I used to never wave Pride flags and have rainbow this and rainbow that before. I would attend parades and parties and after parties but I don’t think I ever considered what Pride month was truly ever about.

I was always like there is so much more to me than my sexuality. And I absolutely hate labels. As I’ve gotten older and as I help LGBTQ travelers in my business, along with my work in the DEI space it has become all the more clear of why Pride is necessary.

Pride Month and celebrations are a reflection on and a time to honor the history, struggles, and achievements of the LGBTQ+ community.

The Stonewall Riots of June 1969 became a catalyst for the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, advocating for equality, acceptance, and love.

And although I am who I am 365 days a year, this month I hope you embrace the spirit of Pride by fostering an environment of respect, unity, and love for everyone. ♥️

Hello June and Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

If you’re new here, I’m Janis, a q***r traveler with a passion for exploring new places and helping folks in my community (and allies) elevate their travel experiences through uniquely crafted and personalized trip planning.

I believe in the power of travel and the impact it can have on our lives! And I also believe in inclusive travel for all!

The majority of my clients are LGBTQ travelers however, I work with all travelers who appreciate traveling better and aren’t interested in the “cheapest price” but rather seek the value of a well planned vacation that makes the most of their travel dollars.

Fun fact about me: I love sports! I have dreams of being a pro golfer one day! Love a perfectly made Old Fashioned 🥃, love to dance, and I’m a proud dog mama to my spoiled Yorkie. 🐶

But enough about me, tell me what’s on your bucket list?! 🌍

Spending 2 weeks in South Africa has had a personal and professional impact on me. From Cape Town to Joburg, and Durban, with an epic private game reserve experience in between (I saw all of the Big 5!), my first visit to Mother Africa was nothing short of epic!

My first Africa's Travel Indaba 2024 was an exciting ending to an amazing intro to SA! 3 days full of networking, learning, and new friends made I am excited to add Africa as a whole to my destination portfolio. In addition, Sol Journey Travel has recently completed the South Africa Specialist official program and I can’t wait to share more about this incredible destination. 🇿🇦

Why plan your vacation with a travel advisor? I'm glad you asked!

✈️ You can leave the planning up to travel pro. It takes hours and hours to plan a great itinerary, and depending on your destination things can get complicated. Travel advisors take the stress off your shoulders by coordinating all of the details of your trip for you.

🌴 Can we talk about those pre-made travel packages for a moment? They were created to be generic, so if you’re looking for a more tailored travel experience that factors in your travel preferences, that’s exactly what we can help with.

🌎 You’re getting a stress-free travel experience.
Say goodbye to scrolling on Google for hours and trying to coordinate the elements of a great trip all on your own.

✅ With a travel advisor, you’re always getting vetted travel information, you’re not relying on information from online forums and reviews that may or may not be accurate.

🧳 All you really have to do is worry about packing and making sure your passport is up-to-date — travel advisors take care of the rest.

It all starts with a complimentary planning call — book yours at the link in my bio.

On a misty morning, light shines like gold over the inky black waters of Milford Sound. Tucked deep within New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park, this pristine setting is framed by mountain peaks and gushing waterfalls and is known as one of the wettest inhabited places on Earth. The rare phenomenon of black water comes from fresh rainwater that runs through a forest and is colored with tannins before settling over salt water from the Tasman Sea. On Earth Day, let’s celebrate the most stunning places on the planet and be reminded to travel mindfully through the world’s precious natural wonders. Happy Earth Day!
