How A Feather Sparked A Lesbian Travel Empire: Vivian Perez On Building Global Queer Adventures

Here's something nobody talks about in the LGBTQ+ travel space.Most of it wasn't built for queer women.Vivian Perez noticed. And instead of waiting for someone else to fix it… she built Ladies Touch Events & Travel from scratch.What started with a feather boa moment — literally — turned into a company that's taken thousands of LGBTQ+ women around the world.Not "women-friendly" trips tacked onto someone else's itinerary.Trips designed from the ground up for queer women who want to travel surrounded by their people… without having to explain themselves, shrink themselves, or settle for being an afterthought.In this episode, Vivian gets into what it actually takes to build a travel business as a queer Latina entrepreneur…How she curates spaces that feel genuinely safe — not just "inclusive" in the brochure sense…Why group travel does something for queer women that solo travel simply can't…And the moment she realized she wasn't just booking flights. She was building a community that didn't exist before her.If you've ever scrolled through trip options and thought "this wasn't made for me"… Vivian built the thing you were looking for.
