Longer bio:

Hi, I’m Lindsey. I empower LGBTQ+ travelers to understand their needs and plan incredible adventures while feeling seen, heard, and supported.

My LGBTQ travel writing has appeared in AFAR, Condé Nast Traveler, and GayCities and received a notable mention in Best American Travel Writing.

I’m the founder of the LGBTQ+ travel blog Queer Adventurers and a contributing editor to RestaurantOwner.com.

I’m also the author of (Out) On the Road: How Queer Travel is Different and Why it Matters, which teaches LGBTQ+ travelers how to plan affirming, joyful trips. It’s due out next year.

My writing has been recognized in Best American Travel Writing and anthologized in The Best New True Crime Stories and Nourishing Resistance: Stories of Food, Protest, and Mutual Aid.

Originally from Boston, I now live in the Hudson Valley with my partner and two dogs. I have an MFA from Emerson College and a BA from Vassar College.

When I’m not writing, I love to cook, hike, and kayak.

Any questions? Contact me.
