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 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.

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 investigate the state with my partner, who flew out to Juneau to see me.

In September Instagram pushed me a upload by Travel Gay, a website listing &#;the best gay bars, nightclubs, saunas, spas, beaches, shops and more, along with interesting tour ideas and fabulous offers&#;. There I saw the undated post (date your articles and posts, people) &#;LGBTQ+ Solo Travel: the Leading Cities to Visit?&#; by Adam Reid. Being a solo gay traveller, it caught my attention.
