Best vacations for gay couples
My love of road trips started early. 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 like me could find their fit.
I wrote my college thesis on road trips, and driving myself to (and from) a summer semester at UC Berkeley as research. I guess I should have known back then that I would end up writing about travel for a living!
I&#;ve taken two cross-country road trips – one during college, and one when I moved to California.

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?!
Yeah, that topic again. Explore is travel, 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.
