Ajoua “Joy” Jackson

joyJoy’s love of travel is what initially fueled her desire to become a travel agent.  After bringing her lifelong dreams of traveling as a single woman throughout Europe to fruition, Joy decided that she wanted to help others to achieve their vacation dreams.  Although Joy had the time of her life, not everything went as smoothly as she had expected.  It was the attention to detail that, simply, was lacking.  Her travel mishaps are the very reason she strives to make her clients her top priority.  Paying attention to the “small things” is what makes the difference between just another trip and an EXPERIENCE!

Joy specializes in (but is not limited to) European travel.  She also offers insight and experience when assisting the single or solo traveler in planning their excursions.  Joy believes that everyone’s dreams are attainable with a little planning.  She’s looking forward to helping you plan your next great-cation.

Every great vacation begins with a great travel agent!
