How Do You Find the Best Gay Travel Destinations for Singles?

• 1. Decide How Much Interaction Are You Looking For

  The first thing to consider is how much interaction with others you desire. When you surrounded yourself with others, you have good interaction options. But, with today’s busy schedules and 24/7 connectivity, sometimes it’s nice to escape all of this. If your idea of a relaxing vacation is to snuggle with a book, visit some cultural institutions, or meditate at the beach, then every option in the World is open to you. You can pick a spot that interests you and just go. Our job is to find you the location that best meets your interests and find you the best deal.

  If interacting with others is a large part of your plan, then other considerations come into play. Things will be easier for you if you’re naturally outgoing and comfortable in new social settings. However, if you’re like most people, there is usually some discomfort in inserting yourself into unfamiliar social settings. If this is the case, then you can make it easier to meet new people by making a few early choices in determining where you want to spend your vacation.

• 2. Consider the Diversity of Large Cities

  One option is to pick a very large city as your destination. Many topnotch museums, performing arts organizations, and sporting clubs have singles mixers throughout the year. This gives you the option to enjoy some culture and meet locals with similar interests. The diversity of nightlife, cultural options, and people offered by big cities is another benefit. It increases the odds of being able to find others who share a specific interest, whether it be opera or kink, with yourself. It can be easier to strike up a conversation when you already know you have a shared interest with another. Finally, residents in big cities often know that they need to be direct in order to make contact with others. If you see a cute man/woman out at a bar, you better say hi now. Who knows if you’ll ever see them again?

• 3. Take Advantage of Resort Destinations Amenities

  Resort destinations are another option from which to to choose. With all the amenities that resort destinations usually offer, you can have an enjoyable vacation regardless of how many others you meet. But, when you’re in a spot where the bars and beaches are dominated by people on vacation, then there are several others that are also there without knowing anyone. The locals are also used to their social lives involving a rotating cast of whoever happens to be in town that week. This tends to make people more outgoing and willing to strike up a conversation.

  Also remember not to discount the gay charter companies and their cruises and land vacations. Some of their packages are set up more for couples and may not be the best option for those looking to hook up with others (well unless you’re looking for a thruple). But, some itineraries will be more social. Many of them offer singles dinners, dances, and other events that are set up to help you meet others. We can help you know what the vibe of the various options are. A few companies also have programs to help you find a roommate or are even starting to offer single’s rooms. We can help to match you up with one of these programs.

• 4. Visit Friendly Smaller and Mid-sized Gay Travel Destinations for Singles

  Finally, don’t forget smaller and mid-sized cities. It helps if they are large enough to have a gay bar, gay beach, or other place where the community gathers. With all the meet-up apps, this isn’t necessarily required if you are looking to hook up. But, it is nice to have options. Smaller cities also tend to be friendly by nature, and excited to see new blood in town. Mid-sized cities can also be surprisingly frisky.
