Check Out the Top Gay Travel Bloggers
Whether it is their cheeky personalities or great makeup tips and recipes, bloggers give us someone real to connect and relate to on a personal level. When it comes to travel, bloggers are especially important. You do not want to follow some cheesy travel website that attractions, hotels and restaurants pay to be a part of and give incentives for reviews. If you want to get the real feel for what a place is like, get practical travel tips and discover places you would not have thought otherwise, following travel bloggers is the best strategy, and we have some recommendations for the top gay travel bloggers.
The LGBTQ+ community knows more than any other traveler that bloggers are essential—especially gay travel bloggers. Parts of the world can still be openly hostile towards the gay community, and some places are much more accepting and fun than others for LGBTQ+ people. Gay travel bloggers give us a firsthand account of what it is like to be LGBTQ+ in places all over the world.
