Hiking the Finger Lakes – Our Taste for Life

by
Hiking the Finger Lakes - Our Taste for Life

Hiking the Finger Lakes region of New York is a magical experience. In this guide, guest blogger Polly Clover shares 15 of the best local hikes to help you plan your trip.

Bursting with natural beauty, this region in central New York is one of the most enchanting destinations I’ve ever visited. In fact, no New York itinerary is complete without visiting.

Why I love Hiking the Finger Lakes

I discovered the Finger Lakes during one of my east coast road trip adventures, and I was instantly blown away. With its expansive vineyards, incredibly kind locals, stunning vistas, and breathtaking waterfalls, what more could you ask for?

There are 11 Finger Lakes, with five main ones. They expand over 9,000 miles, so a car is necessary to explore the entire area! That said, my favourite way to explore this natural slice of heaven is on foot and hitting the trails.

From leisurely, short strolls to long, challenging hikes, there’s something for all kinds of nature lovers! Many are pet-friendly, some are great for children, and a few are adequate for pro hikers.

The Finger Lakes is one of my favourite places to visit on a New York to Florida road trip. In fact, this central New York region is one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been to.

From iconic state park falls to magical waterfalls off the beaten path, it’s easy to get lost chasing waterfalls in this beautiful region. But they’re not all worth visiting. That’s why I’ve compiled this list of those that shouldn’t be missed.

Keep reading for everything you need to know about Finger Lakes waterfalls, including when to go, entrance fees, and insider tips. I’ll also tell you the best way to take yourself on a tour of all the ocal falls.

Whether you’re traveling solo, with a partner or your family, there’s more here to enjoy than you might realize.

Europe Lesbian Winter Hotspots - Our Taste for Life

A winter city break in Europe is the perfect way to escape the cold-weather blues. Sure, it’s still chilly in places, freezing in fact. But I’ve come to realise that the season can be a truly magical time of year. In this article, I’ll be listing 16 of the best European city breaks that I guarantee will have you falling in love with the season like never before.

Until a few years ago, you would never hear me say anything nice about the season. Winter and I were not on good terms. It was cruel and harsh and unforgivable. It was only when I travelled full time that I began to appreciate the beauty of all the seasons.

European Lesbian Winter Hotspots

If you’re still not entirely sold on the idea of a December-January-February city break, do not worry. There are some incredible European lesbian winter hotspots that remain warm throughout the year. With this in mind, I’ll also be listing some sunny destinations in Europe too.

Here are 16 of the best cold season breaks in Europe.

Lesbian Chiang Mai, Thailand – Our Taste for Life

by
Lesbian Chiang Mai, Thailand - Our Taste for Life

Chiang Mai is one of the most liveable cities in Asia, but what is it like for us in lesbian Chiang Mai? We travelled to Chiang Mai to find out and found it to be one of the most gay-friendly cities in Thailand. With an abundant selection of gay and gay-friendly bars, nightclubs, hotels, cafes, and activities, gay Chiang Mai has a lot to offer LGBTQ+ travellers.

Don’t get me wrong, when you compare to gay Bangkok or Phuket, Chiang Mai’s gay scene is relatively tame. However, there is still plenty of fun to be had both during the day and at night. The gay scene aside, Chiang Mai is a cultural city, popular amongst backpackers, digital nomads and LGBTQ+ travellers alike.

What we love most about Chiang Mai is that it has all the perks of being in a city, such as great food, temples, nightlife, markets, cafes, and shops. But in as little as an hour, you can immerse yourself in nature. Escape into the jungle for hiking adventures and elephant sanctuaries, or go ziplining or cliff jumping at a nearby canyon.

It’s impossible not to fall in love with Chiang Mai. And this guide aims to provide you with all the information you need to have an unforgettable time. I’ve listed all of the hottest gay bars and nightclubs; gay-friendly hotels and hostels; the best LGBT+ centred events; as well as all the top things to see and do.

Is Lesbian Chiang Mai Safe for LGBT+ Travellers?

In short, absolutely yes! Thailand, in general, is one of the most gay-friendly countries we’ve ever visited. Here’s a statement from the Go Thai Be Free website:

“In Thailand, we believe that diversity is amazing. As the most LGBTQ+ welcoming country in Asia, we’re proud that the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans community – and all people – no matter how they identify; and whom they love; feel free when travelling in Thailand on vacation or holiday.”
