Reclaiming Joy in Travel

This week, I’ve been exploring something I deeply believe: travel isn’t just about escaping—it’s about reclaiming.

Reclaiming joy. Reclaiming freedom. Reclaiming your place in a world that sometimes feels off-limits.

Whether it’s stepping into a destination that once felt unsafe, rocking swim trunks I never thought I’d wear, or traveling with people who just get it—travel can be a powerful act of showing up as your full self.

Over the past few days, I’ve shared personal stories, invited you to join me on an unforgettable Virgin Voyages cruise, and asked one big question: What would you reclaim through travel?

If you missed anything, here’s a recap:

• Not Just a Vacation, a Reclamation — How travel can be more than just a getaway.

• Reclaiming My Space in the World — What it means to show up unapologetically in new places.

• Come Along Cruise — April 2026 — Join Ian and me on Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady for a week of queer-friendly fun, incredible food, and unforgettable stops in Mexico and the Bahamas.
