Meet Niki Rowland
Founder of Be It Travel, lifelong traveler, proud geek, and your guide to travel for every body.
Hi, I'm Niki Rowland, founder of Be It Travel, and I believe every body deserves to see the world. I specialize in accessible cruise and vacation planning for travelers with disabilities, families, and LGBTQ+ travelers, plus geek-friendly adventures for anyone who wants to travel as themselves.
Accessible travel from firsthand experience
I've been traveling for 30 years, including the last 10 with a mobility scooter. I know accessible travel takes more than checking a box on a booking site: it means finding a cruise cabin that fits your mobility needs, transportation that works, and excursions you can actually enjoy. I research those details, ask the right questions, and help you know what to confirm with providers before you book.
Travel for every body and every family
Too many people quietly give up on the trips they dream about because they aren't sure their body, their family, or their identity will be welcome. I'm passionate about disability accessibility and LGBTQ+ inclusion, and I welcome families of every shape and size, couples, friend groups, and solo travelers. You don't have to explain why your dream trip matters, so let's make it happen.
A lifetime of travel
I've traveled often for business and pleasure, including work projects in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. I've explored national parks across the United States, visited museums throughout Europe, and had a truly marvelous trip to Mumbai, India. Every journey has taught me something about the details that turn a trip into a memory.

A proud geek
I'm a lifelong geek and Dungeons & Dragons fan, which is how the Sharess Collection was born. And if you're a Rocky Horror fan, yes, you caught the nod in my motto.
