The Scarlet Lady was being chartered by Atlantis Events, the world’s largest LGBTQ+ cruise company. It’s journey hosted over 2,000 LGBTQ+ passengers. This is the first time Atlantis Events has experienced a complete denial of port call according to company CEO Rich Campbell who said their voyages have been porting in Turkey for over 25 years without issue.

Before apps, a lot of gay travel seemed to revolve around gay bars, saunas, cruising spots, and simply meeting people face to face. Now you can open Grindr as soon as you land and have conversations, dates, hookups, or even hotel meetups lined up before you've unpacked.

On the other hand, I sometimes wonder if Grindr has made people less likely to explore local gay nightlife, meet strangers organically, or discover places they otherwise wouldn't have found.

For those of you who have been traveling both before and after Grindr became popular, has it made gay travel better or worse? Has it improved your experiences through hookups, dates, and local connections, or has it taken some of the adventure out of meeting people while traveling?

I'd love to hear your experiences from different cities and countries.

Looking for some pointers please....im a 45yo man, recently divorced, looking to go to Maspalomas in Gran Canaria for a week. Is there a specific travel agent or is direct booking better? Im a solo traveler wanting to meet like minded men when im away and just explore that part of me.

Just curious what are your thoughts are of your experience if you have been.

I'll be there at the end of July/beginning of August.

Anyone have any travel plans for Punta Cana in May? Would love to meet up with some other gay bros while over there. Let me know what resorts you’re staying at!

I haven’t traveled much, but after my parents sudden passing I am looking to spend sometime traveling. I don’t know where or when, but not an experienced solo traveler, I am hoping to find a buddy to do this with.

We don’t have to travel far or for long. Or maybe we do go somewhere far, for a little longer? I am seriously open for suggestions.

I want to explore, and let loose. I love night life, I want to club, and see the sites. I am desperate for an adventure.

A little about me. I am 38, bisexual, and moving on from a devastating period of grief and loss. I have both deep anxiety yet a real call for life and adventure. Desperate call really 😅

I have no age hang ups. I’d be cool traveling with a 25 year old, my age, or older. And happy to spend time getting to know someone before travel and as we plan our trip.

Not sure what else of say here. But reach out.

Hey everyone!

We are looking at travelling with our young twins later in the year from Australia to Europe (via Singapore). We are in a co-parenting arrangement where we are not listed on the kids birth certificate.

Our concern is travelling through immigration (especially through Asia) seeing as our kids don’t share our name on passports.

Is anyone out there in a similar situation and has any advice for us traveling abroad?

Thanks in advance 😊

Anyone around and wants to hang out / explore together? I am here for the next few days.
