THE VALUES
A community on the move
Discovering the essence of places, immersing myself in cultures thet are not my own with utmost respect, and filling my eyes wonder – travel has changed my life. Each journey has brought back something more. For the past 10 years, I’ve been guiding my clients through their travels, sharing what I’ve discovered about the places I’ve visited. With the creation of Gay Up Travel, I decide to do it for the LGBTQ+ community, my community.
Gay Up Travel was bord to allow my clients to travel safely, leaving them only the pleasure of vacation and the amazement of discovery. The destinations, hotels, guides, transportation, and experiences I offer have been carefully selected and personally tested, one by one.
philosophy
Pride and sustainability
Travel as you are. This is the philosophy of Gay Up Travel. Everyone should feel free to be themselves anywhere in the world. This is the primary purpose of Gay Up Travel.
Actively being protagonists in the LGBTQ+ community for us means not only providing services to our clients as members of this communiti but also contributing to the growth of LGBTQ+ pride in every queer person in the countries where we organize our tours.
