A Perfect Weekend in Lesbian Asheville – 3 Day Itinerary

If you’re planning the ultimate weekend in lesbian Asheville, you’re in the right place! In this guide, guest blogger Polly Clover shares a perfect 3 Day Asheville weekend itinerary filled with outdoor adventure, cultural experiences, and delicious food.

Along with Charleston, SC, Asheville is one of my favourite places to spend a long weekend. I love its laid-back vibe, welcoming locals, and fun activities.

There are so many different things to see and do packed into a somewhat small city, which makes it an ideal destination for all kinds of travellers.

In fact, I’ve gone to Asheville alone as well as with family, friends, and my partner. All experiences were unique and memorable!

This beautiful western North Carolina mountain city is most known for the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Biltmore Estate. It’s also home to some of the best craft beer, a vibrant art scene, and friendly people.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing vacation, a romantic getaway, an exciting adventure, or a North Carolina road trip, Asheville is the perfect place to go.

Visiting Gay Playa del Carmen - 2TravelDads

We know how to do a beach day. I mean, we live at the beach, but what do you do when you’re in a beach destination without kids? And what if it’s a beach destination that also has non-beach stuff that is pulling you away from the surf? Playa del Carmen is just that. Here’s how to plan an amazing trip to gay Playa del Carmen and do more than the beach.

If you’re unfamiliar, Playa del Carmen is on Mexico’s east coast, on the Caribbean, and part of the Yucatan Peninsula. It’s very different from the west coast or Baja California. Playa del Carmen still has the huge hotels (and it’s close to Cancun, so yeah), but it’s also very chill. It is an awesome Caribbean destination for getting close to nature AND having beach fun.

Travel to Gay Playa del Carmen

Many people who head to the Yucatan Peninsula are venturing to Cancun, but just south of Cancun are Tulum and Playa del Carmen, and to the north is Isla Holbox. You need to fly into Cancun (CUN) to start your trip to Playa del Carmen. You can also fly into Cozumel and then ferry over to Playa del Carmen, but that’s extra time and a lot of extra money (most likely, flights aren’t cheap).

The Varosi Ghost Town in Cyprus – Nomadic Boys

Varosi Ghost Town - The Nomadic Boys

Visiting the Varosi Ghost Town in Cyprus

“That would have been my home if things turned out differently”.

Staring at the dilapidated and abandoned buildings in the Varosi ghost town of Famagusta in Northern Cyprus, my uncle points at a specific block of apartments set right on the beachfront (cordoned off by the Turkish military) and told me it belonged to my family.

In an alternative reality, this would have been where I would have grown up.

Every time I see the famed ghost town in Northern Cyprus I always wonder, “What if the Turkish invasion had worked out differently and I grew up herea as a gay man on the Famagusta beachfront instead of suburbia North London?”

In the summer of 1974, Turkish troops invaded Northern Cyprus and displaced 170,000 Greek Cypriots, which included all of my family. Most displaced Greek Cypriots either moved to Southern Cyprus or to the UK (Cyprus was a former British colony). My family was part of the large influx of Greek Cypriot refugees that fled to London.

What to See When Visiting Gay Brighton, England

When it comes to gay destinations in the UK, the iconic and vibrant seaside town of Gay Brighton easily ranks in the top 3 places for LGBTQ travellers to head to – its reputation as a gay destination precedes itself being known as the unofficial gay capital of the UK rivalling the likes of Manchester, the gay capital of the North.

This seaside resort town has a lot to offer for LGBTQ travellers and quite frankly any traveller alike. Whether you are looking to experience one of the largest Pride celebrations in the UK which hosts some seriously big names (Britney, Christina and Kylie have performed), experience the nightlife in Brighton, relax on the gay beach or simply explore the lively town, surrounding coast or picturesque countryside, Brighton has something for everyone.

Just an hour by train from London, anyone visiting the UK should definitely add Brighton to their travel list. Here is everything you might need to know.
