Queer people spend around $100 billion annually on travel, and are twice as likely as the general population to hold a passport. In short, they love to travel!

Despite their lavish spending, queer travelers are often underserved. They are either overlooked when it comes to travel guides, or are encouraged to stick to a handful of "safe" destinations. This conventional wisdom doesn't build their confidence or validate their identities. Nor does it teach them how to advocate for themselves as travelers or plan off-the-beaten-path adventures to new places. And, with the advent of anti-LGBTQ+ policies across the United States and elsewhere, travel has become more fraught than ever for queer individuals.


Weaving personal experience with data and interviews, (Out) On the Road empowers LGBTQ+ travelers to face their fears, expand their comfort zones, find community, and thrive on the road. This book provides readers with a framework for planning travel, navigating risks, and becoming self-reliant. Written in a tone that centers female and nonbinary points of view, (Out) On the Road offers a deep dive into the queer travel experience.

An avid chronicler of her many travels, Lindsey Danis has visited all fifty states, plus Puerto Rico, and twenty-eight countries. Her travel writings have appeared in publications including Condé Nast Traveler, Fodor's, Business Insider, USA Today, The Albany Times-Union, Longreads and Eater. Lindsey's essays have received a notable mention in Best American Travel Writing. In 2021, Lindsey founded Queer Adventurers, a travel blog for LGBTQ+ people. Lindsey received a BA in English from Vassar College and an MFA in Fiction from Emerson College and lives in Upstate New York.
