Planning trip in July
I’m a 40 year old single gay man from Los Angeles and I wanna go somewhere sexy in July. I plan on going solo. I only really care about three things when I travel :
- beaches - I’m a California boy, born and raised. I love to body surf and swim in the ocean and lay out and people watch allllllllll damn day if I can.
- food - I wanna eat well. Don’t need gourmet or Michelin guide. I just wanna eat flavorful, authentic food. Taste the culture. And access to a lil fast food is always nice. I am an American after all lol
- men - again, i wanna taste the culture 😏 a place with a more established gay scene (im sober. So I won’t be hanging out in bars or clubs all that much if at all) but I still like access to them as they are the hub in a sense.
I was thinking
A) Honolulu/waikiki, Hawaii - (easy. Expensive tho)
B) Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (no brainer. Just concerned about the rain and I hate, I mean absolutely LOATHE all inclusive type resorts. So many restrictions. Hard to host)
C) Cartagena, Colombia - (playa Hollywood keeps popping up, I don’t wanna judge a place I’ve never been, but the beach looks a lil crowded and kinda gray. Kinda want something a lil more blue? That make sense? Are there pretty beaches close to there?)
D) Santo Domingo, DR - (zona colonial sounds hot. I’m a generous man, so there is that. But again, what beaches are near there?)
I’m open to all recs and tips.
Thank you!!
