It's time to touch grass... and sand... and pavement!
Data scientists and researchers at Misterb&b, the world’s largest LGBTQ+ travel community, have used the habits of its 1 million registered users to create an index ranking the gayest cities in the world for 2024.
Founder Matthieu Jost created Misterb&b after he and his partner were victims of homophobia and harassment while trying to rent a room during a vacation in Spain.
The company connects LGBTQ+ travelers with rentals and services provided by family and allies in their destinations.
His latest feature, Weere, now allows travelers to connect socially before they travel. Users can chat with locals or make plans with fellow visitors.
