I’m super pumped to announce that I’ve teamed up with gay travel bloggers Two Bad Tourists and 16 other bloggers for the #MyGayPride European Tour. The campaign – the brainchild of David Brown and Auston Matta – will see a team of 17 LGBTQ and straight-allied writers and bloggers, plus 100 ambassadors, attend gay pride events around the world and share their stories via social media. Our media sponsor Gay Star Travel will be joining us at eight European prides – Riga, Barcelona, Berlin, Cologne, Ibiza, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Benidorm – with a further 50 prides in 20 countries attended by #MyGayPride ambassadors....

Note: This post originally appeared on She’s Wanderful. I’ve spent most of my summer on tour with Gay Star News for the #MyGayPride campaign. Pride is one part celebration and one-part community gathering, with a dash of protest. Despite what the media tells straight people, its focus is not all leathermen, hooking up, and finding the best sex toys and lube. Although, that is part of it. I came away from a month of back-to-back Pride celebrations eager to find unique travel content for my audience. There are only so many ways you can cover pride festivals around the...

2015 Year in Review

Posted by Meg Cale | Dec 23, 2015 | Blogging Tips, Entertainment, Queer Culture, Travel |

2015 has been one hell of a year. For me, it was mixed with some pretty extreme highs and lows. I’ve spent the last year relocating pretty much constantly while building my blog, scraping by financially and maintaining my long-term relationship. I can’t lie, it’s been one of the toughest I can remember. Building a business while constantly on the go is no small feat. While I’ve struggled in my personal life, this year has been one of the best for me professionally. My blog finally started to make some money. By June I had already hit some of...

REVIEW: LGBT Friendly Generator Hostel

Posted by Meg Cale | Nov 2, 2015 | Europe, France, Germany, Hotels, Travel |

Europe is one of the most popular destinations for students studying abroad, folks doing their gap year and young travelers on a budget. Despite its popularity, Europe can be a wildly expensive destination for budget travelers. Staying in youth hostels is a great option for young people looking to meet other travelers and keep to a budget. While I was in Europe this summer on the #MyGayPride tour with Gay Star News and my favorite gay boy bloggers I was sponsored by Generator Hostels for the Barcelona and Paris leg of my adventures. To be honest, I’m not the budget...

Obsessed: Berlin Street Art

Posted by Meg Cale | Sep 9, 2015 | Europe, Germany, Lesbian Travel Guide, Queer Culture, Travel |

Berlin is the queer capital of Europe. It reminds me a bit of Brooklyn. I even tweeted that NYC had some competition when I was in Berlin. There isn’t one “Gayborhood” because queer culture has spread throughout the city. I was in town during my #MyGayPride tour and got to explore the Lesbish-Schwules StraBenfest (lesbigay street festival) with 350,000 of my closest friends. It was an outdoor street fair with tons of food, bars and vendors. It’s the street fair that leads up to Berlin’s Christopher Street Day. CSD is the German name for Pride which is one part...
