Every month we'll send you deals that we think have value for solo travelers. Our goal is to share travel deals that don't have a single supplement but we also include budget options that make solo travel more affordable and products that are relevant for solo travel.

Travel Solo but Not Alone 

At Out’n About Travel we specialize in LGBT travel. We are dedicated to working with travel suppliers that promote properties whose business practices, company culture, and employee policies ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for LGBT travellers and their allies. We understand the value of smart and sensitive service for individuals more often ignored than catered to. Over time, Out‘n About Travel has evolved into a boutique agency whose clients span the corporate and individual market, and includes a commitment to meeting the needs of the LGBT community. We work with you to understand your travel needs and trip objectives. We prepare detailed and organized itineraries, using our training, experience and commitment to exceed your expectations.

We love Europe for its history, architecture and culture (oh, and the food), but are just as thrilled to travel through the United States to play golf at the famous Dinah Shore event or hike through Joshua Tree Park in beautiful California. No matter where your destination is, or whether you’re planning a solo journey or a group trip, you will benefit from our own love of travel.
