explore the outdoors. examine queer history.

Discover Yourself.

We believe that every outdoor space should be a safe queer space.

However, for a rainbow of different reasons, queer people across the nation lack access to safe outdoor experiences. Out and About Travels is here to bridge that gap and make the outdoors a safe, gay haven! Our mission has three distinct branches:

  • Explore the Outdoors

    We believe that being in nature is vital to living a happy, healthy life; however, we know that many people in the LGBTQ+ community lack access to the outdoors. Out and About seeks to create a community that makes being in nature as safe, fun, inclusive, and accessible as possible.

  • Examine Queer History

    Each Out and About trip takes the opportunity to discuss different aspects of queer history and advocacy. We believe that every LGBTQ+ individual needs an understanding of our collective past before they can actively contribute to our community today. Our goal is to help our clients examine our past, then take what they’ve discovered and apply it to their lives and communities.

  • Discover Yourself

    Every Out and About trip is an opportunity to discover new sides to yourself and expand your skills. We want to create a space where each client feels comfortable to be vulnerable with their peers, develop new skills, explore new areas of their personalities, and build lifelong communities. We believe that the outdoors is the best place to start looking inward.
