As a proud same-sex couple, we make a point of seeking out LGBTQ+ sites and establishments as part of our travels. We know that finding such places can sometimes be hard so we wanted to make this guide to ensure that you’d have a gay (as in happy, but also as in gay) day in the Big Apple. We know there’s places on here even New York City queers don’t readily know about. If you’re also a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you know that we often have to seek out our own history rather than count on it being taught to us. This guide isn’t limited to just sightseeing and eating or drinking – it’s also a LGBTQ+ history walking tour. If you’re an LGBTQ+ individual or ally living or visiting the Greenwich Village area of NYC, this is a great way to start patronizing LGBTQ+ owned businesses and learn from the city’s history. We wish we had something like this to follow years ago! Here’s what you’ll find inside: 🏳️‍🌈 4 Historical Sites 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌈 3 Memorials 📙 4 Art/ Resources / Shopping 🤤 3 LGBTQ+ Owned Food Spots 🍸 6 LGBTQ+ bars and clubs 🗺️ An interactive map of all locations This guide also contains a living map, so your unlocked guide will be updated as we continue to add more locations!

Marrakesh is not thought of as a "history" city as much as it is a gold mine of aesthetically pleasing sites. However, history can be found at every corner around the old city - called the Medina. If you're looking for a great guide to the historic sites of Marrakesh's old city! A few notes about this guide - the sites at the top start at the southern end of the Medina and work their way north. Additionally, there is a good mix of preserved sites and restored site - the Moroccan government and other private institutions have restored some sites to their full glory. While it may seem less "historically accurate", these preserved sites are just as worthwhile to visit. NOTE: I cannot verify sites will not be closed due to the earthquake. I have added some links to donate to charities assisting relief efforts in Morocco below.

A Weekend in a Uruguayan coastal town Colonia del Sacramento is one of the most beautiful, historic, and pleasantly surprising cities in the region. It is known for its unique colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and stunning views of the Rio de la Plata.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a city full of charm and history, known for its picturesque colonial architecture, with influences from Portuguese, Spanish, and Brazilian. I spent 40 hours in Colonia del Sacramento and want to give you the best insights for what to do in a day trip or a weekend in this Uruguayan coastal town. I'll offer tips on both what to do and where to eat, as well as general tips for spending time in Uruguay.
