About Joy
Hi I'm Joy Diehl!
FROM MEDICAL PRECISION TO VACATION MAGIC
Ever felt like you’re running a three-ring circus while on vacation? That perfect family photo interrupted by an excited toddler chasing their favorite character? I get it – because I’ve been there.
I traded my hospital scrubs for something even more rewarding – creating perfect family vacations. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, and now a proud U.S. citizen, I bring both global perspective and precise attention to detail to your travel planning.
My Story
Planning my first family vacation with three kids – including a toddler, a daughter on the spectrum, and a tween – taught me something crucial: every family deserves a travel planner who truly understands their unique dynamics. After experiencing both the frustration of inadequate support and the joy of finding someone who listened, I discovered my calling.
Now, I transform overwhelming vacation planning into seamless family adventures. Because when vacation planning is done right, the memories last forever. (And yes, that joy pun is always intended! 😊)”
Why it Matters
My Journey to Stress-Free Family Vacations
Before my first family vacation with three kids, including a toddler, a daughter on the spectrum, and a tween who constantly complains about being bored, I felt completely overwhelmed. I decided to get help from a travel agent, hoping it would ease my stress. However, the first travel agent I hired wasn’t really helpful , adding to my anxiety.
Frustrated, I switched to a second travel agent. Although she wasn’t a specialist in family vacations, she took the time to listen to my doubts and concerns, making the process easier and less overwhelming. Her willingness to help, even without specific expertise in family trips, made a huge difference.
This experience opened my eyes to the need for travel agents who genuinely care about making family vacations enjoyable. I realized how important it is for someone to ensure that families have the best experience possible, free from the usual stress and challenges. That’s when I decided to become a Travel Advisor, to help families like yours.
In the end, that vacation was amazing. We created great memories and had a fantastic time together as a family. Looking at the pictures from our trip fills me with joy (no pun intended here). Even if my kids were too young to remember every detail, I know those moments were special because we felt them. I believe that travel creates lasting memories that can lift our spirits and bring us together
