Hi, I'm Joy and I’m always down for a new adventure! Based in Orange County, California, Where 2 Next Travel was born out of restlessness and a desire to do something I love. Travel is my passion and I am often asking others "where to next?" I thought it would be a fitting name for my travel business! I have a remarkable knack for planning and logistics, and with more than three decades of sales and customer service experience, my expertise leads to worry-free trips and very happy clients. When I'm not planning a vacation or traveling, you can find me hanging out with my amazing family and friends, snuggling with my cute but mischievous pug, going to awesome concerts and discovering all the things that So Cal has to offer. 


Favorite Destinations: North Shore, Oahu & New Orleans (US) and Mexico & Barcelona (International)


Favorite Drink: Depending on the time of day - water, coffee, wine or craft beer


Favorite Band or Music Genre: Foo Fighters or early 90’s Hip Hop (will travel for music)


Bucket List Destination: Philippines

"Hi Joy- Just wanted to let you know that the trip was awesome! We didn't encounter any issues with transfers or while checking in/out at the resort. Everything was perfect! Thank you again for assisting me with my travel plans, I definitely will be using you again in the future.”

“Joy is excellent. My daughter and I traveled to Krakow and Warsaw, Poland with multiple transfers etc. Everyone showed up and everything worked out great. We had a wonderful time and in no small part because of all the care that was taken with our travel arrangements.”

Cassee F. ~ Portland, OR

“Gosh, where do I begin? In a nutshell, we loved the Alaskan cruise! You went above and beyond what we expected and I know that contributed to our fantastic trip! Where to next year?”

Q: What are the advantages of working with Where 2 Next Travel? 

A: We take the time to get to know you, your travel style, needs, interests and budget in order to help you make better travel decisions so you can have a better vacation experience. We take the stress out of planning and we provide the personal touch that you can’t get through online booking portals. With our expertise and industry connections, we can provide complimentary exclusive amenities such as resort credits, on-board credits, private shore excursions, room upgrades, spa and dining credits, and free daily breakfast . Our job as a travel advisor starts with planning, but it doesn’t end until you’re home safely. 


Q: What types of travel experiences have you booked in the past? 

A: Our destination specialties include Hawaii, Los Cabos and New Orleans. We also book many cruises to Alaska, Mexico and the Caribbean, as well as all-inclusive experiences. We have also curated itineraries to almost every major city in the United States and parts of Europe. Our client base includes solo travelers, couples, families, groups and adventurers. We no longer provide independent airline travel, but will still support flights reserved through our land travel partners.


Q: Does it cost more to book through a travel advisor than it does to book online? 

A: You can certainly get great deals on your own online, but we offer the best value for your time and money and excellent personal service to our clients. 


Q: What is a planning fee? 

A: We have recently implemented a non-refundable planning fee for new clients that covers the professional services required to arrange your travel request. Should you decide to book with us, the fee would be applied towards the final payment. The planning fee starts at $100 per trip and is determined by the complexity (number of people, length of travel, customization, etc.). The fee is due after a complimentary initial consultation and is valid for 30 days.
