Book Description
Queer people like me are twice as likely as the general population to hold a passport, according to Community Marketing & Insights. And while my partner and I joke about our ability to flee the country if the laws that protect us are overturned, the truth is, queer people adore travel. In fact, we spend around $100 billion a year on trips, according to Skift.
Despite our lavish spending, queer travelers are underserved. We’re either overlooked or encouraged to stick to a handful of “safe” destinations. This conventional wisdom doesn’t build our confidence or validate our identities. Nor does it teach us how to advocate for ourselves as travelers, or plan off-the-beaten-path adventures to new places. (Out) On the Road does these things through a blend of personal storytelling, research and interviews. Written in a by-us, for-us tone that centers female and nonbinary points of view, (Out) On the Road is a deep dive into the queer travel experience.
