Customized Leisure and LGBTQ Travel Agent

After earning my MBA in 2007, I started my own marketing company focused on marketing LGBTQ travel with companies such as Atlantis Events, R Family Vacations, and RSVP Vacations. With them, I have been on over 50 cruises and visited many of the world’s most fascinating destinations.

In 2017, I joined Protravel International. My involvement with marketing hotels, cruises and group travel in LGBTQ communities and my experience and connections at the top LGBT travel companies have made me the natural go-to person for LGBT advice among my friends and peers. My business quickly grew and thanks to my mentors, colleagues and clients, I was a 2018 Virtuoso Rising Star nominee, a prestigious award given to a travel agent new to the business who “exhibits exceptional promise to become one of the very best.” 

Through my affiliation with Protravel, I offer customized travel solutions for all leisure travelers, and my business is now a 50/50 split between gay and straight. As one of the top players in the industry, Protravel enables me to provide great perks and amenities at luxury hotels, on cruises, and in all facets of your travel experience. For the same price (and sometimes cheaper), you will receive things to make your vacation even more special. These include room upgrades, food and beverage credits, spa services, wine and fruit, early check-in and late check-out, breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and more. These little "extras" can really take a travel experience to the next level.

I also bring years of personal travel experience to my planning, and if I don't know a destination myself, I have a huge network of peers that I can get an answer from when I need it. This means a smoother, easier travel experience for you.  

As a travel expert, I help you cut through the overload of often conflicting information that you are bombarded with on the internet and in the media. I’ll provide options specific to your interests that you often wouldn’t have access to on your own. I also will go through every step of your journey with you so everything is covered and I’m on hand for questions while you are traveling. By putting yourself in the hands of an expert, all you need to do is relax and enjoy your adventure.

There's a real reason to have a Travel Agent

Reviewed By Ken - Sherman Oaks, CA | Traveled to Trans-Atlantic ~ Other
Besides being very easy to deal with, Greg is incredibly knowledgable and stayed involved on a vacation that took over two years (thanks, pandemic) to actually take. I went to Greg in order to make sure a credit that had been applied to us would go to our next trip. he achieved that, then the pandemic came and two years later we worked to have the credit applied which the cruise lines first denied. On the cruise we finally took (two years after the original) Greg kept his eyes opened and found us the best cabin we've ever had although we had been fine with what we had. It made all the difference that we were on an aft corner, with a huge veranda on the top floor of the liner. It was AMAZING. Thanks Greg, we're forever grateful.

I only #GoWithGreg when I travel.

Reviewed By Brad Loekle - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Rome ~ Italy ~ Europe
I've used Greg for all my travel needs for a few years now and I couldn't be happier. I travel a great deal for both work and play. An average year can see me travel to 15+ countries and a dozen or so trips within the US. Greg has made my travel a seamless experience. I can't remember the last time I've had such amazing service, consistently, for such a prolonged time. He's my travel guru and I really can't rave about him enough.

Super Friendly and Responsive

Reviewed By Stephen - Bogota, NJ | Traveled to Europe
Greg was very quick with responses and gave some great suggestions for our trip and planning our itinerary. His contact with one of the hotels resulted in a great room upgrade upon arrival which was a wonderful treat. He was incredibly friendly and responsive throughout the entire process - even when we'd send him a hundred questions and "what about"s.

Will always book with Greg

Reviewed By Travis - Los Angeles | Traveled to Sydney ~ Australia ~ Australia & New Zealand
BEST TRIP OF MY LIFE! Greg cared for all my accommodations and made traveling to Australia very easy. He was prompt in his response times and was professional and personable when I met him to go over the plan. He answered all my questions and even checked on me before the initial flight to ensure I had all my documents and paperwork in check. Thankfully, he did. I almost missed filling out a visa for my travel without his notice. Since I booked with Greg, I was impressed with my immediate upgrade to the top floor at the hotel and had VIP status the entire stay! Walking into a gorgeous hotel room, I was surprised to see balloons and a slice of delicious chocolate cake in my room with a personalized “Happy Birthday” note from the manager of Capella Hotel. I had the same VIP treatment at Hyatt Melbourne with a slice of birthday cake and another Happy Birthday welcome from the staff. This experience has been top-tier, and I will always book my future trips with Greg and Protravel!
