Download MY 2011 Gay San Juan guide for $10

Finally! A gay travel guide from a tourist perspective, written by a fellow traveler who stuck around for more than a few months!


I love Puerto Rico so much, I sport a coqui tattoo. How could you not love a place where every night is Latin Night? Needless to say that I spend a lot of my time there and have the opportunity to update my guide on the ever-changing gay scene—which has had RADICAL changes throughout 2010 (if you know SJ, prepare for some shockers!). When I visit, I'm usually staying for a month or two, note pad in my hand, scribbling away the most detailed information to pass along to my friends back home. Great hotels and resturants, gay bars, gay discos, cruising guys. Not everyone has the opportunity to travel as much as I do, so I'm happy to give back by spreading some good gay travel karma.

This travel guide is intended for ADULT GAY MEN. It's written directly from my perspective (an American in my 30's) and that of my local friends in San Juan. We're not travel agents, nor associated with the travel industry. We're normal professionals who like to laugh, lust and have one heck of a great time when we all get together. READ: This guide is BLUNT!

THIS IS NOT A BOOK. This is a 39 page, screen-optimized, interactive PDF file that you can download instantly. Your purchase includes a printable "wallet guide" version and iPhone-optimized version (both are PDF files) that contain the summary of info that you will appreciate having on hand: weekly club schedules, bars, restaurants, prices and more!
