About Me

20th Anniversary in Cozumel, Mexico <3
20th Anniversary in Cozumel, Mexico <3

As someone who did not grow up with much beyond the necessities of living and nurturing of a wonderful family, I never thought travel would be a normalcy for me. Being a mom of 2, a beautiful daughter (Kaitlyn) and creative son (Hunter), I want so much more for them than I EVER thought possible! Fast-forward, my amazing husband (Jimmy) and I celebrated our 20-year wedding anniversary in Cozumel, Mexico where we traveled via Carnival Cruise Ship and that's all it took! I enjoyed those 5 days so much, I came home and decided to become a travel agent. I absolutely love the education, knowledge and constant learning in an ever changing fast paced world of travel. From a passion for making our own memories came a mission to help others discover their next great adventure. Whether you are looking for a relaxing beach getaway, a thrilling outdoor expedition, or a perfect multi-generational reunion, I aim to turn those dreams into reality! I create every itinerary with the care and attention I give my own family plans. #TravelAgent #CarnivalCruiseLine #YourCruiseSpecialist #Cornerstone #Mexico #ChichenItza #Cenote #Pyramid #Yucatan

Getting me on a Cruise

I have always LOVED the water, swimming, floating, exploring, etc. Never really wanted to go on a cruise. You see, I also love LAND! My husband on the other hand has always wanted to go. In 2025 for our upcoming 20 year wedding anniversary I tell him, "let's pick a cruise and see where it takes us" In the end we were able to pay out the full amount including deposit so how could I say no?!

We went on this cruise in September 2025 to Cozumel and Yucatan, Mexico. Where we experienced the beautiful blue ocean and friendly atmosphere of the restaurant 3 senoritas, authentic Mayan cuisine, plunging into the refreshingly cold Centoe of IkKil and first hand experienced the calling of the rain at the Pyramid of El Castillo. Absolutely PRICELESS!

5yr Anniversary Trip (Broken Bow, Oklahoma)
Reviewed By Usazjz86 - Broken Bow, Oklahoma | Traveled to USA
Heather @ Jnkdash Adventures was beyond awesome for our travel/booking agent! She was responsive right away, from start to finish. She even helped to make a itinerary of the trip and a cool little flyer!! Above and beyond in my book. She made it easy to find a cabin to our liking, and nearby great attractions and shops! If you need an agent, or just a place to getaway. Check her out, she's the best!!!

Our trip was AMAZING!!!!
Reviewed By Tiffini - Crystal Beach, TX | Traveled to Galveston | Texas | USA
Heather was such a big help in making our trip perfect! When the first house had a cancelation she immediately got to work on finding us another place. Less than an hour after one cancel, we were booked again! There were no issues with our stay, as expected with research that went into picking a great vacation spot. All in all, we will definitely be booking with Heather again!

Spring break disaster, solved.
Reviewed By Return Customer - Garland, TX | Traveled to Galveston | Texas | USA
We had a beach house reserved for a stay in Freeport. 2 days before check in day i received an email from the beachbhouse owner saying the house had been flooded, and I needed to cancel my reservation. Heather was able to quickly find us options that wer still available so close to our planned stay. We were able to book another beach house that same day. Saving our spring break trip to the beach.
