Steele First Class Luxury Gay Travel
By Jorge Treviano
If Housewives of
New York’s queen of luxury Sonja Morgan were a gay
travel agent, she would be
Dane Steele Green.
Green’s travel tour company, Steele Luxury Travel, specializes
in meeting the needs of a high end, fabulously gay clientele. He
says vacations should be intriguing, inspirational, educational
and most of all, indulgent.
His trips are tailored with the gay traveler in mind. Steele’s
most popular summer travel experience, The Mykonos Island Villa
Escape, features a sea-front villa with live-in chefs, a
cleaning staff, and two gorgeous house boys.
Note to Sonja: don’t allow The Countess to plan your next trip
abroad. Call Dane. He’ll give you the extravagantly first class
vacation you deserve.

Where are the hot gay destinations this fall?
Aside from the staples - Rio, Mykonos, Ibiza and Barcelona – gay
men are flocking to more obscure destinations around the globe,
including South Africa, Courchevel (for winter snowboarding),
and Asian cities like Hong Kong and Shanghai.
What destination tops your list?
Thailand is full of energy, culture and delicious food.
There is a trend in destinations defining themselves as
gay-friendly.
The gay dollar is powerful. During this economic crisis, the gay
travel sector is the only one that has remained constant in the
industry. Cities would be foolish not to open their doors to us.
Tell us your travel philosophy.
Our company’s slogan is Live Your Indulgence. When travelling
abroad, explore the land the way you like. If you want to taste
every type of gelato in Italy, do it. If you want to visit every
bathhouse around the world, indulge yourself. It’s your time to
be free and leave all of life’s stresses behind.
How did you get into travel?
Travel has always been my passion. I worked for several
airlines and tour companies before launching my own company.
DNA Magazine called you “the luckiest gay bastard”.
My most recent “Oh my God, look where I am” moment was at the
Life Ball in Vienna. I was inside the most beautiful palace and
I literally got a sense of what heaven must be like.
