LGBTQ+ travel, where you belong.
As a gay man and frequent traveller, I know what it means to need more than a hotel that says it's welcoming. Every recommendation I make comes from personal experience and community knowledge.
Sailed · Mar 2026My approach.
LGBTQ+ travel has grown enormously, and so has the gap between hotels that are genuinely welcoming and those that simply say they are. I know that difference because I travel myself and I'm part of this community.
Every hotel I recommend, I've stayed at or vetted through networks I trust. Every cruise line I work with, I understand its culture and its guests.
- Personal vetting of every hotel: stayed there myself, or verified through trusted networks
- Which destinations are safe and welcoming, and which need more care
- LGBTQ+-specific hotels and resorts in Wilton Manors, Gran Canaria, Madrid, Mykonos and more
- The difference between a hotel that's inclusive in culture and one that ticks a box
- Accessibility always front of mind: I have experience looking after travellers with additional needs
- No judgement, no assumptions, just service tailored to how you travel
