Out Traveler we consider the impact of last chance travel, sharing some of the places we’re most driven to visit, stories of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, how to travel without endangering the people and animals who live there, alternatives to threatened locales, and yes, even the role travel plays in further threatening the places many of us long to visit.
At Out Traveler, we’re convinced that travel has the potential to do more good than harm especially when we learn to do good as we go (for example, in this issue we showed how tourists can help restore Mexico City’s precolonial canals or help save the Great Barrier Reef by only using authorized guides).We cover Mexico in depth this issue as our writers fanned out across the nation to explore different regions and a burgeoning foodie scene.Our cover queen Trixie Mattel tells us about bringing her retro-kitch, Barbie doll aesthetic to Palm Springs, renovating a California motel on the new Discovery+ show Trixie Motel.When you venture out again, we’ve got lots of inspiration, tips, and #IRL experiences of LGBTQ+ people, including yoga juggernaut Jessamyn Stanley and Grown-ish star Warren Egypt Franklin.
