**Are we heading to Lisbon Pride?** Honestly, everyone is heading to Portugal this summer. It’s been named the top queer travel destination. It’s safe to be visibly queer there, it’s stunning, and it’s actually affordable enough to stay a while. But if you’re feeling guilty as a tourist lately, the move is to stay somewhere local, eat where the neighbors eat, and leave your money with the people who actually live there rather than the big chains. This kind of "slow travel" is the best way to actually find a community instead of just passing through like a ghost. Collective is always here to help make it easy to find new queer friends before you even land. You can connect with locals for the best hidden spots or find other travelers to split an Airbnb with. If you’re heading to Lisbon, Porto, or anywhere in between, add your travel dates to Collective by editing your profile. Worst case, you split a bill; best case, you find your new best friend or soulmate.
