Stacey Minor
Travel has been woven into Stacey's life since her earliest memories. Growing up in the USA, she spent every summer of her teenage years visiting historical landmarks across the country with her family — and at just 14 years old, she took her first international trip. That journey lit a fire that has never gone out.
Since then, Stacey has traveled to destinations across every corner of the world. From the ancient temples of Asia to the sweeping landscapes of Africa, from the cobblestone streets of Europe to the sacred sites of the Holy Land — she has walked the ground, heard the stories, and felt the weight of history firsthand. Every destination has left its mark on her, and she carries those experiences with her into every tour she leads.
Among all the wonders she has encountered along the way, it is the great churches and sacred spaces of the world that hold a special place in her heart. She is drawn to the history, the architecture, and the living faith that these places represent — and she brings that genuine reverence and knowledge to every group she guides through them.
With over a decade of experience as a trip manager, Stacey has designed and led journeys to Israel, Europe, Asia, and Africa. She understands not just the logistics of travel, but the deeper meaning it holds — the way a single place can connect centuries of history, cultures, and people in one profound moment.
Through JOY Tours, she shares not just destinations, but the invisible threads that connect them. Because for Stacey, the world is not a collection of separate places — it is one extraordinary, interconnected story, and she cannot wait to share it with you.
