Our Founders
Destination Manifestations was founded by Quiana Jones and Dominique Johnson. The close friends love to travel and have been on several trips together. When they realized they shared a wish to help others experience the thrill of faraway places and new experiences, Destination Manifestations was born.
Quiana Jones
When Quiana Jones was 22, she boarded a plane for the first time, for a 13-hour flight to Hawaii with friends. After that, she was hooked. She has now been to 21 states, nine countries and three continents. As someone invigorated by new experiences, travel is irresistible to Quiana. She loves the opportunities it provides to explore music, language and culture, as well as local customs and cuisine (she is a major foodie).
A graduate of Northern Illinois University, Quiana holds a doctorate in counseling, adult and higher education; a master’s degree in public health with an emphasis in health promotion; and a bachelor’s degree in public health.
Quiana believes that everyone has a place they dream of going, but don’t think they can make it a reality. She sees Destination Manifestations as her opportunity to help bring those dreams to life at an affordable cost.
Dominique Johnson
Dominique Johnson’s love of travel began with a class trip to Washington, D.C., when she was 13. But travel was a luxury for Dominique while growing up. Though her mother wanted to take her places, the single parent of four couldn’t often afford to do so.
Now, Dominique has been to 18 states and plans to visit all 50. She has also traveled to several countries, including Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Brazil and Spain. To her, travel means more than experiencing new places and cultures. It’s the opportunity to gain a larger perspective, to see the world as your playground, full of joy and wonder.
Dominique holds a master’s degree in public policy and a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and dietetics from Northern Illinois University. She is also a licensed nutrition and dietetic technician. Though her ultimate goal is to retire overseas and continue traveling the globe, she finds inspiration in helping others expand their own horizons.
