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 12 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 Lindsay Booth! I'm a travel advisor who loves helping families turn their vacation dreams into unforgettable memories. My husband and I have two girls  and we live in the great state of North Carolina. My love for travel and making memories with my family inspired me to become a travel agent.

My name is Elaine and I’ve been a travel agent for 8 years. I specialize in Caribbean island travel, Europe and cruises. I’ve been to many islands and on quite a few cruise lines. So, I have a lot of personal travel experience to pass on. Italy and Ireland were two of my favorite vacation destinations! Florida, Alaska and Vegas are also popular USA destinations that I book frequently! Portugal, Africa and Costa Rica have become popular destinations as well. I’m here to help with your budget or luxury vacation!

Hi, I’m Brittany! Mommy of two, wife to Scott. My love of travel planning began when I was in the early stages of planning my wedding, and stress was creeping in quickly. It didn’t take long for us to ask, “What if we just eloped?” Wedding planning turned into honeymoon planning, and before we knew it, we were married in a beautiful Costa Rican rainforest. From then on, I fell in love with the details involved in creating meaningful, stress-free memories. It brings me happiness to be able to do that for others! Whether you are planning your own honeymoon, family vacation, or group trip, I am happy to take care of the details, tailor each itinerary to your travel style and preferences, and help create a trip that feels effortless, memorable, and uniquely yours.

My love for travel, culture, and history led me to this career. I help others explore the world through unforgettable vacations and honeymoons, creating seamless, meaningful experiences you'll cherish for a lifetime.
