This week, we dove into the messy, exhilarating, and human side of queer travel—sex, intimacy, loneliness, and connection—framed by World Sexual Health Day (September 4th). We explored how travel can be liberating, how to stay safe while embracing desire, and the ways meaningful connections can be formed on the road.

Travel is exciting, liberating… and sometimes complicated—especially for queer travelers. Inspired by World Sexual Health Day on September 4th, this blog dives into a side of travel we don’t talk about enough: intimacy, connection, and sexual health on the road. Beyond the beaches, cocktails, and sunsets, travel brings unique challenges around personal safety and meaningful connection. It’s an opportunity to explore the world, but also an opportunity to explore yourself. Navigating Local Laws and Cultural Attitudes on Sex and Relationships Sexual health and safety are a big part of traveling responsibly. Staying safe isn’t just about condoms, STI testing, or knowing your PrEP options—it’s also about understanding the laws and cultural norms of the places you visit. In some countries, same-sex relationships are criminalized, and public displays of affection—or even private consensual encounters—can carry serious risks. Other places may be more accepting legally but still hold conserva...

This week, I’ve been reflecting on what it really means to take up space while traveling as a queer person. It’s about more than packing, booking flights, or finding the perfect poolside spot—it’s about showing up in your body unapologetically and claiming spaces where you can feel safe, seen, and free. I explored these reflections in my post Taking Up Space: Queer Bodies on Vacation . Come Along Cruise — April 2026 If you’re craving a travel experience where taking up space and being fully yourself is celebrated, I’m hosting a Come Along Cruise in 2026: a 5-night adults-only LGBTQIA+ friendly trip aboard Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady from Miami to Riviera Maya, Mexico, and the Bahamas. Meet other LGBTQIA+ travelers, enjoy curated activities, and still have time to explore independently. 

This week, I’ve been thinking a lot about the small, radical joys of travel—especially for us LGBTQIA+ travelers. There’s something quietly magical about claiming your space in the world, whether that’s with a journal in your lap at 30,000 feet, or soaking up the Caribbean sun on a private balcony. Here’s a look back at what we explored this week: Joy at 30,000 Feet: Travel Tips for LGBTQIA+ — My personal airplane rituals, affirmations, and tips for turning every flight into a moment of joy and self-celebration.

This week, I’ve been exploring something I deeply believe: travel isn’t just about escaping—it’s about reclaiming. Reclaiming joy. Reclaiming freedom. Reclaiming your place in a world that sometimes feels off-limits. Whether it’s stepping into a destination that once felt unsafe, rocking swim trunks I never thought I’d wear, or traveling with people who just get it —travel can be a powerful act of showing up as your full self. Over the past few days, I’ve shared personal stories, invited you to join me on an unforgettable Virgin Voyages cruise, and asked one big question: What would you reclaim through travel? If you missed anything, here’s a recap: Not Just a Vacation, a Reclamation  — How travel can be more than just a getaway.
