About Joyce
My love of travel began when I was a young girl. By my teenage years, my parents had entrusted me with planning a few of our family vacations, and I happily took on the challenge. Before the internet, that meant spending hours in the travel section of our local bookstore, poring over Frommer's and Fodor's guidebooks. During college, I was fortunate to participate in two study abroad programs, each followed by time spent backpacking throughout Europe. Those experiences sparked a lifelong love of Europe that continues to grow with every visit.
I am a lawyer by training, having graduated from Louisiana State University's Paul M. Hebert School of Law in 2002. After having three children, I found a new way to put my organization, efficiency, and attention to detail to work: planning travel. Several years ago, Marissa Prejean planned my family's Disney vacation. Afterward, she offered me the opportunity to help families interested in traveling beyond Disney, particularly internationally. I have been planning trips ever since and have loved watching that opportunity grow into a career.
Today, I specialize in thoughtfully planned European vacations, with a particular love for multigenerational family travel. I help clients bring the details together, from choosing hotels and arranging transportation to planning sightseeing and experiences that reflect their interests. Traveling with different ages and generations takes thoughtful coordination, and I enjoy creating itineraries that balance everyone's needs while making the logistics as seamless as possible.
One of the most rewarding parts of my work is introducing clients to places I love, especially when they are visiting for the first time. While multigenerational travel is a specialty of mine, I also enjoy planning honeymoons, couples' getaways, and trips for retirees ready to explore at their own pace. Whatever your stage in life or reason for traveling, I would love to help you plan a trip that reflects your interests and creates lasting memories!

Experience
I have officially been planning travel for clients for almost ten years; however, I have unofficially been organizing trips for friends and family for much longer than that. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the United States and abroad. I have traveled throughout Europe, making visits to the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, and Greece, and my planning services have brought clients to places far beyond my own travels. I have also been fortunate enough to have lived in Japan, Paris and Aix-en-Provence, France.
