What happens when a former law partner ditches the courtroom for cruise decks—and turns travel into a full-blown LGBTQ+ mission?

You get Jonathan Geen, founder of Purple Light Vacations, one of the most seasoned, passionate, and fabulously informed LGBTQ+ travel advisors in the business.

In this episode of Pride Nomad Unleashed, Jonathan joins Ken for a lively, globe-hopping convo about:

• His pivot from litigation to luxury LGBTQ+ travel (trial by cruise, literally)
• How Purple Light helps queer travelers explore the world safely, joyfully, and often for less than you’d pay solo
• The real scoop on all-gay vs. gay-friendly cruises (hint: there’s a LOT more than just Atlantis)
• Insider perks, destination secrets, and why custom-curated experiences > cookie-cutter trips
• How travel is about belonging, not just checking off countries
• Plus: Why you should never trust a travel advisor who doesn’t pronounce “Antarctica” correctly
• 
  

🚢 Whether you’re a digital nomad, vacation queen, or finally ready to plan your gay safari, Jonathan’s got tips, insights, and possibly some dramamine for the Drake Passage.
