<p>What does it mean to travel as your full self when the world isn't always built with you in mind? In this special edition episode, I'm joined by journalist and author Lindsey Danis to celebrate the release of their debut book, <i>(Out) On The Road: The Radical Joy of Queer Travel</i> (Ig Publishing) — and we get into all of it.</p><p></p><p>Lindsey is a queer writer whose work has appeared in AFAR, Fodor's, Condé Nast Traveler, Longreads, Eater, and more, and this book is the kind of thing the travel world has genuinely needed. We talk about what it took to write it, what they learned from years of reporting on LGBTQ+ travel around the world, and why queer joy on the road is, in itself, a radical act.</p><p></p><p>Chapter List:</p><p>00:00 Introduction to the Conversation</p><p>02:26 Celebrating the Launch of 'Out on the Road'</p><p>05:06 Exploring the Book's Unique Approach</p><p>10:47 Understanding the Queer Travel Experience</p><p>15:12 The Radical Joy of Queer Travel</p><p>20:30 Navigating Personal Identity While Traveling</p><p>25:07 Personal Stories and Their Impact</p><p>29:12 Empowerment Through Travel</p><p>32:19 The Emotional Journey of Writing a Book</p><p></p><p>This podcast is hosted by Beth Santos, founder and CEO of Wanderful and author of Wander Woman: How to Reclaim Your Space, Find Your Voice, and Travel the World, Solo.
