Best gay getaways

I’ve taken two cross-country road trips – one during college, and one when I moved to California.
I’ve also taken shorter road trips: Brand-new York to Florida, Recent York to Atlanta by way of Kentucky (state #44) and Tennessee, and New 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 explore the state with my spouse, who flew out to Juneau to meet 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 laws and policies.
I eventually did turn my love of travel into a job, by t
Best Places for Lgbtq+ 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.

In September 2024Instagram pushed me a upload by Travel Gay, a website listing “the best lgbtq+ bars, nightclubs, saunas, spas, beaches, shops and more, along with interesting journal ideas and fabulous offers”. There I saw the undated post (date your articles and posts, people) ‘LGBTQ+ Solo Travel: the Finest 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 2018.

In 2021 I wrote ‘SINGLES DAY | Why everyone should explore alone sometimes‘ and reading it assist I feel the cringe but I stand by its content.
It’s 2024. I should undertake a proper solo trip again soon(ish). I feel ready.
