Hi, I’m Cathy Dunagan—travel advisor, joy seeker, memory maker.

As the founder of Finding Joy Travel, I believe travel isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about feeling fully alive, connected, and present with the people who matter most. My journey to this business began with a personal turning point: after surviving breast cancer, I knew life was too short not to spend it doing something meaningful. So I left a 20-year career in insurance and turned my part-time passion into a full-time mission—to help families, couples, and adventure-seekers find more joy in the world.

Today, I use over 8 years of travel planning experience to curate personalized vacations that feel seamless, soul-filling, and unforgettable. From dream European river cruises to easy weekend getaways, I’ll handle the research, bookings, and fine print—so you can focus on what matters: the memories.

Because life is busy. Travel shouldn't be stressful. And joy should never be an afterthought.

Let’s plan something beautiful—together.

I’m Shereta Jenkins, a passionate travel advisor committed to creating unforgettable experiences for individuals, couples, families, and groups. With a deep love for exploration and a genuine heart for service, I specialize in planning seamless, joy-filled journeys, whether you're dreaming of relaxation, adventure, or something beautifully in between. I take pride in customizing your vacation to reflect your unique travel goals and preferences. From your first cruise to a romantic escape or a once-in-a-lifetime family vacation, I’m here to handle the details so you can focus on making memories. I believe travel should be both meaningful and stress-free. I personally treasure family vacations and love capturing those moments through scrapbooking, a reminder that every trip tells a story worth remembering.

Let’s start planning your next adventure today. I can’t wait to help you turn your travel dreams into reality.

Hi, I’m Rebecca Carter—wife to Chris, mom to three amazing girls who’ve grown up in the blink of an eye. I am a hairstylist with a deep love for meaningful travel. We live in North Carolina, where our family shares a passion for making memories through new experiences and adventures.

Chris and I have always believed that experiences make the best gifts—far better than anything that can break or be forgotten. That mindset has led us on many incredible journeys, from spontaneous Disney getaways to exploring the world with our daughters. One of our most favorite trips was to London and the Cotswolds, where we fell in love with international travel and discovered just how enriching it can be for families.

While some friends might talk you out of buying another pair of shoes or starting a house project, I’m the friend who will never talk you out of taking the trip. I believe that time is our most valuable resource, and traveling together is one of the best ways to make the most of it—especially during the short years we have with our kids at home.

At Finding Joy Travel, my goal is to make planning easy and the experiences unforgettable.

Whether you’re dreaming of a girls’ weekend, a romantic getaway, or a full family vacation, I’d love to help you create a trip filled with joy, connection, and memories that last a lifetime.

Let’s find your next joy-filled journey—together.

I’m happily married with three amazing girls, and together we love to travel as often as we can—it’s truly our favorite way to make memories. Through our adventures, I’ve discovered a passion not just for exploring the world, but for helping others do the same. That’s what inspired me to become a travel agent. I love connecting with people, and some of my closest friendships started while on vacation. I’d love to help you plan your next great adventure.

Hi! I'm Misty and I am new to the travel agent world, but I’ve already had the joy of helping clients plan the vacations of their dreams.

Adventure feeds the soul and memories fill your heart. Let me help you plan your next adventure.
