Zachary’s Notes October 2021 – Travel Rebounding

October 3, 2021 by Zachary Moses

Hello fellow HE Travelers,

With travel rebounding, I have returned to share my thoughts and amazing adventures with you again.

Getting back out on tour

There are a lot of great places you can go right now. It just takes a little more effort and work to get you there. Safety is a much bigger concern, and cleanliness is critical.

My first tour back in the field was our August Splash! Grand Canyon Rafting Expedition. On Day 5 of the trip, I was literally given the honor of officiating a gay wedding. What an amazing experience to have your special day performed in such a beautiful and natural temple. My heart was bursting with warm fuzzies for weeks afterward. 😊

In September, I hosted our group on our newest Southwest Colorado Gay Dude Ranch tour, just outside Durango. I learned a few things…like I am bad at karaoke. I also remembered a few things, like that I absolutely love riding horses, especially horses that go fast! The food was good, and the horses were outstanding.

Both tours are fantastic examples of low-covid-risk domestic tours, each having lots of social distance from people outside our HE Travelers. Coupled with vaccinations, many destinations are now safer than our hometowns. You can find more tour types here.

For worldwide travel

We are tracking every country and finding the places with the safest protocols. The most annoying issue with international travel is the constant need for perfect timing-of-testing. Making sure you have the right test at the right time… It’s costly and cumbersome to get your test, but also to get your timing right.

However, it’s a lot less trouble to visit one of several countries that do not require this testing protocol, if you are vaccinated and carrying proof of vaccination.

Tour updates with COVID ease of access:

These two upcoming foreign HE Travel tours only require proof of vaccination upon entry, with no annoying nose swabs.

Costa Rica, The Dream Adventure Tour: this gay Costa Rica dream adventure is the perfect mix of adrenaline and relaxation. Launching: December 2 to 9, 2021

Costa Rica Gay Travel: The Dream Adventure Tour

Mexico, Mayan Wonders of Yucatán: travel to Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula to be immersed in the history of Mayan civilization with a fun gay group. Launching: January 7th to 16, 2022

Mayan Wonders of Yucatan Tour

For those of you that don’t want to join a group tour, or need different dates, HE Travel still provides fully custom travel as well. If you want to go anywhere, we can get you there.

Give us a call at +1-305-294-8174

I hope to see you on tour!

Warmly,

Zachary Moses

About Zachary Moses

Zachary has done every job at HeTravel.com. He started in the marketing mailroom in 2010, and eventually worked his way up to serving 2 years on the board of directors for the National Tour Association and an additional two years serving as the CEO of HeTravel.com.

He ran for Governor of Utah as a Democrat in 2020, garnering international attention while running in this historically RED state.

During a 14-month long Pandemic-related forced "sabbatical," he returned to his passion of carpentry, having now restored several historic buildings. He also gave a TEDx talk in 2020 pitching an idea to save/restore the Great Salt Lake and other western saline lakes.

Zachary has returned to HE Travel, however, he is no longer the CEO and has now taken on the role of CXO or Chief Experience Officer.

Zach has been working with the company for more than a decade, and still leads tours, writes blogs, and speaks at international conferences.
