Julie Perry resides in Fort Lauderdale, Florida?the Yachting Capital of the World?yet calls the world her home. She has visited over 50 countries through a variety of different work abroad experiences, including working her way around the United Kingdom on a temporary visa and serving as a Tour Director for one of the nation's largest travel clubs. And yet, she admits that her greatest travel adventures occurred during her time in the yachting industry: Nearly three years as a stewardess on luxury yachts took Julie to 40 different ports in 18 countries. She misses the boating life, especially when she sees pictures of a past guest in Vanity Fair Magazine and remembers how she once tried on her Prada shoes. Currently a freelance writer/copywriter and Internet marketing specialist, Julie continues to travel extensively for both business and pleasure. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Indiana University and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa Academic Honor Society.
