Emily / 26 / Cinque Terre, Italy
“My beautiful girlfriend, Jess, and I took our first holiday together to Italy this June. We hiked along the coastal paths of Cinque Terre (where the photo was taken), then recuperated in Milan and ended with a few lovely days in Venice.
I’ve travelled a lot on my own before but it was infinitely better to be with her. It always is. Here’s to many more adventures together!”
Geneva / 25 / Minneapolis, MN
“I didn’t really get to go on any fun vacations this summer, but Minneapolis has tons of parks to explore, so I’ve been doing that in my free time as much as possible.”
Giselle and Olivia / 23, 25 / Gifford Pinchot National Forest, WA
“We went on our first camping trip together!”
Jamie / 30/ Livermore,CA
“Putting the BAE in baywatch.”
Veronica and Abigail/ 24, 22 / Mañaria, Spain
“Veronica has waged a years-long, entirely successful campaign to get Abigail to like walking. It has paid off in spades and we summited multiple mountains! Unfortunately, Abigail was less excited about sunscreen application than she was about walking and is now bright red.”
Megan / 27 / Orlando, FL
“This is the most unapologetic, unflatteringly honest photo of my entire essence. I am unironically wearing a Margaritaville shirt and a BEES hat, which is a fake softball team my friends and I made up so that we could order fun hats for my friend’s birthday a couple years ago. These hats are wonderful for finding each other in theme parks. We went to this mini golf place between checking out of our rental home and heading to the airport.”
Roxy / 26 / Puerto Rico
Priscilla Kennedy / 28 / Mount Hood, OR
“Mini Weekend getaway to Oregon with my beautiful wife for her cousin’s wedding! Awesome time with amazing people!! Loved Portland!”
MB Stanton / 30 / Bellingham, WA
“Here we find this city queer perched up like the tree king they actually are, on an natural rooted seat in the middle of a forest.”
Tracy Buchholz / 38 / Glen Onoko Falls Trail in Jim Thorpe, PA
“Spent the summer of 2017 checking out every hiking spot my gay buddies and I could find in the Northeast. Great friends, great exercise, incredible views (and waterfalls). Up in August… Whitewater rafting!”
