LGBTQ+ Travel Intelligence
Know before
you go.
Navigate with confidence.
OtterCompass helps LGBTQ+ travelers understand the laws, local attitudes, cultural expectations, and travel considerations that may affect them before they arrive.
What OtterCompass will do
A fuller picture of
your next destination.
We’re designing a way to research a country or city and understand the considerations that matter to your trip. Planned guidance will cover:
- LGBTQ+ legal environment
- Cultural and social climate
- Public affection considerations
- Accommodations
- Nightlife and dating-app considerations
- Transgender and gender-diverse traveler considerations
- Interactions with local authorities
- Current LGBTQ+-specific advisories
- Practical destination guidance
The idea
Every journey
has its own context.
Travel experiences can be very different for LGBTQ+ people depending on where they go.
Laws are only part of the picture. Social norms, enforcement, local attitudes, and rapidly changing events can matter just as much.
OtterCompass is being designed to bring this information together into practical travel guidance that is easy to understand. Think of it as a knowledgeable companion for navigating unfamiliar places.
Our approach
Current
Date information and update it as conditions change.
Sourced
Support important guidance with credible sources.
Practical
Turn laws and local conditions into useful travel guidance.
Inclusive
Recognize the different considerations gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, and other LGBTQ+ travelers may encounter.
Contextual
Look beyond “safe” or “unsafe” to understand a destination in context.
