About Me

Hi, my name is Joshua, I’m a lifelong New Yorker with a heart shaped by travel and a deep love for exploring the world through new perspectives. From the first time I hopped on a bus out of the city as a teen, I discovered a simple truth: travel isn’t just about where you go, it’s about how it makes you feel. Every journey I’ve taken since then has been about chasing that feeling of freedom, joy, and discovery that only exploration can bring.

Through Valenz Travels, I’m turning that lifelong passion into purpose. I help queer and solo travelers design unforgettable journeys without the stress of planning or the limits of big budgets. From flights to immersive daytime adventures, I take care of every detail so that you can focus on what truly matters: living your story and embracing new memories.

Valenz Travels is my movement to reclaim the magic of exploration and connection. Whether you’re traveling solo, celebrating your individuality, or yearning to experience that “honeymoon travel” energy again, I’m here to craft journeys that are authentic, heart-led, and joy-filled every step of the way.

I help travelers unlock the best travel perks without stretching their budgets to the limit, because adventure should feel rich, not expensive! With my affordable travel planning and personalized solo travel consulting, you can explore the world confidently and comfortably, no matter your destination.

From your flight out to your last taxi ride after dinner, I make sure every moment of your journey runs smoother than a New York bagel with scallion cream cheese, perfectly toasted and full of flavor. As a proud New Yorker and LGBTQ+ traveler, I bring heart, inclusivity, and experience to every trip I design.
