Welcome to Journey with Joni

My passion is helping others create lasting memories through meaningful, beautifully planned travel.

I’ve lived in Kauai, Oregon, Washington, Texas, and Italy — each place shaping my love for culture, food, and the joy of discovering somewhere new.

While other kids watched cartoons, I was glued to the Travel Channel, following Samantha Brown and planning family trips with Rick Steves guidebooks spread across the table. A family cruise to Alaska sealed it: travel would always be a part of my life.

Today, I live in Southern California with my husband and our two rescue dogs, and we love exploring together whenever we can. Though my roots are in SoCal, my heart is always ready for the next adventure.

My goal as your travel advisor is simple: to make your dream vacation happen with clarity, care, and stress‑free planning.

My Travel Adventures

I’ve been fortunate to explore a wide range of destinations across the globe which helps me advise my clients. My experience includes:

• Ocean cruises through the South Pacific, Europe, Alaska, Mexico, and the Mediterranean

• River cruises on the Rhine, Moselle, Main, Danube, and Rhone rivers throughout Europe

• Extensive travels across Europe from Scandinavia to Portugal to the Greek Isles and Adriatic coast.

• Educational touring of the Holy Land including Israel, Jordan & Egypt

• Immersive journeys throughout North America, Central & South America, including backpacking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

• Meaningful time in Africa, experiencing its rich culture and enjoying safaris

What's next? I'd love to visit Japan, Switzerland, and cruise the Mekong river! Preferably, not all in the same trip.

Cairo, Egypt

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Gdansk, Poland
