Mental Health Resources for those in the USA - In light of the recent election, I want to put out a message that LGBTQIA+ and minorities are always welcome here. I may post promos in conjunction with tour companies that spout worldviews I don't always agree with, but we do our best to avoid any openly phobic posts, and should you notice any, I'd appreciate you contacting me with this form to let me know.

I'm doing my best to get everything up on the site and social media in a timely manner. Apologies if anything is missed or late! Between the state of the US right now, my mental/physical health, and some things going on in my personal life, things may be missed or late occasionally. I truly appreciate your understanding!
