Travel in Pride

30/03/2026

I was convinced there was no way I’d sleep on a moving train…

and then somehow? I did. 😅
Boarded in Edinburgh skeptical.

Woke up rolling into London… unreal.
Is it luxury? No.

Is it perfect? Not really.

But getting even a few hours of sleep while traveling and not losing a full day of your trip?
That part makes it worth it.
The Caledonian Sleeper is definitely an experience… and one I’d do again.
Have you ever slept on a train? 🚆👇

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on Pride Scout, a new app designed to consolidate LGBTQ-friendly destinations, events, nightlife, and tours (plus weather and hotel estimates) all in one place. We’re getting close to a full release, but I need some help from this community to stress-test the features and break things before we go live!

The Commitment
I’m looking for testers who can jump in for just 3–5 minutes, a few times a week, for the next 2 weeks. Of course, you’re welcome to use it as much as you like beyond that!

The "Mission" (If you choose to accept it):
We really want to test the limits of our saving and bookmarking system. Here is what we need you to try:

The Trip Limit: Try to save 75 trips to see if the 76th one triggers correctly.

The "Collection" Test: Try to bookmark exactly 8 hotels, 8 bars, and 9 tours—then see if the app lets you grab that 10th tour!

The Social Test: Use the share feature to send a destination or plan to a friend.

Other Features: Do all the searches work, do the links to the trusted sites work

Event Alerts: Pretend to plan a trip during World Pride to Europe and see if it pops up; or a trip to Tokyo during Rainbow Pride!

NO PURCHASES. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BOOK A TRIP AND THERE IS NO SUBSCRIPTIONS OR FEES FOR THE APP

Why help?
As a traveler, your expertise is unmatched. I want to make sure this tool actually works for us in the real world—whether you’re looking for a quiet boutique hotel or the best circuit party.

Interested? Drop a comment below or send me a DM and I’ll get you the invite link for the Beta! Please let me know if you are on iOS or Android.

Happy travels! ✈️✨

Phantasialand’s Wintertraum is pure magic, but here’s the reality for the big & tall crew. 🎡✨
At 5'10" and 280 lbs, I’ll be honest: it’s not the most plus-size friendly experience. Raik was definitely one of the tougher fits for me! 😅 But even with some uncomfy moments, a $35 ticket for this level of production and those fireworks is an absolute steal. 🎆
Worth the squeeze? 100%.

“I’m in a corner…” keeps playing — but the corners keep changing.
Pride parades. Christmas markets. Theme parks. Airports.
Turns out solo travel looks a lot like freedom when you stop waiting for someone else to join you.

The true 'Love Language' of a seasoned traveler isn't quality time—it's that email notification confirming the booking is locked in. You know the feeling: the immediate relaxation mixed with the adrenaline of knowing the annual festivities are about to start. We’re in the final planning stages for the big end-of-season gathering, and honestly, the pre-trip spreadsheet organizing is half the fun. If you know, you know. Drop your favorite pre-flight ritual below if you understand the assignment! 👇 ReadyToEscape

A quick look back at my favorite moments from 2025. This year was defined by three distinct travel experiences: Mastering cabin life and discovering itinerary secrets on the high seas, perfecting the park strategy for adults-only days in Orlando, and diving deep into the festive season by finding the most incredible hidden stalls and local secrets across Germany, France, and the UK.

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is that Christmas moment 🎄✨
Lights, rides, markets, food, and full festive chaos — all in the heart of London.
If winter travel is on your list, this one is a must.

Heavenue was hands down one of my favorite Christmas markets I visited. 🎄🌈
Right near the cathedral, great energy, welcoming vibes, and the Heaven or Hell Glühwein Haus sealed the deal for me. 😅

If you’re in Cologne during the holidays, this one is a must. Cozy, festive, and just fun to be in.
