Description

Destination Pride offers colourful recommendations and practical tips to inspire your next LGBTQ travel adventure.    Over the past few decades, the LGBTQ travel landscape has undergone a sea change. From Cape Town to Copenhagen, and Taipei to Tel Aviv, destinations in just about every corner of the globe have become vibrant and inclusive gay meccas. From attending a queer film festival in Mumbai to watching a procession of Amsterdam canal boats during the world's only floating Pride Parade, award-winning LGBTQ author Andrew Collins recommends hundreds of both quirky and quintessential travel experiences. Find out about the swankiest hotel suites in Provincetown and London, the most fascinating queer history museums in Berlin and Fort Lauderdale, and the steamiest gay beaches in Mexico, Hawaii, Thailand and Australia.     Featuring illustrations by Manhattan-based artist Wenjia Tang, chapters are organised by theme – epic road trips, romance vacations, foodie adventures – and include dozens of invaluable tips, from how to spice up your vacation by choosing the right LGBTQ dating app to planning your same-sex destination wedding. You'll even find guidance on navigating those parts of the world where LGBTQ travellers still confront injustice and prejudice. But mostly, this book is a celebration of the pride and progress that continues to make it both safe and empowering for queer people to explore parts of every continent.   As covid-related travel restrictions gradually lift around the world, LGBTQ travellers will find that there's never been a better time to explore and be yourself.

Author Biography:

Andrew Collins has been writing about travel and food for a variety of both LGBTQ and mainstream magazines, websites and guidebook  publishers for the past 30 years. He also teaches travel and food writing online for Gotham Writers Workshop, in New York City. Congenitally incapable of sitting still, he spends more than half the year travelling, and has a particular fondness for national parks, offbeat small towns, and dive bars and roadside cafes. He usually travels with his wonderful partner, Fernando Nocedal, to whom he dedicates this book. He and Fernando divide their time between the Coyoacán district of Mexico City, where they reside with their two absurdly friendly cats, and a cottage on a tiny lake in rural New Hampshire, where they fall asleep at night to the haunting calls of loons and barred owls. You can find more of his work at AndrewsTraveling.com, and follow him on Instagram at TravelAndrew. Wenjia Tang is a freelance illustrator who graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2017. She was born in south-east China, and went to the United States for high school when she was 15. She loves all kinds of animals, and lives with a cat in Manhattan, New York. Her work has been recognised by American Illustration, Society of Illustrators, Communication Arts, AOI, 3x3 Magazine and more.
