We Provide a Personal Approach
As a dedicated travel consultant specializing in LGBTQ+ travel experiences, I understand that creating the perfect itinerary goes beyond simply booking flights and hotels. It’s about crafting journeys that celebrate identity while ensuring safety and comfort.
Safety-First Destination Selection
My approach begins with carefully vetting destinations for their LGBTQ+ acceptance and legal protections. I stay current with global LGBTQ+ rights, social attitudes, and safety considerations to recommend destinations where clients can truly be themselves.
- Thorough research of local LGBTQ+ rights and protections
- Regular updates on changing social attitudes and acceptance levels
- Focus on destinations with strong anti-discrimination laws
Your safety and the enjoyment of your vacation experience is my priority.
Strategic Timing for Optimal Experiences
Timing can significantly impact your travel experience. I help clients plan around:
- Peak vs. off-peak tourist seasons for privacy and comfort
- Cultural festivals and events that showcase local acceptance
- Local pride events and LGBTQ+ festivals
I personally love to travel in off peak seasons so I have the most space to explore a destination.
Our LGBTQ+ Off Peak Travel Calendar contains insights into where to travel when, to maximize your experience.
Curating Authentic Local Experiences
I believe in creating connections with local LGBTQ+ communities to provide authentic experiences:
- Partnerships with local LGBTQ+ tour guides and businesses
- Access to underground scenes and community events
- Introductions to LGBTQ+ friendly local establishments
Whilst I understand these aren’t the only local experiences you want to have, we have many on offer.
Accommodation Excellence
Every accommodation I recommend undergoes careful screening:
- Direct relationships with LGBTQ+ certified hotels and guesthouses
- Verification of staff training in diversity and inclusion (where possible)
- Personal visits or trusted recommendations from community members
I ask the question of hotels about their policies. When they don’t respond I take them off my list.
And places that say they are but don’t follow through when you arrive, are also removed from my list.
Discovering Hidden Gems
For clients seeking more discrete or exclusive experiences, I specialize in:
- Private tours and exclusive access to attractions
- Off-the-beaten-path destinations with proven track records of acceptance
- Personalized experiences tailored to individual comfort levels
I work with Destination Management Companies (DMCs) and local Tourism Boards in destinations so have insider knowledge of what’s new, the best experiences, which experiences are different. Often private experiences are available and will be offered.
Comprehensive Support
My service extends beyond just planning:
- 24/7 support during travel, including an in destination contact number during your stay
- Detailed information on your trip from start to finish
Every itinerary I create is more than just a travel plan – it’s a carefully crafted journey that prioritizes both discovery and dignity. Whether you’re seeking vibrant pride celebrations or quiet getaways, I ensure every moment of your travel reflects who you are and respects how you want to experience the world.
And when you return from your trip, I love to hear about what worked and what didn’t. If you rave about your initial itinerary, then take your trip and tell me how fantastic it was, I know I’ve done my job right.
