Tokyo Olympics’ LGBT Athletes

August 8, 2021 by Philip Sheldon

olympic blog by Phil

Watching the Tokyo Olympics brings a range of emotions. First, there is the fascination of watching the world’s best athletes. (I especially enjoy gymnastics, diving, and cycling.)

The more complex emotion is who to cheer for. As an American, I identify with the success of my fellow Americans. But I have lived in and led many tours to Japan and China. Over 100 other countries have warmly welcomed me and our travelers, so I have so many athletes to cheer on!

Phil’s Notes – July 2021 – Resilience!

July 11, 2021 by Philip Sheldon

A group of travelers sits in chairs relaxing with the grand canyon in the background on HE Travel's Splash Grand Canyon Rafting Tour.

After operating a handful of tours over the past 18 months, we’re excited to finally be sending our travelers out to see more of our amazing destinations around the world!
We recently completed successful tours to the Galapagos and Peru. With our amazing local partners, we adapted to the frequently changing requirements of travel, such as scheduling rapid-result tests as needed.

Through a Murky Crystal Ball

April 4, 2021 by Philip Sheldon

SW Gay Colorado Dude Ranch Adventure Tour

As we move into the second year of the Covid-19 pandemic, I am cautiously optimistic about the resumption of travel. Our daily lives have changed, our expectations have changed, travel has changed. What has not changed is the human yearning for new experiences – and to return to familiar places where one feels welcome.

Tribute to HE Travel Founder Hanns Ebensten

March 7, 2021 by Philip Sheldon

Hanns Ebensten Tribute Blog HE Travel Worldwide Gay Adventure and Cultural Travel Tours

As I start my 21st year as the owner of HE Travel, I would like to pay homage to our heritage. A look back at the history of HE Travel must start with Hanns Ebensten, who founded Hanns Ebensten Travel and ran the first gay tour in 1973, down the Grand Canyon.

Twenty Years: Looking Back and Ahead

February 7, 2021 by Philip Sheldon

20 year anniversary for Phil Sheldon of HE Travel

20 years is a very long time. 20 years pass in an instant. I feel both emotions as I commemorate the 20th anniversary of my purchase of Hanns Ebensten Travel (later HE Travel), and as we gleefully put the year 2020 into the rearview mirror.
