    S5E7: Gay Travel in Colombia: LGBTQ+ Adventures, Culture & Community

    Colombia is one of the most biodiverse and culturally rich countries on Earth, and it’s quickly becoming a favorite destination for LGBTQ+ travelers. We welcome back Sam Holdren, founder of OUT in Colombia and the new LGBTQ+ experience brand Queer Scout, to talk more about gay-friendly Colombia.  We kick things off with fun facts about Colombia, from pink river dolphins and ancient lost cities older than Machu Picchu to why Medellín is known as the “City of Eternal Spring.” Then Sam shares what’s changed in Colombia since his last appearance on the podcast, why the country continues to surprise queer travelers, and how LGBTQ+ tourism can positively support local communities. We also learn about Queer Scout, Sam’s new venture offering immersive queer experiences like bar crawls, dance nights, food adventures, and cultural tours in Medellín.  Whether you’re curious about Colombia for the first time or already planning your next adventure, this episode offers insight, inspiration, and practical tips for traveling confidently as an LGBTQ+ traveler.
