About Joy

I love discovering the experiences waiting for us in the world—and helping others find the journeys that feel uniquely their own. My travels have taken me throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, and destinations across the United States. I enjoy the comfort of a beautiful resort just as much as traveling with the bare necessities. I believe travel can be a relaxing escape, a chance to reconnect, or an invitation to deeper reflection and discovery. I would love to help create a trip that feels meaningful to you.

Favorite adventures

1 month - Gold Mining Camp in Canadian Yukon

My Yukon adventure began in Whitehorse and continued to Dawson City, where I boarded a single-prop plane to a remote gold-mining camp accessible only by air. I stayed in a rustic cabin, shared meals in the bunkhouse, and waited my turn for the shower. Even the outhouse had an incredible view of a forested hillside where bears occasionally wandered.

12 days - Maui and Kauai Resort stay

My 12-day Hawaiian adventure began on the shores of Kaanapali, Maui, with snorkeling at Black Rock, relaxing by the resort pool, and beautiful seaside dining. On quieter Kauai, I explored the island’s natural beauty and snorkeled in peaceful, secluded bays. It was the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

2 months - New Zealand Exploration

Arriving in Auckland felt surreal—a place I had always dreamed of visiting. During my two-month stay, I explored the South Island and lived in a small hut with an open-air balcony overlooking the beautiful Sounds. I experienced rural Kiwi life among dairy cows, sheep, and horses, embracing the relaxed rhythm of a farming family.
