I believe travel should change you, not just where you go, but how you see the world and people. 

With over 20 years in law enforcement and a passion for service, I specialize in organizing meaningful travel experiences, including mission trips, group travel, and culturally immersive itineraries.

I coordinate teams traveling to serve with organizations like Agape International Missions, ensuring every detail, from flights to logistics, is handled with care and structure.

I also plan custom itineraries to destinations like Paris, London, and beyond for travelers seeking both purpose and exploration.

Whether you’re leading a group, planning a mission, or looking for a meaningful getaway, I help you travel with intention, so your experience leaves a lasting impact long after you return home.

Truly Magical!!
Reviewed By DisneyFan826 - Texas | Traveled to Anaheim | California | USA
Dawn made our trip truly Magical!! Our family of 3 had a very last-minute opportunity to travel to California. Going to Disney crossed our minds since we’d be traveling with our child, but being so last minute (less than 2 weeks) we didn’t think it would be possible. We were referred to Dawn by a family member. We explained the situation and answered some questions for her and within just a couple of hours she sent us information and quotes that were extremely helpful and less pricy than what we had found online. She gave us advice and brought things to light and gave us ideas/recommendations that we hadn’t even thought of. We committed to going and she took it from there. She planned everything! Based on the activities we liked, what kind of food foods we enjoyed and our child’s age she came up with an itinerary. It full of useful information and hacks that we never would have known. It was so stress free and easy. If I had known this is what it was like to work with a travel agent I would’ve been using her services my entire adult life! All we had to do was show up and enjoy the many magical moments. Our entire trip was awesome and we can’t thank Dawn enough for her professionalism, knowledge and willingness to be there for us before, during and after our trip. I’ve already referred her to several family and friends. Thank you Dawn…can’t wait to work with you again very soon!!

"Vanessa and Family, It was an honor to plan Maxim's first trip to Disneyland, and thank you so much for trusting me with your family's magical adventure. I look forward to working with you and your family again, to plan Olivia's first Disney Adventure. You were a delight to work with, and I loved seeing the memories you made. Thank you for blessing me with photos of your trip. Thank you again for choosing me to help plan your family Disney Adventure. Blessings, Dawn"

Best Agent Ever!
Reviewed By Meleonalani - North Las Vegas | Traveled to Africa
I'm so grateful for my travel agent's incredible support and guidance even before I've booked anything, she has shared so many thoughtful, unsolicited insights and tips that have genuinely helped me understand my options and feel more confident about planning. Her kindness, patience and genuine passion for travel shine through in every interaction! It's rare to find someone who cares this much about helping you make the right choices, and truly appreciate her dedication. It's so evident that she leads with a genuine heart and sincerely cares about the people she helps?? I highly recommend JTX Adventures for all your travel needs??

Helped make our kids’ first Disney trip so special
Reviewed By NicholsFamily - Reno, NV | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
We had such a great experience working with Dawn to plan our Disneyland trip! It was our kids’ first time going, and she made the whole process so easy for us. She knows so much about Disney and travel and was always there to answer questions and help with anything we needed. What I appreciated most was how she checked in with us before, during, and after our trip. It really showed how much she cares about her clients and wants them to have a great experience! We had an amazing trip and made some really special memories as a family. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a Disney trip or any vacation. We’ll definitely be using her again!

My Travel Stories

It was my first year serving there, and I never could have imagined how deeply Kenya—and the people I met—would become woven into my heart and life. I have returned every year since.
