There is an endless world out there to explore. No matter what your interests are or the geographical regions you enjoy the most, there is something for everyone and then some to say the least. Sometimes wherever you are going, you may want to stay somewhere or with someone that is part of the local gay culture that you are traveling to. From wanting to feel welcomed and make real connections with people to being able to be yourself freely and every other reason in between. Misterb&b has developed a wonderful platform to do just that for LGBTQ travelers. It’s a fantastic resource to be able to add to your arsenal of booking platforms for your travels.
So what is the overall premise of misterbnb? In today’s world, the LGBTQ community has overcome some major hurdles and depending on the geographic region you live, the culture and community is part of the everyday regular way of life just the same as having coffee in the morning, just the way a cultured society should be. However, there are some areas where you just may not be sure of how welcomed you might feel per say at certain bed and breakfasts, hotels or rental properties. This was the primary reason that misterbnb was developed and has become one of the most beloved travel resources for the LGBTQ community. Besides that, the additional benefit is that you are able to meet some of the most amazing people around the world that just so happen to also be the host of the property you are staying at.
We have a barrage of resources at our fingertips these days when we are looking for properties to stay at when we are planning our next trip and also an endless supply of ways to book them as well. However until recently, you never were really able to search for properties that identified themselves as being a welcoming property to experience fantastic gay hospitality. Well now you can. Yes of course there are different platforms that feature some properties here and there and are proud supporters of the gay community themselves, which is commendable in its own right, but this platform is the one of the only options where they primarily focus on gay travelers looking to have a wonderful experience that they themselves want to identify among the local community with.
Besides this travel resource being a wonderful tool to find the type of properties that you would like to stay at around the world, maybe one of the larger points even as we briefly mentioned, are the local hosts that you may meet. The local hosts will be able to provide some of the most amazing insight you would never be able to find out about otherwise. Besides feeling like a welcomed guest at their property, a lot of the times you gain friendships that last forever. So many travelers state that the best part about their trip was not only the wonderful experience they had, but the amazing friends they made with the welcoming host or hosts of the property they were staying at. Travel is all about experiences, moments, feelings and connections and when you are able to connect with the local people of the destination you are in, you are going to have beautiful memories that span a lifetime.
Yes, the word is changing, faster in some areas, slower in others, but regardless sometimes you just want to be able to line up every aspect of your trip to the best of your ability with the things you can control right from the beginning, so you can increase your chances of having the experience you have been thinking about right from the start. Not only is this concept ideal for many gay travelers, but also makes them some of the savviest travelers out there as they are taking an active role in creating the type of overall experience they are looking to have. The only person that knows the type of trip you want is you, so it’s up to you to try to make every aspect come to fruition. You work very hard planning the details of your journey, so when it’s possible, don’t leave things that you have some control over up to chance. Most of the time, that rout never really pays off the way you’d like it to. Who knows if you will ever be able to go back to the destination you are headed to, so try and make it the best you possibly can.
Like most things, the only way to really know if something is for you, or “your cup of tea” as they say, is to try it out for yourself. If you have an upcoming trip or are in the middle of planning your next adventure, maybe think about trying out misterbnb for yourself. If you have used other platforms like Airbnb or Gay Homestays to book private rental properties, then you are already familiar with the process anyway. Private rentals give you a completely different experience and vibe then staying at a massive multi –unit hotel or resort. With misterbnb, you get the best of both worlds. Fantastic properties to provide a comfortable stay and welcoming hosts that can become one of the best aspects of your trip.
One thing to keep in mind is that you will always have options. There’s no reason at all that you have to always utilize one travel source when you are making reservations or plans. There are plenty of times that no matter who you are and what community you identify with, you simply want to get to your destination and relax in peace in quiet without feeling the need to have to be in a social atmosphere at all. In fact, escaping the social atmosphere from your everyday life might be the exact reason you are heading on the trip you are planning in the first place. If you feel like being social then of course, but we all know some of the best vacations can happen when you spend time with just yourself or just you and your other half to just enjoy one another’s company and let the day take you on unexpected adventures in your destination.
A suggestion would be to change it up. As we discussed earlier, where you stay is going to have a direct impact sometimes on the type of experience you have. Sometimes when you travel you may want to be at a large mega resort to take part in all the activities that property has to offer or sometimes, the location of the property cannot be duplicated by staying elsewhere. A lot of the decision making is going to come down to the location you are looking to visit. If you are thinking about visiting somewhere like Los Angeles or San Francisco area to experience the gay culture, then your options are going to be endless, but if you are going to be going to a smaller city in the United States or a smaller destination in Europe, private rental properties are most likely going to be much more limited. Just take the time to do a little research and see what type properties are going to offer you the best overall experience you are seeking.
