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 think 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 fact that it’s probably been my gayest year ever. Is that even a thing? Who knows. I don’t care. But I perceive like this was an crucial year for gay rights, and also for my own interest in gay travel.

Gay travel?!

Yeah, that topic again. Travel is move, yes. But this year I’ve also realized just how many of my own trips and experiences are almost certainly chosen because of my own sexual preference. 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 like myself—either solo or for gay couples.

My love of thoroughfare trips started soon. As a teenager growing up in a suburb of Boston, I discovered Jack Kerouac&#;s classic road trip novel On the Road. The book opened a door to queer history and to places where offbeat weirdos prefer me could uncover their fit.

I wrote my college thesis on highway trips, and driving myself to (and from) a summer semester at UC Berkeley as explore. I guess I should have famous back then that I would conclude up writing about travel for a living!

I&#;ve taken two cross-country highway trips – one during college, and one when I moved to California.

I&#;ve also taken shorter road trips: New York to Florida, New York to Atlanta by way of Kentucky (state #44) and Tennessee, and Recent York to Michigan (state #43).

I spent a month living in a ghost town in Alaska for a writer&#;s retreat, and stayed on for an extra two weeks to travel the state with my partner, who flew out to Juneau to encounter me.

Closer to home, I loving taking weekend trips to cities and towns in the Hudson Valley, where I live.

I love the US – even if I don&#;t always like my country&#;s l

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 Optimal Cities to Visit?&#; by Adam Reid. Being a solo gay traveller, it caught my attention. 

Now, while I&#;m 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, I&#;ve travelled with Danny, Oriol, Steve, Philippe, Nicolas, Thanh, my sister Florence. In I wrote &#;SINGLES DAY | Why everyone should tour alone sometimes&#; and reading it back I notice the cringe but I stand by its content.  

It&#;s I should act a proper solo trip again soon(ish). I touch ready.
