Return to Sitges

Sitges, a seaside town 35 kilometres southwest of Barcelona, a perfect retreat of sand, sea and sun. Known for its liberalism and its easy lifestyle. One of my favourite destinations to unwind, and experience a real holiday. While the roots of Sitges‘ artsy reputation date back to the late 19th century, the town became a centre […]

Barcelona and Sitges 2006

Barcelona and Sitges, Catalunya 2006. Way back when digital cameras only took stills, a montage of clips put together to feature a city and town on the coast of Spain, this was the early years as I was falling love with this destination and making new friends in the process.

KitKat

KitKat is a small gay bar hidden within the alleys of downtown Amman catering to a men-only clientele. There is little after hours or late places to be entertained in Amman, most things close early evenings, but there are a few hidden places that do offer something genuinely different. In a very retro outdated atmosphere, […]

El Chiringuito de la Mar Bella

El Chiringuito de la Mar Bella caters for the city’s large gay community and, of course, gay visitors. Its location on this part of the beach couldn’t be better, clearly targeted towards a more gay clientele, but in Barcelona sexuality is not something people consider out of the ordinary and where the mix is often […]

Books @ Cafe

Books@Cafe is a quirky place with a bookshop on main entrance with a restaurant above offering decent views of the hillside city of Amman, and a licensed place to drink alcohol and hang out. An outdoor terrace and indoor seating, sheesha pipes and swinging lights. With great views and artsy interiors, this is the place […]

Sitges • Spain

A sea-side town just outside Barcelona, a perfect retreat of sand, sea and sun. Known for its liberalism and its easy lifestyle, it is not one would expect from a coastal resort town in Spain. I stayed in Sitges on several occasions, a quick city break and beach holiday and was pleasantly surprised, often when […]

Sydney Mardi Gras on TV

Sydney Mardi Gras 2009 is broadcast live on Australian television, featuring Joan Rivers as a co-host. An annual event growing in popularity celebrating sexual diversity, the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Trans Gender Community welcomes the world to a party full of colour, sound, costume and dance. I was lucky to be in Sydney for one of […]

Folsom Street Fair

World’s largest fetish event in San Francisco on the last weekend of September showcases BDSM products and culture. An annual BDSM and leather subculture street fair. BDSM is an erotic preference and a form of sexual expression involving the consensual use of restraint, intense sensory stimulation, and fantasy power role-play. BDSM is derived from the […]

La Chapelle

La Chapelle is a small quirky gay bar, and a good starting point for a night out in Barcelona. This place is a little quirky with religious symbols everywhere, even having the Virgin Mary and Jesus to indicate the men and women bathrooms. The “chapel” bar is a very unique spot with white-tiled walls housing […]
