36 - Life as a Lesbian Traveler with Allyssa Leaton
Manage episode 358824952 series 3365369
Hi darlings! Welcome back to another episode of the While She's Away Podcast!
On this weeks episode we are talking about what it means to be a queer traveler. I haven't shared much about my sexuality on this podcast, but I identify as bisexual (or possbily pansexual- still figuring that out), but I thought it was really important to release an episode about what being a queer traveler can be like because representation matters!
I will say I am fully aware that Allyssa's experience as a lesbian traveler is not all-encompassing of what every LGBTQ+ person will experience on their travelers.
I had a lovely conversation with Allyssa Leaton! Allyssa is a fellow solo traveling girlie in her 20's. She's currently venturing her way through Latin America. Allyssa is a proud member of the (L)GBTQ+ community and is eager to share her experiences about traveling as a queer woman with you! A goal of hers is to create and share content including things such as what countries are the safest and most accepting for LGBTQ+ travelers, what dating and affection is like as a queer traveler in foreign countries, and overall bringing representation to the heteronormative travel lifestyle.
