For your whole self

The LGBTQ+ Abroad Journal

Moving abroad is its own upheaval. Doing it as an LGBTQ+ person adds layers most guides never mention.

Reading a new country for safety, deciding all over again who you can be open with, finding your people from scratch, and carrying an identity the place around you may celebrate, overlook, or forbid. Wherever you’ve landed on that spectrum, this journal is for the part of the move that’s specifically yours.

What’s inside

The move that’s specifically yours.

Seven sections across three movements — landing as yourself, navigating safety and visibility, and finding your people.
