I am an LGBTQ travel writer, author, and journalist.

I write about queer joy, queer liberation, and claiming space. 

My book (Out) On the Road: The Radical Joy of Queer Travel, is available wherever books are sold.

(Out) On the Road is a New Kind of Travel Book.

Queer travelers deserve more than “Is it safe?” We deserve to navigate the world, explore, and claim our queer travel joy. 

(Out) On the Road: The Radical Joy of Queer Travel is a practical, by-us for us guide to travel with more ease, joy, and authenticity. With a mix of personal stories and practical tips, this book will teach you how to research destinations, plan affirming adventures, and confidently travel to anywhere you long to explore.

What I Write About

I write in a variety of formats: narrative nonfiction, fiction, essays, and service journalism. In each format, I’m interested in LGBTQ+ travel, queer joy, and food beyond the plate: who brought the food to you, and how meals create a sense of welcome and belonging. 

I’ve written for AFAR, AAA, Fodor’s, Eater, Longreads, and Adventure.com, among other places. Read my best stuff.
