Feeling safe and comfortable as LGBTQIA+ couples in another country is a priority for us as Hosts, and Costa Rica has been so welcoming and loving to all of us. The itinerary is *so good* and having an incredible local tour guide + driver for transfers has made everything go sooo smoothly for all of us."

I got to meet and connect with 7 amazing babes in our community in real life. As I get closer to the launch of upcoming domestic retreats, I’ve found myself reflecting on how surreal this trip was. The joy, the adventure, the growth and the self-love. Creating connections beyond our online space to inspire confidence is something I always dreamed of. I can’t wait to keep bringing it to life!" [@simplytobiasyoung](https://www.instagram.com/simplytobiasyoung/) ![trovatrip-blog-ty-2](https://trovatrip.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/trovatrip-blog-ty-2.jpg?width=576&height=576&name=trovatrip-blog-ty-2.jpg) #### @simplytobiasyoung "It’s important for me to show the Black community that we too can travel and share the same experiences that others frequently do! As I go into planning these trips, I make it a point to be sure that anyone and everyone knows they are safe and welcome to join. This world is way too big for us to sit back and watch others live their best lives – we MUST get out and explore this beautiful planet!" ### Why Hosts choose TrovaTrip Imagine yourself in Greece. Patagonia. Bali. You're sharing a once-in-a-lifetime experience with people who feel like life-long friends, even though you just met. That’s what our Hosts do every trip. They get to travel the world and connect face-to-face with their communities, make life-long friendships and visit exotic destinations while contributing to local economies. Our Hosts also love that we plan the adventures so all they have to do is enjoy them. They get to strengthen their brand and create a repeatable revenue stream. It doesn’t get much better than that.
