Custom Travel Planning Services
Queer-centered travel planning for welcoming, safe, and unforgettable trips.
Planning travel can be overwhelming - at Discover Queer, we take the guesswork out of it. Whether you're nervous about where it’s safe to hold hands, unsure how to start planning a queer honeymoon, or just too busy to Google “best lesbian-owned B&Bs in Portugal” for the tenth time, we’ve got you.
Here’s how DQ makes it easier:
Curated destination recommendations where LGBTQ+ travelers are welcomed and celebrated
Recommendations that match your identity, vibe, and travel goals
Custom maps, suggested routes, and daily activity ideas
No pressure, no judgment. Just great travel, made for you
We design trips that put queer joy first. From queer-owned stays and inclusive experiences to safety-aware routing and local LGBTQ+ connections, we plan exceptional travel. You tell us what you love - let DQ do the rest.
How it works:
-
Every unforgettable trip begins with connection. We’ll talk through your travel style, dream destinations, and what “luxury” means to you. This step allows me to understand what matters most, so your itinerary reflects you — down to the smallest detail.
-
Once you’re ready, you submit the planning fee, we finalize the agreement and onboarding forms. Then, we begin crafting your personalized adventure.
-
This is where the planning transforms into something special. Discover Queer thoughtfully designs your itinerary - pairing curated resorts, unique experiences, and seamless logistics - to craft your perfect trip.
-
We deliver a carefully designed draft itinerary with resort/hotel recommendations and curated activities that reflect your travel style. You’ll have the opportunity to add comments for any refinements, and we’ll fine-tune the plan before proceeding to secure all bookings and arrangements.
-
Once your trip is booked, my focus shifts to the details that elevate your experience. From specialty tours to special requests, I make sure your journey unfolds flawlessly — with every comfort considered.
During this stage, DQ makes final confirmations with accommodations and travel partners, delivers a polished itinerary, and helps you get ready for take-off!
-
DQ assistance is only a message away throughout your journey, making travel seamless and stress-free from departure to return. Plus, we like to hear how your trip is going!
-
After your return, we welcome your feedback to help shape future journeys. Our goal is to build a long-term travel partnership that evolves with your changing needs and aspirations.

Why Work With Discover Queer?
Discover Queer
DIY Travel Planning
✓ Queer-inclusive destinations, verified experiences & local insights
Travel with confidence knowing every stop is researched for queer-friendliness and cultural safety.
✕ Uncertainty about queer-friendliness
It’s hard to know which neighborhoods, hotels, or venues are truly welcoming.
✓ Itineraries shaped around your identities and boundaries
Experiences designed for who you are—not generic sightseeing lists.
✕ Generic itineraries that overlook your needs
What’s online rarely considers identity, culture, or safety nuances.
✓ Safety guidance + real on-the-ground context
Get clarity on local laws, norms, and the actual “feel” of a destination.
✕ Conflicting or incomplete research
Google can’t tell you what it’s really like to navigate a place as a queer traveler.
✓ Access to queer-owned businesses & hidden community spaces
Support local queer creators and connect with welcoming community hubs.
✕ Missing queer-owned and community spaces entirely
They often don’t appear on big travel sites or standard guides.
✓ Personalized recommendations based on how you want to feel
Romantic, adventurous, slow, chic, restorative—your vibe leads the design.
✕ Decision fatigue from too many options
Endless tabs and no clarity on what actually fits your travel style.
✓ High-touch planning & real-time support
If plans change, you have someone to text—no navigating chaos alone.
✕ No support when things go sideways
With DIY planning, you’re on your own if something needs to shift.
