I doubt whether the world holds for
anyone a more soul-stirring surprise
than the first adventure with ice-cream.
—Heywood Broun
In this issue of Passport, writer Leslie
Gilbert Elman travels to Europe and discovers so me
“Cheap Tricks” that are sure to make your
next journey across the pond a more enjoyable, and economical,
experience. According to her, “There are many ways
to live within, or even below, your means and still
have a fabulous time. We’re talking about ways
to spend less and still feel sophisticated and civilized,
which is what traveling in Europe is all about anyway.”
Also in this issue, we voyage to Barcelona
to find out what makes this beautiful city by the sea
such a popular destination with GLBT travelers. Correspondent
Joseph Amodio tells us: “This easy, breezy port
city feels exotic, colorful, and nonconformist, a delectable
amalgam of cultures that’s part Spanish, part French,
part…something else.”
Meanwhile, our intrepid writers and
photographers have been busy covering some other fascinating
people, places, and events that just might provide the
motivation you need to pack your bags and do some exploring
of your own this summer. Travel with us as we sample
gastronomic delights in Berlin; discover what’s
new in Geneva; get up close and personal with Emmy-winner
paris Barclay in our VIP Lounge; explore the wonders
of Santa Cruz; venture to the “buckle of the Bible
belt,” the surprisingly gay-friendly city of Nashville;
and get an insider’s recommendations to the best
places to eat, drink, spa, shop, and meet A-Listers
in West Hollywood.
