About Yulia
I'm a travel photographer, writer, and entrepreneur who's turned to her passion - travel storytelling - after being stuck in a cubicle for a good number of years as a Fortune 500 brand manager. My work appears in National Geographic Traveller, TIME, Conde Nast Traveler, BBC Travel, and more. For past assignments, I've shared a roof with nomads in Mongolia, traced the origins of Iznik tiles with artisans in Turkey and learned the art of Imigongo with artist collectives in Rwanda. I'm the founder of NOMⴷD + JULES, a small-group travel company with trips to the Middle East and Genius Womxn, a platform for womxn in travel media. I'm based in Chicago, but I am rarely there.
