Win a 2-Night Stay in a Mallorcan Mountain Retreat

We love a good party now and then, but sometimes, what you really need from a vacation is to kick back and reconnect—with yourself and, if you’re lucky, someone else.

In our latest giveaway with PrideNomad, we’re offering the chance to win exactly that: a FREE 2-night getaway for two at the luxurious, LGBTQ+-friendly Finca Ratxo Hotel, nestled in the breathtaking mountains of Mallorca, Spain. Simply register with your email for a chance to win a stay at this tranquil, adults-only retreat—plus a $200 flight credit from Dollar Flight Club to sweeten the deal.

You won’t find a location closer to nature than Finca Ratxo Hotel, a secluded oasis in the Mallorcan mountains, far from tourist-packed resorts and busy city hotels. Like we did on our last visit, you can start your day with a sunrise yoga session, cool off in the infinity pool, unwind in the spacious Jacuzzi, indulge in the wellness sanctuary, and savor authentic Majorcan cuisine at Roots Restaurant. And the best part? You and your lucky +1 can enjoy it all for free.

“Spainfully” Good Times All Around in Madrid with Two Bad Tourists 

Madrid is one of—if not the—most gay-friendly cities in the world, making it Two Bad Tourists-friendly as well. We love it so much, in fact, that we ended up settling here ourselves during our globetrotting adventures. Now, we humbly invite you to visit us for our 7 Days in Spain – Madrid, Toledo & Segovia from September 18-24, 2025.

We’ll show you all the big attractions, from the gorgeous Atocha Park to the Royal Palace, before wining and dining you in the city’s best restaurants. David will take you on a historic tour of the city, Isaac on a tapas tour, and Richard out for a—sure to be eventful—night on the town in Chueca. They’ll be a visit to the spectacular Reina Sofia gallery - home to Picasso's Guernica - and even an authentically Spanish drag queen show over dinner. Next, we’ll visit two nearby towns, Segovia and Toledo—each with its own tales to tell of Spanish culture and history. Viva España, Viva Madrid! Read our reviews here.

SPECIAL OFFER!

Book by April 30 and solo travelers pay no single supplement.

This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies

Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.

That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.

Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.

We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.

Beautiful, Queer and Nice – Queernaval is Perfect Gaycation Material

Carnival is already queer to its core. After all, if there’s anything the LGBTQ+ community knows best, it's how to come together for a good party—one that culminates in a fabulously ostentatious parade… or five. Creativity runs in our veins, and you’ll always find us at the heart of any Carnival celebration, glitter guns and streamer cannons armed and ready. Nice’s Lou Queernaval, however, is the first officially gay carnival in France, which takes the dial and turns it up to a hundred. Queernaval is a celebration within a celebration—an inclusive, joyous explosion of creativity at Nice’s Carnival, created by the LGBTQ+ community for the community. It’s also a damn good excuse to plan a gaycation to Nice—as if you’d need one to visit the most gorgeous city on the French Riviera. But if you do need a reason, here are six good ones to add Queernaval in February/March to your yearly calendar.
