Why I Started the Rainbow Getaways Travel Network

I didn’t set out to create a host agency. I set out to create something better.

Like so many travel professionals, I’ve had my share of industry letdowns. I started my career with a host who, when the world shut down in 2020, chose denial over leadership. So I moved to another host—one that, at first, seemed to have it together.

But what looked promising on the surface turned out to be something much worse. That host was embezzling money. And when the truth came out, it was clear: if I wanted a host agency that truly aligned with my values and empowered serious advisors to grow, I’d have to build it myself.

So I did.

A Network Built for Advisors Who Want More

Rainbow Getaways Travel Network was born from a belief that driven, independent advisors deserve more than empty promises and half-baked support. I didn’t want to be just another name in the crowd—I wanted to build a network where the right people could build something meaningful, with real support and real tools behind them.

RBGTN is for the advisor who has a vision. Someone who knows the kind of business they want to build and refuses to settle for mediocrity. We’re not a massive host agency, and that’s by design. We’re a boutique network with the infrastructure to compete at the highest level—thanks to carefully chosen partnerships, cutting-edge tools, and a fierce commitment to helping our advisors succeed.

Why the Host Model Needed to Change

For years, the message in this industry has been clear: if you want access to tools, support, and a seat at the table, you have to go with one of the big players. But that seat often comes at a cost—sacrificing your brand, your autonomy, or your voice in exchange for being “part of something bigger.”

I hated that tradeoff. And I knew it didn’t have to be that way.

At RBGTN, we’ve built a model that lets you own your brand, your business, and your direction—without sacrificing access, credibility, or opportunity. You don’t need to be part of a giant host to play big. You just need the right support behind you.

From Underdog to Industry Voice

We’re already proving what’s possible. RBGTN has been recognized with the LUXlife Travel & Tourism Award for Most Inclusive Travel Experiences Host Agency and featured in national trade publications. Our advisors are showing up, standing out, and raising the standard for what it means to plan truly inclusive, intentional travel.

This isn’t just a network. It’s a movement.

The Future Is Inclusive—And It Starts Here

My vision for RBGTN isn’t just about growth. It’s about transformation. I want this to be the host agency for advisors who care deeply about the experiences they create, who want to serve travelers from every background, and who believe that inclusivity should be the rule—not the exception.

Whether you’re gay, straight, trans, bi, or just someone who wants to build a business rooted in belonging, you have a place here. We see you. We respect your goals. And we’re here to help you thrive.

If you’re tired of cookie-cutter hosts and ready to build something that actually reflects your values, let’s talk.
