Discover the World Like a Local: Exclusive LGBTQ+ Journeys Await
Spending eight months in Istanbul last year was nothing short of life-changing. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in a city that is both ancient and modern, vibrant and serene. The sights, the sounds, the aromas—all blended into a sensory masterpiece that we’ll cherish forever. We wandered through bustling bazaars, sipped Turkish coffee in hidden cafés, danced in the heart of Taksim, and indulged in the time-honored tradition of hammams—including those that proudly welcome the LGBTQ+ community.
When we returned to the U.S. in November, we felt refreshed, renewed, and more determined than ever to share this experience with others. But what surprised us the most? The questions. The ignorance. "Why would you visit an Islamic country? Don’t they want to kill us?" Nothing could be further from the truth. We were welcomed, respected, and embraced.
And that’s when the idea was born.
We’re hosting three exclusive 8-day journeys to Istanbul this year, designed specifically for LGBTQ+ travelers who crave authenticity, adventure, and cultural immersion. Small groups, no more than ten guests, experiencing Istanbul the way locals do—on foot, by tram, ferry, and metro. No staged tourist traps, just real, unforgettable moments.
But we’re not stopping there.
We’ve also added Egypt, Morocco, and Southern Africa to our itinerary. Each destination comes with its own unique rhythm, history, and flavor. Yes, Egypt is more conservative, but if you travel smart and respect local customs, you’ll find the experience deeply rewarding. And then there’s the ultimate bucket-list trip—Cape Town to Cairo. A journey like no other, spanning the continent, offering raw beauty, ancient wonders, and life-changing encounters.
For those who long to explore but hesitate to go alone, we’re offering something truly special. A safe, well-curated, exhilarating travel experience, where every detail is handled and every journey is shared with like-minded individuals. And with my husband—a medical doctor—ensuring that our guests' well-being is a top priority, there’s no reason to wait.
If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing the world without fear, without hesitation, and with a group that truly understands your journey, this is it. The time to explore is now.
