Joe, Alex & AJ — LGBTQ+ travel stylists, storytellers and your hosts for curated adventures.

We fell in love in 2017 and immediately set our sights on a bigger map. Since then we’ve blended high-design hotels, clever loyalty hacks and inclusive experiences into stories that help LGBTQ+ travellers feel at home everywhere.

Home base is Cheshire in the UK, where our Cavachon AJ approves every itinerary. Together we split our time between long-haul escapes, Berlin’s creative pulse, and London layovers planning the next adventure.

40+ countries

From Cape Town’s coastline to Brazil’s Amazon, we collect rare stories and trusted contacts.

Pet-friendly pros

AJ road-tests the UK’s best boutique stays — from lakeside cabins to heritage hotels.

Points obsessives

We turn Amex, Avios and Virgin Flying Club perks into front-cabin flights and suite upgrades.

Joe’s heart belongs to South Africa’s Winelands, while Alex collects vintage hotel stationery and obsesses over layouts that make a suite feel like home. AJ? She’s happiest anywhere with a sunbeam, a terrace, and a server who says yes to treats.

We believe travel is more than ticking destinations — it’s feeling seen, safe and inspired. That’s why every guide we publish includes queer-friendly stays, local phrases, cultural insights, and ways to support LGBTQ+ communities on the ground.

When we’re not exploring, you’ll find us at home decanting South African reds, editing travel films, or sharing loyalty tips on YouTube. Virgin Voyages has become our latest obsession — the design, the nightlife, the feeling of community at sea.

Points strategy is part of the fun. Between our Amex Platinum, BA and Virgin cards, plus Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton Honors status, we unlock private-suite upgrades and business-class redemptions without overspending.

Languages are our love letters to the places we visit. Even a few phrases open doors and smiles. This blog is where we bring those conversations home — sharing the learnings, slip-ups, and serendipity that comes with LGBTQ+ travel done right.

Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, a city break with chosen family, or a pet-approved countryside escape, consider us your friends on the inside.
