Every gay traveler, at one point, looked up at a rainbow and dreamt of seeing the world. ‘There must be somewhere greater than this drab old town?'…each of us often wondered in our respective beige suburbs growing up…
Fast forward 20 years, and we're both living our dream of seeing the world, one amazing continent at a time. Europe is hands down our favorite. We are biased, of course, as this is where we're from – Stefan is British/Greek Cypriot, and Seby is from France.

My love of road trips started adv. As a teenager growing up in a suburb of Boston, I discovered Jack Kerouac&#;s classic road trip novel On the Road. The book opened a door to queer history and to places where offbeat weirdos enjoy me could detect their fit.
I wrote my college thesis on road trips, and driving myself to (and from) a summer semester at UC Berkeley as verb. I guess I should have known back then that I would conclude up writing about travel for a living!
I&#;ve taken two cross-country road trips – one during college, and one when I moved to California.
