My career began with organizing ski groups to destinations throughout the US, Canada and Europe. I have organized groups as large as 110 to ski the Alps, ski buses to various Eastern US and Canadian resorts, and groups to Western US and Canadian resorts, including helicopter skiing in the Rockies. As I diversified my interests, I became a specialist in Italy, designing customized packages and private tours to numerous destinations in Italy, from the Northern lakes to the Dolomites, from Tuscany to Puglia, from Cinque Terre to Capri, and everywhere in between. One of my favorite cities in Europe is Amsterdam, a world heritage site, which is unique and exciting with more museums than any European capital, where I cycle frequently and organize city stays and group packages. Every year, I organize groups for sightseeing tours throughout Italy and other parts of Europe, as well as groups to Amsterdam Pride, to the European Alps for skiing (where Val D'Isere, France remains my personal favorite ski destination!), and to destinations within the US and Canada. I also organize school groups, student field trips, student language groups, adventure travel and more! LGBT clients call for my personal insight and sensitivity into their specific needs and concerns. My clients are loyal and return often. Referrals have spanned generations, so if you are looking for some excitement in your life, let me help you find it!

LGBT Travel Specialist
Perhaps you're considering an LGBTQ wedding or a destination wedding. Do you want to revel in the club scene in Amsterdam, Madrid or Berlin....or chill on a gay beach in Mykonos or Ibiza? Is Southern decadence, Amsterdam Pride, Dinah Shore Weekend Vegas, or a gay sailing adventure on your Bucket List? Are you psyched for some adventure...maybe cycling, hiking or white water rafting? Maybe it's all about a memorable getaway for just you and your partner? Do you enjoy group touring
You've come to the right place!
As an LGBTQ travel specialist and member of our local Pride organization, I am actively involved in events and fund raising for LGBTQ related causes. Our agency is a proud member of IGLTA and supports efforts to provide unique and relevant travel experiences for the LGBT community.
As a Certified Active & Adventure Specialist let me recommend some great adventures!
If you're a skier, let me recommend a ski destination in the USA, Canada, Italy, Spain, France, Austria, Switzerland (all of which I have skied multiple times with my groups). Consider joining one of my groups to Club Med in the French Alps each February! How about Arosa Gay Ski Week in Switzerland...the best gay and lesbian ski destination with beautiful mountains, parties and great accommodations?
Is a safari on your bucket list? Then let me recommend a visit to Capetown, South Africa for some amazing sightseeing and wine tasting in wine country, followed by a journey to Londolozi Game Reserve for a 4-day safari. Will you join my small groups to Amsterdam Pride every August for the unique and world famous Canal Parade? It's a week you won't forget!
Thailand, Spain, Costa Rica, Peru, Croatia, Greece, Netherlands, Italy...it's a big world out there!
I have organized, escorted, and hosted numerous groups and individuals to LGBTQ destinations and events worldwide. I regularly organize special tours and have attended several FAM (familiarization) trips and special LGBTQ events in Las Vegas. Travelers from London, Mexico City, Canada, and around the USA have sought my expertise in helping them plan safe and exciting travel itineraries which address their lifestyle. My active LGBTQ Twitter account has over 2500 followers and is focused on sharing some of the best trips and travel tips as well as LGBTQ community news.
