Traveling Souls
In these stories, pilgrimages reflect a search for purpose, simplicity, and constancy. As Pico Iyer explains, today’s travelers often embark on pilgrimages by proxy, walking in the footsteps of others to understand the inner and outer journeys that shape lives and histories. Ultimately, the destination is the journey itself
Lesbian Travels
Lesbian writers share intimate stories of their travels across the globe. From West Africa to Russia, and from Mexico to Alaska, these twenty literary pieces explore self-discovery, partnership, and the nuances of traveling as a lesbian woman. Audre Lorde’s awakening in Mexico and Judith Barrington’s humorous dilemmas in French hotels are just a glimpse into the rich, diverse experiences captured in this collection.
Gay Travels
Unlike traditional travel guides, this collection offers ‘inside narratives’ that reveal what it truly feels like to be a gay man in a foreign land. Through personal stories, the writers offer rich insights and experiences, much like friends sharing advice before a journey—insights that enhance the depth of your own adventures.
