Safety & Inclusivity

Our point of view on DEI

What this means to Virginia

Founders Perspective

“Having Surinamese, Dutch, and Indian roots, I am all too familiar with the realities of racism and discrimination, especially as I present as Black. These experiences, though unfortunate, influence how I choose my own travel destinations. It’s vital to me that our travellers are shielded from such biases or at least prepared for them. I aim to provide honest insights about destinations and conduct research on these matters, ensuring everyone can travel as safely and confidently as possible.”

Prioritising Your Well-Being

Safety

Safety is a paramount concern in all our travel experiences. We conduct thorough research on our destinations, leveraging both our own experiences and extensive research. However, we cannot guarantee absolute safety, as it also depends on your behaviour and the actions of those around you. We encourage all travellers to stay vigilant and practice safe habits while exploring new destinations. Together, we can create a safer travel environment for everyone.

Creating Welcoming Journeys for All

Inclusivity

At Life of Gini, we are dedicated to making all our travels as inclusive as possible. We recognise that certain groups, including queer individuals, transgender people, people from diverse backgrounds, religious travellers  and those with accessibility needs, may require additional care.

This is why we have established ‘Inclusivity Trips’ to focus on these needs. However, we acknowledge that we don’t know everything. We need your help to create trips that are truly inclusive for everyone. Share your insights and experiences with us to help shape the future of travel.

Empowering Overlooked Communities

Inclusieve reiservaringen ontworpen voor over het hoofd geziene gemeenschappen zoals queer biculturele en mensen met toegankelijkheidsbehoeften. Met prioriteit voor veiligheid respect en toegankelijkheid geven we reizigers de kracht om de wereld authentiek en vol vertrouwen te verkennen. Elke reis zorgt ervoor dat iedereen zich verbonden kan voelen kan ontdekken en zich welkom voelt op bestemmingen wereldwijd.

Saamhorigheid en inclusiviteit bevorderen

Een reismilieu creëren dat diversiteit viert, zodat elke reiziger zich gezien en gewaardeerd voelt. Ervaringen bevorderen oprechte connecties en een gevoel van saamhorigheid, met inclusiviteit als leidend principe. Iedereen verdient een plek om vrij te verkennen, zichzelf te zijn en zich volledig geaccepteerd te voelen.

Impactvolle reiservaringen

Betekenisvolle reizen samenstellen die reizigers onderdompelen in lokale culturen en gemeenschappen. Gericht op authentieke ervaringen verbindt elke reis je diepgaand met de mensen en verhalen achter de bestemmingen. Meer dan sightseeing, deze reizen maken impact en verrijken levens en perspectieven onderweg.

Duurzaam & Eerlijk Toerisme

Toegewijd aan milieuvriendelijk, verantwoord toerisme dat lokale gemeenschappen ten goede komt en natuurlijke hulpbronnen behoudt. Door duurzame praktijken te ondersteunen en samen te werken met gemeenschapsgerichte bedrijven geven we prioriteit aan eerlijk toerisme. Gezamenlijk creëren deze inspanningen positieve, blijvende verandering terwijl we de ecologische voetafdruk minimaliseren en wereldwijde verbindingen versterken.
