Stardust + Wanderlust
Invite you to
Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
November 1 - 5, 2025
This November 1 - 5 (5 days/4 nights), we meet in the heart of the Yucatán. Playa del Carmen, Mx.
This trip is intentionally & exclusively designed for queer, BIPOC travelers to make genuine, comfortable connections and co-create a sense of belonging — for real!
[Stardust + Wanderlust will host future trips that include LGBTQ+, non-BIPOC travelers.]
🌴 What can I expect:
✈️ A well-balanced, handpicked itinerary — with breathing room. (Scroll down for an overview of our time together).
⌛️ You choose your pace—no pressure, just possibilities.
🏡 A comfy villa with a private pool and lots of space that was completed in 2022.
🍲 In-house, home cooked meals curated and prepared by Chef Jas.
🤝 Deep connections, belly laughs and zero overwhelm.
🏳️🌈 A beautiful group of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ folks.
💸 Transparent pricing.
Join us for 4 days and 5 nights of juicy, curated magic AND the freedom to rest, explore, or follow whatever sparks your joy.
Chef Jas brings a very special kind of magic to every fork or spoonful! Chef Jas has deep roots in Mississippi and has spent the last nine years in New Orleans. Through Earthseedfood, their plant-based pop-up (IYKYK - shoutout Octavia Butler), Jas has truly developed the art of transforming familiar dishes into extraordinary ones.
What sets Jas apart isn't just their incredible cooking—it's their approach to food as community care. They build community by keeping meals accessible, healthy, and deeply nourishing, weaving together cooking, gardening, and herbal wisdom into experiences that satisfy your body, not just your palate.
As an artist, educator, gardener, and community connector, Jas doesn't just cook for you—they cook with you in mind and heart – like gathering around a friend's kitchen table, if that friend happened to be a culinary genius with a gift for making everyone feel welcome.
Chef Jas will be on-site in our villa preparing all our melas and participating in most activities with us.
What are we eating?
We will have a mix of vegan and non-vegan meals available. Dietary restrictions will be honored. Chef Jas will be cooking + serving 7 meals and various snacks throughout our trip.
We will also be enjoying hand-picked local restaurants in the city.
