About me

As a travel writer/video producer/founder of Joy’s Travel Adventures, I have traveled through 27 countries and most of the United States while working for Alaska and Delta Airlines and independent travel. My love of travel was cultivated by my adventure loving parents from a young age traveling by plane, boat, train and bus all over South America and Africa.

I have covered four-star hotels, Food & Wine Festivals nation-wide in my page one Google blog: Pure, Unadulterated Joy, and my coverage on Big Sur and Hearst Castle inspired a TV travel episode. My articles have been published in C-Suite Quarterly, BLVDsLV Magazine, Healthcare Traveler, and on TechZulu, AOL’s Patch, The Blogger’s Bulletin, Yahoo Shine and more.

As an airline industry professional, I wrote the script and appeared in a "Beating the High Cost of Travel" infomercial featuring Travel Expert, Tom Parsons, and Radio Personality, Casey Kasem. My interesting experiences abroad earned a “Spirit of Adventure” honor from the Youth Hostels of America Organization.

I was building Joy’s Travel Adventures aka Joie de Vivre Travel into an online global travel community for female travelers in the past and now run a travel agency as Joy’s Travel Adventures Agency. Happy to meet other like-minded travelers and look forward to sharing tips, trips and stories!

AI has been proven wrong on numerous occasions when planning trips. As a travel advisor, I'm part of a huge community of fellow travel advisors through ASTA and can ask for real feedback on places, speak directly to the travel suppliers when issues aris... show more

Hi there, I'm a travel advisor and thought I'd see what you're doing. I went to buy an itinerary and all it does is act like it's trying to work, but it's not going anywhere. Just an fyi.:) Possibly good, but can't tell since I can't see what I would ha... show more
