LGBTQ+ Travel · IGLTA member

Travel should feel like a yes.

Not a maybe. Not a question mark. Not a guessing game about whether a hotel, cruise or destination will actually feel right once you get there. Planned by an LGBTQ+ traveler who checks the things you'd want checked.

Why it matters

Accepted isn't the same as welcomed.

For LGBTQ+ travelers, feeling welcome matters. So does knowing that the hotel, cruise line, tour operator or destination understands the difference between simply accepting LGBTQ+ guests and genuinely creating a place where you can relax and be yourself.

As an LGBTQ+ traveler, I bring that perspective into every plan: the places I recommend, the partners I work with and the experiences I put in front of you.

Less time wondering how you'll be received. More time enjoying where you are.

What I check for you

The homework, done.

01

Destination safety

Local laws, attitudes and the neighborhoods where you'll feel at home.

02

Hotel culture

Who actually welcomes couples like yours at check-in, not just in their ads.

03

Cruise line vibe

Which ships and sailings feel open, social and fun for LGBTQ+ guests.

04

Tours & guides

Operators and local guides who make everyone in your group feel comfortable.

My goal isn't to put you into an "LGBTQ+ trip." It's to plan your trip, with an understanding of the things that may matter to you along the way.
