My Story
Hospitality is in my DNA. I design luxury and boutique travel experiences that are inclusive, welcoming, and thoughtfully curated, especially for Black travelers, LGBTQ+ travelers, and solo explorers. I love sharing knowledge from my own journeys to help others travel smarter and experience the world beautifully.
Travel Style
My travel style blends boutique luxury with meaningful experiences. I believe great travel goes beyond the itinerary, it’s about how the journey feels from start to finish. I pay close attention to comfort, flow, and the details that make travel effortless, from smart routing to thoughtfully chosen hotels and experiences.
I’m drawn to destinations that celebrate culture, connection, and inclusivity. Whether it’s a luxury escape, a meaningful solo journey, or discovering spaces that warmly welcome Black and LGBTQ+ travelers, I believe travel should feel inspiring, comfortable, and beautifully curated.
With a strong hospitality background, I approach every trip with a service mindset, sharing insights from my own travel experiences and creating personalized journeys that feel seamless, welcoming, and unforgettable.

We had an incredible experience working with Darryl Howard, Fora Advisor, to plan our dream trip to Greece! From the very beginning, Darryl was patient, responsive, and attentive to every detail. He took the time to understand our vision for the trip and made thoughtful recommendations that helped bring it to life.
Throughout the planning process, he communicated every step of the way, answered our questions promptly, and made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel seamless and stress-free. His attention to detail and dedication to ensuring everything was in place gave us complete confidence before we even left home.
Thanks to Darryl's expertise, our Greece vacation exceeded our expectations and became a trip we'll cherish for a lifetime. We truly appreciate his professionalism, organization, and genuine care for creating a memorable travel experience.
As an added bonus, this trip became even more unforgettable when we got engaged, making it a memory we'll treasure forever. Thank you, Darryl, for helping create the perfect setting for such a life-changing moment!
If you're looking for a travel advisor who listens, communicates exceptionally well, and goes above and beyond to make your travel dreams a reality, we highly recommend Darryl Howard!

We cannot recommend Darryl highly enough. From the very beginning, he truly listened to what we were looking for—a laid‑back trip with great food, time at the beach, and opportunities to enjoy nature—and designed an itinerary that matched our preferences perfectly. The resort he recommended was exactly what we had hoped for, and every detail of the trip felt thoughtfully planned.
Darryl took care of all the logistics seamlessly, from arranging our airport pickup to organizing outings around the peninsula. Highlights included a visit to Secret Beach, exciting dinners at Black Orchid and Caramba, which were a lot of fun and never felt rushed or overwhelming. He also ensured we were well looked after by the resort staff and made us feel welcome and at home throughout our stay.
What really set Darryl apart was his attention to detail and genuine care in making sure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to him, we were able to relax and fully enjoy the experience without worrying about the planning or coordination. We would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personalized, stress‑free travel experience.
