Top 5 Places to Meet Girls in London
Let’s face it: London, like most cities, is super super gay...man. It’s gay man. The lesbians, although plentiful in the city, are a bit harder to find. Most cities have lesbians clubs, or gay clubs with lesbians nights. London does things a little differently. London’s lesbian scene is bursting with weekly lesbian parties that take place all around the city. They’re normally on Thursday or Saturday night and you can expect- shocker- ALL LESBIANS. London definitely has a lot to offer girls interested in girls- you just gotta know where to look. - read more

From London with Pride
I’d been to Pride before- Barcelona Pride, Tel Aviv Pride, DC Pride- but nothing could prepare me for the sheer mass of numbers at London Pride. London has a lot of people, and on July 3rd, it seemed like every single one of London’s residents was gay.

Eventually I asked the front desk what happened to our flight - read more

Copenhagen: the future of equality, women’s rights, and never locking the door
Welcome to the future, where the people are quiet, litter is nonexistent, houses are made of glass, and daily items are exorbitantly expensive. Exiting the plane at Copenhagen’s airport, I waited for an hour behind hundreds of soldiers returning home from Afghanistan (Denmark is involved in Afghanistan?!)- and was immediately introduced to Danish hospitality as officers passed around Carlsberg beer to everyone waiting in line. - read more

Out in East London
SoHo has earned the well-deserved reputation of being super super gay, and people rarely deviate from super super gay. But SoHo also represents the mainstream, Britney Spears, sparkly signs, pole dancers, and tight t-shirts. If you’re not so much into that, or just looking for something a little more underground, East London is SO where it’s at. - read more
