If you’re missing your friends and those weekend catch-ups over omelettes and unlimited mimosas, it’s relatively easy to replicate those boozy brunches at home while supporting local restaurants affected by COVID-19. Here's a few steps to get those bottomless mimosas flowing. First, you gotta make it official and send a virtual brunch invite to your friends. Send it via Paperless Post or another digital invite platform. Next up, you gotta set a date and time and then direct them to the local restaurant that you're supporting and be sure to send them a link to the menu. Then, all you have to do is go live on Zoom and cheers your friends as you brunch it up. Social connection while physical distancing is especially crucial for us as human beings as we're wired for relationships and companionship. By having virtual Zoom brunches you’re not only supporting local restaurants but you might be helping a friend in dire need of social connection during these times. If you’re already having virtual brunches with your friends, go ahead and send us some of your tips too. Feel free to share a screenshot of you brunching it up and #GayTravelToday and also #Sagitravel.

Do you catch yourself these days often daydreaming about an epic getaway? Let me tell you, you’re definitely not alone. This might be an excellent time to start planning your next dream vacation. There’s so many amazing deals available if you book now for travel later. Many resorts, hotels, and airlines have less restrictive cancellation policies that you can take advantage of right now. If you're like me, it might be hard to imagine planning something so far in advance, but there are some benefits. Having something to look forward to and be excited about can boost your mental health and outlook during this pandemic. Bring your partner and friends into the fold to make it a fun activity planning this epic trip. If you really do your research you can strategically support the LGBTQ+ community in the travel industry and in the process discover some fantastic gay-friendly destinations and gay-owned businesses.

And then take a short road trip over to Rincón and have an incredible dinner at the intimate and lesbian-owned Italian restaurant, Mangia Mi. So what dream vacation are you planning for your post-COVID-19 celebration? We’d love to see a photo on social media, so share it and #GayTravelToday and also #Sagitravel.

This is certainly more on the controversial side, but the 2019 travel destinations are in and Nigeria has ranked as the world's most dangerous country for LGBTQ+ travel. Next on the list is Qatar, followed by Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Tanzania. Also on the list and not too far behind are popular tourist destinations Barbados, St. Lucia, and Maldives.

Social distancing and restrictions on movement may currently be altering how we celebrate important milestones, birthdays, and anniversaries with our partners. I can imagine that a lot of us have to think outside of the box to celebrate such special occasions during these times. Here's a few ideas you could try to spice up those stay-at-home special occasions. Pop open Epicurious or a trusted cookbook and try to re-create a favorite meal from one of your past vacations or travels. Make the occasion even more special by adding music that sets the mood and takes you and your partner back to that place and time. Attention is in the detail, so you might want to go all out, dress up, and light some candles to relive those memorable moments. If you try any of these at home, we'd love to see a photo or video on social media. So share it and #GayTravelToday and also #Sagitravel.

The Tate Museum in London has turned its exhibit of queer icon and pop artist Andy Warhol's work into a virtual online experience. The exhibit was only open for five days before it was shutdown due to COVID-19. Instead of just leaving the exhibit in lockdown, The Tate Museum decided to release it on the World Wide Web for all to see and it’s pretty powerful. Traveling to this exhibit in London is as easy as a click on your screen to be transported to view Warhol from a whole new perspective. This bold exhibit shines a light on some of his works lesser known than the "Campbell Soup Can" paintings and presents Warhol through the unique lens of his immigrant story, queer identity, and his views on death and religion. To view it, visit Tate on YouTube and search for Andy Warhol at Tate Modern – Exhibition Tour. Show us your favorite work by Andy Warhol on social media. Share it and #GayTravelToday and also #Sagitravel.

Now, it isn't news that everyone’s travel plans have been delayed or postponed until further notice. To help us get through these times, we can still live out our gay travel fantasies by binge watching some of these all-time favorite LGBTQ-themed movies. These movies showcase gorgeous backdrops, beautiful scenery, and may or may not include traveling. If you haven’t already added these to your watchlist, then go ahead and add these to the queue: Brokeback Mountain, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Transamerica, Y Tu Mamá También, A Crimson Mark, Seashore, and August. And I’ll throw in a couple more recent binge worthy TV shows: Queer Eye Japan, Dragnificent, and Pose. Even if just for a few hours, hopefully those recommendations will transport your mind to another place, especially for those using their vacation days for a stay-at-home staycation. Tell us on social media about your favorite LGBTQ-themed movies and TV shows. Feel free to even share a screenshot of what you’re watching. Be sure to share it and #GayTravelToday and also #Sagitravel.
