About Joni
My passion is found in helping others create lasting memories!

Throughout my life I have lived in Kauai, Oregon, Washington, Texas, and Italy. I was the child who–while other children were watching cartoons–was watching Travel Channel's Samantha Brown and planning family trips with the help of Rick Steves. 


I vividly remember going on a family cruise to Alaska and it grew my love for travel even more. I now live in Southern California with my husband and our two rescue dogs. We love going on adventures with them. Though my roots are now in SoCal, I still love to travel as much as possible! 


I have found that the best memories are formed by sharing experiences with the people you love.
