Hotel Erwin - Gay Friendly Venice Beach Hotel

Oceanfront Gay Friendly Venice Beach Hotel Close to Restaurants, Shops

Venice is different. Sure, it’s California, but it’s an area of California unlike any other; an area that Hotel ERWIN has personified since the ‘70s with its eclectic décor, friendly staff, and predominant location right on the beach and adjacent to the world-famous Venice Beach Boardwalk. 

From our gay friendly Venice Beach Hotel, it’s just an 8-minute walk to trendy restaurants/shops on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, and a 10-minute walk to the Venice Canals.

Our colorful rooms feature fun artwork, flat-screen TVs, plus private balconies, some with city or partial ocean views. We also offer suites with separate living and dining areas.

We even offer bikes for guest use!

Super Cool Geology in Mammoth, California – 2TravelDads

Super Cool Geology in Mammoth, California - 2TravelDads

Check Out Some Super Cool
Geology in Mammoth With the 2TravelDads

Mammoth Lakes, California has so much cool geology to experience. It’s a great ski and hiking destination, but there are lots of hot springs and earth phenomena that make the region itself a fascinating place to visit. A trip to Mammoth Lakes is a lesson in geologic time and science!

I love being a geology nerd. Geology rocks! We incorporate as many scientific activities and sights in our travels as possible. It’s one of the ways we make sure the learning continues, either during summer break or when we pull the kids from school for travel. The geology in Mammoth Lakes are AWESOME for either sightseeing or learning. Here are eleven spots to experience earth science at Mammoth.

My mind is blown when I think about geologic time, and one of the coolest things about visiting Mammoth Lakes is how visible it is there. Geologic sites abound and you can literally see moments in time and the progression of geologic history. California’s mountain towns, like Mammoth, are built very near some of the most active parts of the earth’s crust. I love it!

Informed by my own personal experiences traveling the world, I’ve developed one of the most exhaustive lists of safety tips for travelers.

Visiting many notoriously dangerous cities, these safety strategies have helped me stay out of trouble and navigate some particularly sticky situations.

I’ll share all these tips by category as well as safety with respect to situational awareness, protecting your possessions, ATM safety, fraud protection, and more.

Visiting Gay Milan, A First Timer’s Guide – The Nomadic Boys

Visiting Gay Milan, A First Timer’s Guide

Followers of UK/Canada Drag Race will relate…one of our favorites drag queens always inspired a sort of spiritual gay wanderlust to the Italian fashion capital.

And for good reason. Gay Milan is world famous for its fashion. It’s a global capital when it comes to its runways and catwalks. What we didn’t know is that Milan also has a pretty epic gay scene – the largest and best in all of Italy and one of our favorites gay friendly cities in Europe.

Hop off at the Puerto Venezia metro stop, dolled up with rainbows, and head up to the streets around Lecco – gayness is everywhere! On weekends these streets come alive as the LGBTQ community comes together and creates a fabulous street party. That’s why we love it. Few gay scenes we’ve experienced have such a vibe outside of Pride.

Exploring Gay Williamsburg, Virginia With Kids

Living history is something we LOVE experiencing together and Colonial Williamsburg is THE spot for it. A part of what’s called the Historic Triangle, This historic village is basically a snapshot in time, just before the start of the Revolutionary War. Visiting gay Williamsburg with kids is wonderful because it gives them a real life understanding of America 300 years ago, and visiting as adults is both educational and just a beautiful, relaxing time.

While it might not seem like it initially, Williamsburg is actually a big vacation destination / resort area. From glamping in a yurt at the KOA to staying at the Historic Williamsburg Lodge, you’ll find the full gamut of hotels and accommodations.

If you plan it properly, you can even arrange to stay within the historic preservation area. At the Brick House Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg, you can rent rooms, just like in its tavern days of the 18th century!

Two Weeks in Lesbian Malaysia – Our Taste for Life

Two Weeks in Lesbian Malaysia - Our Taste for Life

2 Weeks in Lesbian Malaysia – The Best Malaysia Itinerary

2 weeks in lesbian Malaysia is a good amount of time to appreciate all this beautiful country has to offer. In this guide, I’ll be sharing a recommended two-week Malaysia Itinerary, including the best places to visit, where to eat, sleep, & party, as well as all of our top tips for visiting.

When it comes to the best South East Asia travel destinations, Malaysia is a country that rarely makes the hotlist. Sure, it might not be as wild as Thailand or as trendy as Bali, but after spending quite some time backpacking in Malaysia, I can confidently say that it is fiercely underrated.

The thing we love most about Malaysia is its diversity. It is a cultural melting pot, and the multi-ethnic influence of Malay, Indian, Chinese and European concocts a culture (and cuisine) unlike no other in the region. There’s also an abundance of things to see and do. From pulsating urban cities and charming heritage towns to sweeping rainforests and pristine islands, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
