About Me

Members of the LGBT community have unique needs when it comes to travel. They want to be able to explore exciting, interesting and accepting destinations, and many people want to be able to immerse themselves in the gay culture of another community.


As a travel professional, I focus on helping the LGBT community plan amazing vacations to friendly and welcoming destinations.


I, myself, am gay, and have traveled to many gay-friendly destinations around the world. I also have stayed in the gay districts in many large cities. This allows me to provide my clients with expert recommendations based on my first-hand experience. I customize each travel itinerary that I create in order to accommodate the interests and desires of the individual client, so that each person gets the memorable vacation that they deserve.


Recently, I helped a couple plan a comprehensive European tour. The trip began in London, which was where the couple had their civil union ceremony performed years before. They were able to spend a few days exploring this city that held such a special place in their hearts. Then, they traveled to Paris by train, and stayed in Marais — the heart of the gay district in Paris. After their stay in Paris, they enjoyed the river cruise that sparked the idea for the trip and then spent a few days in Madrid after the cruise was complete. Their trip ended in the Canary Islands, where I surprised them by arranging their arrival for the same day as the annual Gay Pride parade there.


I am an experienced travel professional with an associate's degree in travel and tourism. I also am certified with many of the cruise lines, top hotel and resort brands. I am a Certified Travel Associate, and have completed the Travel Agent Proficiency exam. In addition, I have earned a gay and lesbian lifestyle certificate from the Travel Institute, which provides me with the professional expertise I need in order to service the needs of my clients.
