Dynamite Travel
Fifteen years ago, I founded Dynamite Travel – an award-winning, five-star rated luxury travel planning consultancy. Through my work as the CEO and Founder, I strive to serve people from all communities and backgrounds as I encourage them to share my passion of travel. I’m a member of NGLCC (National LGBT Chamber) and the Orlando Pride Chapter and am committed to furthering diversity, equity, and inclusion in the travel industry.
Additionally, I partner with brands that work to improve representation of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ travelers. I’m proud to say that my work and commitment to these goals have resulted in my being featured in such publications as Travel+Leisure, Washington Post, CNN, Brides, Essence, as well as additional high profile media outlets. Why should you choose to work with me? As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I’ve traveled around the world – as a solo traveler, couple’s travel, and family travel. I have extensive knowledge as to what it takes to plan a successful LGBTQ+ vacation.
During the past 15 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of LGBTQ+ travelers and have developed a quality reputation for providing “customized white-glove” travel planning services that ensure my clients have the opportunity to create their own luxury vacation – customized to their specific desires and needs. From out-of-this world luxury resorts offering everything from sandboarding to cooking classes, to classy boutique hotels with private spa sessions, I will work to make sure that your bespoke vacation experience is customized to your liking for a safe and enjoyable getaway.
Let me leave you with this important tip: If a brand displays a PROUD HOSPITATLITY Badge, it identifies the property as LGBTQ+ friendly and verifies that their staff has taken/completed an online Proud Hospitality training session. I look forward to working together soon and curating your next getaway!
