I’m currently in Mexico getting ready to host our Mexico City – Puebla Gay Cultural Tour. There are 8 guys in the group, which is within my favorite group sizes, so this should be a lot of fun! I’ll blog about the tour experience and share photos within the next few weeks if you’re interested to know more.

Zachary’s Notes – Transitions in Travel -February 8th, 2022
My niece Emily is Openly Trans.
She’s been transitioning since shortly before the Pandemic. For the last two months, she’s been working on the new building project next door with me. The two of us have been going like crazy to rebuild the bottom floor. I’ve even personally put in a few 15-hour days and all-nighters…phew.
Gay History: His-Stories, My-Stories, Your-Stories, Our-Stories
For the past couple of months, I have prepared to move our Salt Lake City headquarters to a new location a couple of blocks away. With the goal of moving as little as possible, I scanned and recycled most of our paper files. What an amazing journey this has been to read through items collected […]
A Half-Century of Gay Travel

Hanns invited “discerning gentlemen” to join him for a week in the Grand Canyon the following year, thus initiating a half-century of gay travel.
Gay Travel to All Seven Continents
I would like to share my gratitude for what the past year has offered us. Despite the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, we at HE Travel have run tours to 16 countries on 5 continents (6 if you count Jordan as part of Asia). And if all goes well, we will add India and Antarctica early in 2022 to return gay travel to all seven continents!
Zachary’s Notes November 2021 – Adventure in Italy
Casey and I were just in Italy as hosted buyers for TTG. The organization shows off Italian travel companies and tour opportunities. Castles, vineyards, beaches, food, etc. I had a great time, seriously, so great! Life is so much better when on tour. It was fantastic to get back out into the world. I have so many new ideas!
