our values.

I’ve worked in outdoor recreation for over 5 years, and though I’ve enjoyed every second of it, I’ve always felt slightly out of place. I’ve never felt like I fit in with many of my collogues. I’ve never felt masculine enough, thin enough, straight enough… Even those who call themselves allies can make spaces feel unwelcoming if there are no intentional efforts made to create equity in those spaces. My dream with Out and About Travels was to create an organization that not only welcomed the queer community, but embraced every aspect of queer culture in an intersectional and ethical way.
