Don Jordan

Germany Travel Agent Specialist

Travel designer and Germany specialist who helps military families, luxury travelers, and culture seekers experience the best of this fascinating country year-round.

Having lived in Stuttgart while serving in the military, I’ve seen firsthand how Germany can feel both wonderfully familiar and thrillingly new. During my time there, I was embraced by the people, invited into their homes and celebrations, and introduced to a world of vibrant nightlife, unforgettable food, and centuries-old traditions. Those experiences shaped how I design trips today — combining iconic sights with meaningful connections, all at a pace that works for you.

Germany is a destination you can return to again and again, with something different to offer each time. I specialize in curating itineraries that highlight its many sides:

• Military travel: I understand the unique needs of military clients stationed in Europe. Whether you’re a single service member looking for a quick weekend getaway or a family seeking a kid-friendly but enriching vacation, I know how to make the most of your time and budget — helping you enjoy everything Germany has to offer while balancing the demands of military life.       
• Festival tours: From the famous Cannstatter Volksfest in Stuttgart to intimate wine and beer festivals that light up the autumn, I can guide you through Germany’s lively festival traditions — ensuring you experience the best of the culture, cuisine, and camaraderie.
• Christmas markets: Few things are as magical as Germany in winter, with its twinkling Christmas markets, steaming mugs of glühwein, and artisan crafts. I can help you find the most atmospheric markets — from bustling Frankfurt to charming Heidelberg — and even pair your trip with a stop in nearby Prague for pottery enthusiasts.         
• Historical sites: Germany’s history is written in its streets, castles, and cathedrals. Whether you want to stand on the battlements of Heidelberg Castle, explore Mannheim’s Baroque palace, or reflect at poignant World War II landmarks, I’ll plan your journey with the right balance of learning and leisure.         
• Castles & cathedrals: From fairy-tale castles perched on hillsides to grand cathedrals that echo with centuries of devotion, Germany’s architecture is breathtaking. I can help you make the most of these experiences while avoiding long lines and tourist traps.

Travel in Germany is remarkably easy, with excellent trains, walkable city centers, and seamless connections to nearby destinations like Prague and the rest of Central Europe. But having someone who knows how to fit it all together — and who knows what’s worth your time — can make all the difference.

For luxury travelers, I’ll elevate your experience with 5-star accommodations, guides, and exclusive access to cultural sites. And for history buffs or culture seekers, I’ll craft itineraries full of local flavor, fascinating stories, and plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in German life.

My goal is to design trips that feel personal, intentional, and stress-free, so you can focus on what really matters: exploring, relaxing, and making memories.

If you’re ready to experience Germany — its festivals, markets, history, and charm — in a way that feels like it was made just for you, I’d love to help you plan it.

LGBTQ+ Travel Agent Specialist

I’m a travel designer who creates affirming, unforgettable getaways for LGBTQ+ travelers and allies. I love helping my clients discover destinations where they can fully unwind, celebrate, and connect — knowing the details are handled and every stop on the journey is chosen with care.

I help clients experience the best of LGBTQ+ travel year-round — from lively coastal towns in the U.S. like Provincetown and Palm Springs, to vibrant international destinations like Puerto Vallarta and Sitges. Each place has its own charm and energy, offering a mix of excitement, beauty, and inclusivity that makes you feel right at home.

Whether you’re traveling solo, with your partner, or with a group of friends, I’ll take care of the details so you can focus on the good stuff: the moments you’ll remember long after the trip is over.

Here are just a few of the ways I help my clients experience the best of LGBTQ+ travel:

• Honeymoons & Destination Weddings: Romantic, affirming celebrations that reflect your unique love story — whether on a quiet beach, in a vineyard, or under the stars in a historic plaza.
• Adult-Only Escapes: No kids, no stress — just pure fun, relaxation, and a chance to recharge somewhere you feel completely comfortable.
• Nightlife & Entertainment: From cabaret and cocktails to music festivals and world-famous Pride events, I can guide you to the experiences that make a destination come alive after dark.
• LGBTQ+ Affirming Destinations: Every trip I plan centers your comfort and joy — connecting you with places and experiences that truly celebrate who you are.

Being part of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I bring a personal perspective to planning. I know what it feels like to step into a space and instantly feel welcome — and I want you to feel that on every trip we plan together. That’s why I don’t just book hotels and flights. I listen closely, ask the right questions, and craft an itinerary that reflects your style, your pace, and your priorities.

I use my expertise and professional connections to secure trusted suppliers, exclusive perks, and insider tips you won’t find online — all while keeping the process easy and stress-free for you.

Whether you’re dreaming of a weekend by the water, a colorful international adventure, or a quiet escape where you can truly relax and be yourself, I’ll help you make the most of it. And if you’re looking to explore beyond the usual spots, I can also guide you to lesser-known gems around the world — always with the same focus on comfort, fun, and authenticity.

If you’re ready to plan a trip that’s as lively, welcoming, and memorable as you are, I’d love to help you design it. Let’s make your next getaway one to talk about.
