About us

The HedoNest came about because we felt there was something lacking in the travel options available for those who, like myself, love to travel and participate in adults-only and alternative lifestyle settings. So much of the travel packages and hotels that cater to this crowd can feel like a kind of Motel 6 meat market where the assumption is that travelers are interested in spicy activities only. In short, they lack both style and substance. That’s why The HedoNest specialize in adults-only, alternative and subculture lifestyle travel with an upscale twist.

My journey to becoming a boutique travel designer wasn’t a given. Born into a cult, I grew up incredibly sheltered. So when I left at 18, I wanted to hit the ground running, but I didn’t even know how to get a passport. I quickly realized that traveling can be really intimidating, especially for those looking to mix spice and luxury. On top of that, as a Black woman-of-size, I understand firsthand how important it is for LGBTQ+, POC, and people with disabilities to feel safe, comfortable, and pampered in the places they visit.

I’ve been in the alternative lifestyle and a part of various subcultures for almost thirty years and believe that life is an adventure to be enjoyed. No matter the reason for getting away, whether it’s a trip with the kids or something more risqué, I look forward to getting to know each and every client in order to create their dream, bespoke travel experience.

Vacation isn’t just time away from your routines. It’s time to explore, reconnect with yourself and your partner, and create lifelong memories. If you’re looking for a trip that will titillate and tantalize or you just want something out of the ordinary, look no further. The HedoNest is here to help.
