We all want the low-down when we travel, but sometimes you need a little extra value for your info. That's where gay travel blogs come in. These blogs will give you the same what, when, and why about popular travel - and some out of the ordinary - destinations, but they're a little more personal and a lot more fun.

They provide detailed, lifestyle-specific info from an insider's perspective that's as close to being there as you can get without actually hopping on a plane or a cruise ship. If you want to know how to say "You're hot" in German or what the beautiful people are wearing to the theater in Prague, these gay travel blogs will give you the behind the scenes of any scene, worldwide.

Each blog has its own personality and vibe, and you'll find in-depth information about the better neighborhoods to visit, film reviews of interest to the LGBT community, and live reporting from the ground of some of the most off-the-hook gay festivals and events on the planet.

You'll also find helpful tips on safe travel, what to avoid when you're in a certain country or region, and you'll know how to dress for success in every season or setting. Of course, we have own very own gay travel blog here on misterb&b, but variety, as they say, is the spice of life. So, here, in no special order of importance, are the most comprehensive top 10 gay travel blogs on the internet today.
