If you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community, you know that travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how welcomed and safe you feel when you get there. That’s why Lonely Planet has created its first-ever standalone LGBTQ+ Travel Guide, a book with over 50 queer-friendly destinations worldwide.

But what makes this guide different? It’s written from a community-to-community perspective, featuring voices from LGBTQ+ locals who share their favourite spots beyond the usual tourist traps.

Guests: Chris Zeiher, Senior Director of Trade Sales and Marketing at Lonely Planet, and Pangina Heals drag performer, TV personality, and host of Drag Race Thailand
