A Couple of Men Gay Travel News Worldwide: We are living in a time of almost unlimited travel opportunities. But not all of them are gay-friendly, safe and welcoming for the LGBTQ+ community. What is meant to be a gay-friendly destination can be the opposite just a couple of weeks later and the way around? We are happy to celebrate equality achievements like equal rights for marriage, adoption, but also in the latest (social) media and social life to never forget where we come from, beginning with the Stonewall Riots in New York City.
With our Couple of Men Gay Travel News Worldwide, we try to spot the latest travel news from all over the world to keep you posted and updated about the changes in your current and future gay travel plans. If you have any news for us worth spreading the word in and outside the queer community, send us an email and/or drop us a line on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Follow us on our Couple of Men Gay Travel News Worldwide and stay tuned. See you around the world!
❤️

It does not matter where the news comes from: the main focus stays on Europe, the Netherlands, and Amsterdam, our home base. We try to keep an eye on news from our friends in Asia, North and South America, Africa and the Middle East but also Down Under Australia and New Zealand. The LGBT community has no borders for us. Representing an open minded and a gay-friendly way of living, traveling and working is the best way was for us to support us all around the world. Because in the end, #lovewins. Stay updated with our Couple of Men Gay Travel News Worldwide.
