016 - Miles Of Love - LGBTQI Travel | Bess Hepworth

This week is an episode that has been requested from my Steppers.

This is a topic that I am not qualified to speak about. So I have invited Bess Hepworth, founder of Planet Ally to talk about travel for the LGBTQI+ community. Bess is the lead organiser for the MILES OF LOVE conference, which is the first of its kind in Hong Kong on 2^nd - 5^th Novemeber 2018.

I believe that this is an episode that everyone should hear. I can openly say that Bess has taught me a lot and shocked me with some stories I was unaware of, from Countries frequented by Aussies, like Indonesia.

Bess gives insight into the serious issues that the LGBTQI community face while travelling and explains how we can all make changes to make every human feel included and safe to explore this amazing planet. Bess directs the LGBTQI community to the current websites and apps that can assist with laws and how to meet others in the community while travelling.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Bess directly bess@planetally.org
