Gay single vacations

In September 2024Instagram pushed me a publish by Travel Gay, a website listing “the best homosexual bars, nightclubs, saunas, spas, beaches, shops and more, along with interesting commute ideas and fabulous offers”. There I saw the undated post (date your articles and posts, people) ‘LGBTQ+ Solo Travel: the Top Cities to Visit?‘ by Adam Reid. Being a solo gay traveller, it caught my attention. 

Now, while I’m still very much a homosexual, it has been a while since I last travelled solo. My last solo trip was Tel Aviv in 2018. Since then, I’ve travelled with Danny, Oriol, Steve, Philippe, Nicolas, Thanh, my sister Florence. In 2021 I wrote ‘SINGLES DAY | Why everyone should move alone sometimes‘ and reading it advocate I feel the cringe but I stand by its content.  

It’s 2024. I should execute a proper solo trip again soon(ish). I feel ready.

How to Find the Best Homosexual Vacations for Singles

Travel is a transformational activity that allows you to explore new places, encounter new cultures, see incredible architecture, natural wonders, and monuments, join new people, and sample delicious foods and cuisines. These experiences, of course, are almost always more pleasant and memorable when you can enjoy them with a friend, family member, or significant other.

But what do you do when you really long for to take a trip or visit a new place, but you don’t have a commute companion to join you?

SOLO TRAVELER SUCCESS TIPS

Each VACAYA trip is different, based on its type, its location, and the overall number of guests. So you’ll find that each has its own singular identity. However, each of our event types – Bliss (big-ship cruises), Oasis (resorts), and Luxe (small-ship cruises) – offers myriad opportunities to connect with other travelers.

The social bonds that happen on our trips is intense and can sometimes last a lifetime.

So what’s the top way to turn a “clique” into a “click” as a Solo Traveler? This is where your confidence comes into act –
