U.S. State Department appoints Special Envoy for LGBT Rights around the World

February 25, 2015 by ventureouttours

This is a commendable move. While great progress has been made in the U.S. and many other countries, there are unfortunately many places in the world where being openly gay is difficult, even dangerous. As an operator of escorted tours for LGBT travelers around the globe for 18 years we too are doing our part to act as ambassadors.

What’s Behind that French Waiter’s Facade?

If you enjoy traveling to Paris — or are still intending to get yourself there! — we found this article in the Wall Street Journal about Parisian waiters insightful and très intéressant. American tourists tend to find the waiters snooty, aloof, and cold compared to their counterparts in America . . . But have a read, and you might develop an understanding and appreciation of where they’re coming from. The piece also suggests five great places for “waiter watching” as well as a dozen excellent Do’s and Don’ts to prepare you for your next encounter in a French restaurant. Bon Appétit!

We’re planning a new tour in France for 2016, and we think you’ll find this a fun, informative, and helpful article for your travels.
