Ireland makes top 10 most inclusive European countries to work in

This list shows the most inclusive countries to work in Europe for LGBTQ+ professionals, and Ireland has made the top 10.

It’s Pride Month, and while we’re all for celebrities and brands taking a stand for LGBTQ+ rights, there are still many countries where those in the queer community cannot live – never mind work – as their true, authentic selves.

And while the UK grapples with the anti-trans “culture war” amid the upcoming general election, Reboot Online has discovered the most inclusive co

The Foreign Office issues new travel warning to LGBTQ+ holidaymakers

You might be starting to organise your hot girl summer plans, but the Foreign Office has issued a new travel warning to LGBTQ+ holidaymakers visiting Greece.

Despite Greece recently legalising same-sex marriage and adoption – becoming the first country with a Christian Orthodox majority to do so – the Foreign Office has suggested that those in the LGBTQ+ community should still remain alert.

In an update to its Foreign travel advice website, the passage for travellers to Greece reads: “Same-sex

These are the best countries for LGBTQ+ weddings, and the UK isn't in the top 10

Wedding experts have discovered the best countries for LGBTQ+ couples to get married; unsurprisingly, the UK hasn’t even made the top 10 on the list.

Wedding experts at Hitched looked at the best LGBTQ+-friendly countries for queer couples to tie the knot, taking into account how long same-sex marriage has been legal, the average cost to get married there, and how safe the country is for those in the LGBTQ+ community.

Saltburn makes Northamptonshire the latest bucket-list holiday spot

Saltburn might be hailed for its shocking moments — including that shocking bathwater sex scene — but the thriller/comedy has also put Northamptonshire on the map.

The majority of filming for the queer movie takes place at an estate in the English countryside, with the mansion hosting debauched parties, clandestine escapades and a hearty serving of awkward dinners.

Drayton House in Northamptonshire is just one of the filming locations for the November 2023 flick. The family estate of heartthro

Farming and picking fruit: Is this the end for regional work gap years in Australia?

Anyone who’s backpacked in Australia knows the key to extend their stay on a Working Holiday Visa: Regional work. You get dollars in your pocket, can remain in the country for up to three years and meet friends through the experience. It’s basically an Aus gap year right of passage.

Sure, travellers often bonded over early mornings, sleepless nights, and tiresome manual labour in settings like farms, construction sites, and hospitality in very remote areas. But as countless Working Holiday Make

When Are Airport Liquid Rules Changing?

Everyone loves a holiday, but nobody enjoys packing. And filling cases for shorter trips is almost made worse by trying to decant our entire life's worth of beauty products into 100ml bottles to fit into a minuscule plastic sandwich bag to scan through airport security. In short, it's a painful process.

But soon, we won't be forced to choose between bringing along our trusty lip gloss, after-sun cream, or high SPF sprays (because nobody has time for sun damage), as the 100ml liquid limit in air

Holiday spot which is sunny all winter is only a few hours away from the UK

We’ve already seen the sun set closer to 4:00pm these days, while the average temperature this month is between highs of 10 degrees Celsius and a low of 4 degrees Celsius. And, if that wasn’t upsetting enough, it’s only mid-November.

So, it’s understanding that some people are looking to head as far away from the UK as possible in a bid to find a ray of sunshine, or two.

But it turns out that you don’t need to fly for more than a few hours to find a holiday spot that stays sunny all winter.

Holidaymakers are hyped for group travel plans again

While she headed on the trip with her friend from home, she ended up meeting others who hailed from the same area in Ireland as her own family, while almost 2,000 miles away from her origins – opening up the dialogue for common ground.

Women Are Swapping Boozy Getaways For Wellness Retreats

“I’m not keen on a boozy holiday,” she told Tyla. “I don’t do it anymore, I haven’t done it for years. So, if someone said to me, ‘do you wanna have a boozy weekend away?’ I’d be like, ‘no. I don’t want to.’”

“I think it was good because everything was optional and you weren’t forced to do anything, but I still went and did it anyway because I thought, ‘I’m here, I might as well push myself’.
