About Me

A Visit to Pristine Stockholm on a Baltic Cruise
A Visit to Pristine Stockholm on a Baltic Cruise

I have been a travel professional for over 8 years and have been traveling my entire life. I have been to every continent but Antarctica and have been on over 25 cruises, both LGBT charters and mainstream cruises. I love to explore new places and share my passion of travel with my clients.

I assist clients in selecting the best cruise for them, whether it is their first cruise, or they are searching for something new. I also assist clients with planning and booking  land vacations, both guided and independent tours and custom vacations. I enjoy helping clients make the most of their time in the destinations that intrigue them. 

My travel agency Purple Light Vacations is an LGBT owned and operated travel agency that provides added value including destination insight such as tips from locals that are not in the guidebooks, to all travelers. We save our clients time and money and enhance their vacation experience. Our slogan is “Travel in the Know Wherever You Go”. Our clients include individuals, couples, groups and families.

They made the planning process so easy!
Reviewed By Jules - San Diego, California | Traveled to Europe
Before working with Jonathan at Purple Light Vacations to plan a trip to Europe, we had no idea what the benefits were of working with a travel agent. Now that we know, we’ll never book a trip without him!

He not only helped us narrow down which countries and cities to visit, he found the most wonderful hotels in each city that we never would have stumbled upon on our own.

One of our stops during the trip was a wedding for a dear friend. There were several people attending the wedding who had also used Purple Light Vacations to book their trips. We all marveled at how easy and seamless he made the planning.

No hassle traveling at it's best!
Reviewed By Mary Lou - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Budapest ~ Hungary ~ Europe
My son and I recently traveled to Eastern Europe visiting Budapest, Sofia, Belgrade, Bucharest and Istanbul. It was my first time traveling without being a part of an organized group bus tour, so I was just a little apprehensive about all the arrangements and all the things that could possibly go wrong. It was the best and most seamless trip ever thanks to Jonathan from Purple Light Vacations!

Purple Light took care of all the flights required, 9 in two weeks! He booked all our hotels which were always centrally located, within walking distance of most sites we visited. They were upscale, modern hotels with charming staff who always made sure that all our needs were met during our stay.

Jonathan included details for all the cities we visited which included the must-see sites, bars and restaurants .

I highly recommend Purple Light Vacations for anyone looking for the vacation of a lifetime with no hassles! I will absolutely be using them for all my future vacations.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
