Gay solo travel destinations
Backpacking is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that opens you up to the world and allows you to experience new things no matter who or where you are. It can be challenging for every type of traveler, but as an LGBT traveler, there are a handful of unique challenges.

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 commute alone sometimes&#; and reading it back I undergo the cringe but I stand by its content.
