Hi, I’m Jarrett.
I handle the details so you can simply show up and enjoy the journey.
A trip to London and Paris changed my life.
Not because of Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower—but because of how it felt to be somewhere completely new, surrounded by people I’d never met, realizing the world was so much bigger and more welcoming than I had imagined.
That feeling stayed with me. Eventually, it became a business.
I started Glitter Globe Getaways because I couldn’t find the kind of travel experience I was looking for: thoughtfully hosted group trips for LGBTQ+ travelers who wanted something more meaningful than the typical options out there.
Not a party cruise.
Not a giant bus tour with 50 strangers.
Not a trip where you spend the first day wondering whether you can fully be yourself.
Just exceptional travel, beautiful destinations, and a welcoming group of people who value connection as much as the destination itself.
Why I Do This
As a gay man, I know what it feels like to step into a travel experience and quietly assess the room.
Are these my people?
Will I have to edit myself?
Can I actually relax here?
When you travel with Glitter Globe Getaways, that question is already answered.
My hosted trips are designed to create an atmosphere where LGBTQ+ travelers and allies can simply show up, be themselves, and enjoy the experience—without second-guessing whether they belong.
Because feeling comfortable matters.
And it changes the entire trip when you do.
My Approach to Hosted Travel
I personally select every hosted departure with one goal in mind: creating exceptional travel experiences for people who care about more than checking landmarks off a list.
That means choosing trips that offer:
- Thoughtfully designed itineraries
- Quality cruise and tour partners
- Comfortable pacing
- Opportunities for genuine connection
- A travel style that prioritizes experience over chaos
My travelers tend to be people who appreciate great food, meaningful experiences, and the kind of trip where the conversation over dinner is just as memorable as the destination.
Why Clients Trust Me With the Details
Before travel, I spent years in corporate finance.
Which means I’m the advisor who reads the fine print, watches pricing trends, catches what others miss, and obsesses over the details so nothing falls through the cracks.
The reason my trips feel effortless is because a great deal of work happens behind the scenes to make them that way.
That’s the standard I hold myself to—every time.
Solo Travelers Are Always Welcome
About half of my travelers come on their own.
And by day two, you’d never know it.
Creating an environment where solo travelers feel included, comfortable, and genuinely part of the group is one of my favorite parts of hosting.
Whether you arrive solo or with a partner, you’ll be welcomed from the start.
