Most queer travel advice plays it safe. This LGBTQ travel book doesn’t.
(Out) On the Road is a New Kind of LGBTQ Travel Book
LGBTQ+ people are more likely to travel than the average American.
But when it comes to actually planning those trips?
We’re left connecting dots, second-guessing decisions, and working with generic advice that isn’t written with us in mind.
As a result, it takes us longer – up to 12 hours – to plan vacations.
That’s why I wrote (Out) On the Road: The Radical Joy of Queer Travel, the practical, no-BS guide to LGBTQ travel, available everywhere.
The real question isn’t “Is it safe to go there if I’m LGBTQ?”
It’s:
- How do I know what safety looks and feels like, so I can decide for myself?
- What’s different for someone with my identity?
- How do I build confidence to travel more like myself, without second guessing or hiding?
- Where can I find queer community that isn’t a gay bar?
(Out) On the Road answers all these questions and many more.
What makes this LGBTQ travel book different from most?
You won’t find lists of safe destinations or queer city guides. Instead, you’ll find something more valuable: resources, tools and advice you can use to plan bold adventures to anywhere you want to explore.
You’ll learn how to:
- Research any destination through an LGBTQ+ lens
- Build a travel safety plan that fits your identity and travel style
- Make travel decisions with clarity instead of anxiety
- Travel in a way that feels honest, expansive, and joyful
Built from years of queer travel, reporting, and conversations with LGBTQ+ travelers across identities, this LGBTQ travel book goes beyond surface-level advice and gives you the tools most of us were never taught.
