Finding places where every traveler feels welcome

Travel has been part of my life since I was a kid. My family went to Walt Disney World every three years, spent summers in Myrtle Beach and at our lakehouse in Michigan, and I tagged along on camping trips in my grandparents’ motor home. So when I became a travel advisor in 2018, focusing on Disney, it felt like coming home.

Everything shifted in 2022. As a gay man and a gay dad, stepping onboard Virgin Voyages was the first time I felt 100% safe to be myself while traveling. I saw it in the crew first, and then in the guests, and it changed how I plan. Now I put real care into finding destinations where every client feels that same ease and welcome.

I love working with travelers who have a story behind the trip: honeymoons, anniversaries, first timers, cancer survivors, and anyone looking for LGBTQ+ welcoming places. If that sounds like you, I would love to help.
