Hi, I’m Jarrett.
Travel Beyond the Ordinary
I believe the best trips aren’t measured by how many countries you visit. They’re measured by the stories you bring home, the people you meet, and the moments that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase.
That’s the philosophy behind Glitter Globe Getaways.
Whether it’s wandering through a neighborhood market in Seville, sharing a bottle of wine in Portugal’s Douro Valley, or watching castles drift by from the deck of a river ship, I believe travel is at its best when there’s time to slow down, stay curious, and truly experience a place.
Why I Started Glitter Globe Getaways
Like many travelers, I fell in love with travel because it changed the way I saw the world.
One trip to London and Paris showed me something I’d never experienced before—not just incredible cities, but the realization that the world was bigger, more welcoming, and full of possibilities I hadn’t imagined.
That feeling never left me.
Eventually, it became the foundation for Glitter Globe Getaways: a travel company built around meaningful experiences, thoughtful planning, and the belief that the people you travel with can be just as memorable as the destinations themselves.
More Than a Travel Advisor
I don’t see my role as simply booking hotels or cruises.
I’m a planner, a guide, and a host.
I take the time to understand how you like to travel, then help create an experience that reflects your interests, your pace, and what you hope to get out of your time away.
Whether you’re joining one of my hosted journeys or planning a custom European itinerary, my goal is always the same: to help you experience a destination rather than simply visit it.
A Place Where Everyone Can Feel Welcome
As a gay travel advisor, I understand that feeling welcome isn’t something anyone should have to think twice about.
That’s one of the reasons I specialize in hosting journeys for LGBTQ+ travelers while also creating unforgettable experiences for anyone who shares a love of meaningful, culturally immersive travel.
Because the best trips happen when you can relax, be yourself, and focus on what really matters: the experience.
Thoughtful Planning, Every Step of the Way
Before travel, I spent years in corporate finance, where details mattered.
That mindset has never left me.
I believe exceptional travel happens because of careful planning, trusted partnerships, and someone who’s paying attention long before you ever board the plane.
It’s the behind-the-scenes work you’ll probably never notice—and that’s exactly the point.
Who You’ll Meet on My Trips
My travelers come from different backgrounds, but they tend to have a lot in common.
They’re curious.
They appreciate good food and local culture.
They’d rather enjoy a long dinner than rush through another sightseeing checklist.
Many travel solo.
Some travel with partners.
All are looking for experiences that feel welcoming, relaxed, and genuinely memorable.
If that sounds like you, I think you’ll feel right at home.
