Favorite thing about DG: Our people! People are genuinely so kind, so curious, and so open to making new friends in a new place. Our team, our attendees, our vendors (especially the philanthropic ones) have become my genuine community, they remind me that it’s never too late to make new connections in a world that makes it easier to fly solo.
Favorite thing about travel: The newness of it all. New foods, new places, new people, and new experiences. It’s amazing to see people you would never have met in your daily life and learn how much you have in common together.
Favorite DG Trip: St. Lucia 2022. It was my very first trip and everyone was so genuine that I knew this was a company I would be with for the foreseeable future
