It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.

Hugh Laurie

Hi, I’m Jess, an outdoor enthusiast based in Seattle. I grew up exploring the Pacific Northwest, and early on was bitten by the travel bug. I tried to suppress my wanderlust in pursuit of a traditional career path, but after a short stint as a lawyer, I left the confines of my office to get back in touch with my roots. Now, I wander the world taking photos, making memories, and sharing my love for travel with others!

Traveling like a local for Pride: Grindr tips will help you make the most of 10 US cities

• Grindr users voted for their favorite queer-owned businesses, bars, gyms, and gay-friendly hotels in 10 cities.
• The results will get posted on Instagram throughout the month for Pride.
• Here’s what Grindr users recommend in the app’s 10 selected cities.

Grindr, the popular gay dating app, has been on a mission to become more than a source for quick encounters.

Earlier this spring, it announced Roam, an update to the app’s Explore feature, that lets users place their profile in another location for up to an hour. The company says that feature lets travelers talk to locals and make connections ahead of any trip.

Grindr also polled its users for local tips in 10 gayborhoods across the U.S.

“Forget TripAdvisor, Grindr users are the travel agents when it comes to sniffing out the best spots to eat, drink, sweat, and sleep in these 10 gayborhoods across America,” a statement from Grindr said. “We asked them to vote for their favorite queer-owned businesses, bars, gyms, and gay-friendly hotels in each city.”

The results will get posted on Instagram throughout the month for Pride. Here’s what Grindr users recommend in the app’s 10 selected cities:

Trump may face travel restrictions in some countries after his New York conviction

By Kathryn Watson

May 31, 2024 / 7:09 PM EDT / CBS News

Former President Donald Trump, whose administration imposed multiple versions of a travel ban against people coming from Muslim-majority nations, may now face restrictions on his own international travel, following his felony conviction in New York Thursday. 

At this point, Trump faces no specific travel restrictions from Justice Juan Merchan, who presided over the "hush money" criminal trial in New York, in which the former president was found guilty of 34 felony counts. His sentencing is scheduled to take place on July 11, four days before the Republican National Convention, which will formalize his nomination to the presidency. Trump, who's in the middle of a presidential campaign and has  three other criminal trials pending, has announced no international travel plans. 

The U.S. doesn't allow foreigners with felony convictions to enter the country, and neither do a number of other countries. Allies including the U.K. and Australia have strict restrictions on traveling there as a convicted felon, according to the European Travel Information and Authorisation System. Canada, which will be hosing the G7 summit of world leaders in 2025, also has strict requirements for visitors with a criminal history. And felons are banned from entering China. 

But it's possible international leaders would make exceptions for Trump if he wins the presidency again. Former President George W. Bush had to apply for a special waiver to enter Canada on an official state visit, because he had pleaded guilty decades earlier to a 1976 drunk driving charge. And that was a misdemeanor offense, not a felony. 

Trump has plans to renew and revamp travel restrictions to the U.S., if he's president again. Last year, he said he would bring back a travel ban "even bigger than before," alluding to his administration's restrictions on travelers from several countries that have largely Muslim populations. 

The Supreme Court eventually upheld a version of his travel ban, 5-4, in 2018. Chief Justice John Roberts, wrote in the majority opinion that presidents have substantial power to regulate immigration. "The sole prerequisite," Roberts wrote, is "that the entry of the covered aliens 'would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.' The President has undoubtedly fulfilled that requirement here." He also noted that Trump had ordered an evaluation of every country's compliance with the risk assessment baseline and then issued the findings.

When he talks about the spike in numbers of undocumented migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, the former president also regularly paints them broadly as "criminals."

"So we are moving criminals out of our country, and we are getting them out in record numbers, and those are the people we are after," the former president said toward the beginning of his term during a 2017 interview with the Associated Press. 

As he awaits his sentencing in the "hush money" case, Trump maintains he did nothing wrong. 

"I'm willing to do whatever I have to do to save our country and to save our Constitution. I don't mind," he said in remarks at Trump Tower on Friday.

I retired at 48 and decided to travel for six months with my husband. Two decades later, we are still traveling.

• At 48, my husband and I decided to take a six month trip, but it turned into almost two years.
• We decided to not go back to our consulting jobs and retired.
• Two decades later, we are still traveling the world and have three homes.

Not long after my 48th birthday, in August 1999, my husband Barry invited me out for a margarita at Compadre's, a Mexican restaurant near our home in Palo Alto. It turned out he had an agenda.

During our drink, he suggested we rent our house and travel for six months. We were consultants in Silicon Valley , so we didn't have to quit traditional jobs.

Absolutely, I was up for it. Renting our Palo Alto home wasn't that simple; this was before the era of Airbnb and digital nomads. But we eventually did, and in November, we flew to Mexico, where we spent six weeks in the vibrant UNESCO World Heritage city of Guanajuato.

Six months turned into 20. Our home was still rented when we returned to Palo Alto after ending our period abroad. So we bought a 1984 Westfalia camper van , wandered up the California coast, and rented an apartment in the "Victorian seaport" of Eureka.

We never returned to our consulting jobs , so we essentially retired — though I started management training and coaching again part-time.

Twenty-five years later, we're still in that same apartment. It's the axis that has remained stable throughout while everything else changed: We sold our Palo Alto home, bought a 150-year-old adobe house in Guanajuato, and upgraded to a Eurovan camper.

Today, we're retirees traveling the world together.

The world is our home now

One base is our home in Eureka, where we spend spring and summer. When we're not in town, we roam around Northern California and southern Oregon in our van, which we consider one of our homes. We pack our bicycles, kayak, standup paddleboard, and astronomical telescope into the vehicle. We then head off on outings on the coast or inland to mountains and hot springs.

We spend part of the fall and winter in our home in Guanajuato. We don't own a car there because houses in Guanajuato's centro, where our home is located, don't have driveways or garages, and everything is within walking distance.

Every year, we visit a new part of Mexico. This year, we took Primera Plus — one of Mexico's plush long-distance buses — three hours to another UNESCO World Heritage city, San Luis Potosí.

Because Barry is British, we visit his family once a year, and while we're over there we usually tag on a trip to the continent. One year we spent from May to September in Scotland, Catalonia, France's Hautes Alpes, and in the northern Italian towns below my favorite mountain range, the Dolomites.

We also belong to a home exchange site where we swap our Mexican home for other houses worldwide. We've exchanged homes with owners in Brittany, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Colombia, and Portland, OR. In October, we'll stay at a house a couple of hours from Denver to experience fall foliage. Next spring, we'll visit Cuenca, Ecuador. Our retired life never stops.

We've mastered a system to make our retirement life easy

For a lifestyle like ours, we need to be organized. We rent our home in Mexico when we're not there, so we've hired someone to handle the renters. Our house cleaner in Guanajuato keeps our plants watered. In Eureka, a friend who works nearby checks on our apartment regularly, and while we're in Mexico, we keep our van on another friend's property.

Strictly speaking, we have enough income to maintain our lifestyle and don't need to generate more. But Barry and I both enjoy writing, and I, in particular, love to earn. Happily, we can write in Eureka, Guanajuato, in our camper van, or wherever in the world we happen to be.

I remember that August afternoon 25 years ago, and I'm grateful I said yes. I had no idea when Barry asked me out how much a simple margarita would transform our lives.
