski cocktails with an unforgettable view? Sign him up! When he’s not traveling or planning a trip you’ll probably find him on the back deck grilling up a storm (local craft beer in hand) or at the hockey rink, keeping his competitive spirit alive. As an engineer by the books, he loves digging into the details. Handcrafting the perfectly balanced itinerary for his clients so that they can spend more time enjoying their experiences tailored to their passions for travel and less time worrying about the details…that’s what really gets his gears cranking!

Engaging the entire family in the travel experience makes for a wonderful, fun, and relaxing holiday. Each family is unique and Julie’s top priority is to ensure that her clients receive the personalized vacation that is so well deserved…

Julie’s passion for travel started many years ago while exploring the wonders of Italy. She enjoys experiencing new places and finding something extra that is off the beaten path. In recent years, her travel adventures have continued with her children. One of her best travel memories is exploring Buenos Aires and participating in a street tango lesson as a family. She is also an expert in all things Disney. As an Educator and avid family traveler for many years, she has a connection with people that allows her to understand the specific needs of her clients. She pays close attention to important details and unique options that help make for a fabulous vacation. Nothing should slow down a great holiday! When not planning exciting travel experiences for clients, she can be found kayaking, golfing, volunteering, or cooking fresh California cuisine. She feels lucky to be married to a wonderful man that shares her affinity for travel that they have collectively passed down to their children. Julie resides in the San Francisco Bay area with her family and Corgi, Calvin.

It was not until Amy took her first trip abroad to study in Italy that she truly caught the travel bug. And then there was no stopping her from there.

Every year Amy and her mother embark on a horseback riding adventure, which has taken them to places all across Europe, South America and the remote regions of Africa, including most recently a visit to Uganda and the gorillas. Prior to graduating college, she did competitive show jumping in California and throughout the East coast.

Amy joins Cerulean with over a decade of concierge and hospitality experience, including working at five-star hotels, big name tech companies and luxury residential properties.

While not out exploring the world, Amy enjoys cooking, checking out the latest restaurants, wine tasting, outdoor adventures, volunteering, live music and nightlife, and the occasional horseback ride.

Debbie is responsible for all things “back-office” at Cerulean – she makes sure we have the systems and processes in place to support our clients and partners in a proactive fashion...

A travel aficionado from way back, Debbie’s true passion is for the ocean, and above all snorkeling!

Her love of the water has taken her to the coast of Roatan Island in Honduras, to marine-rich Holbox Island.
