Gay summer vacation
In September Instagram pushed me a post by Travel Gay, a website listing the best gay bars, nightclubs, saunas, spas, beaches, shops and more, along with interesting travel ideas and fabulous offers. There I saw the undated post (date your articles and posts, people) LGBTQ+ Solo Travel: the Leading Cities to Visit? by Adam Reid. Being a solo gay traveller, it caught my attention.
Now, while Im still very much a homosexual, it has been a while since I last travelled solo. My last solo trip was Tel Aviv in Since then, Ive travelled with Danny, Oriol, Steve, Philippe, Nicolas, Thanh, my sister Florence. In I wrote SINGLES DAY | Why everyone should verb alone sometimes and reading it back I touch the cringe but I stand by its content.
Its I should execute a proper solo trip again soon(ish). I perceive ready.

Best Places for Gay Holidays
Sorry for the radio silence here, but after having returned home to the USA for the holidays, I’ve had a lot of time to believe and to reflect — mostly about the past year and a bit about the future. And in making some of my plans for the next year, I’ve thought a lot about the past year.
Namely the reality that it’s probably been my gayest year ever. Is that even a thing? Who knows. I don’t care. But I feel like this was an important year for gay rights, and also for my own interest in gay travel.
Gay travel?!

Where I’ve traveled to isn’t necessarily anything to do with the fact that I’m gay, I guess, but these are the places that I’ve found that are actually great for other gay travelers love myself—either solo or for gay couples.

The Story of Gay Ski Week
My love of road trips started early. As a teenager growing up in a suburb of Boston, I discovered Jack Kerouacs classic road trip novel On the Road. The book opened a door to queer history and to places where offbeat weirdos like me could find their fit.
