Everyone has an opinion on the best month for dating, but in NYC, there’s no question: it’s when the air turns crisp and cool, but when the sun still shines.

Every one of my dating profile bios says I’m “interested in creative types” and I’ve had my fair share of relationships with creative guys—from musicians to writers, artists and poets. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned from my relationships with creative boys is that they’re trouble.

Travel blog by Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) – Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) - Travel & Lifestyle Hipster Blog Toronto was one of those cities that amazed me from the very beginning.

Travel blog by Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) – Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) - Travel & Lifestyle Hipster Blog When I was working on a travel guide to Cologne of the best Youth Hotspots in Germany, I took some time to research Cologne’s major tourist attractions. Sightseeing in Cologne was pretty much what I expected: there aren’t many sites, but wandering around the city lost provided plenty of opportunities to discover cool things to do. From the travel planning I did before my trip (on Pinterest, naturally), I realized there really are only a handful of major tourist attractions.

In their small center, off the USC college campus, they store an archive of some of the most important LGBT publications throughout history—from the first edition of The Advocate to small, independent art zines. While walking through the narrow halls lined with steel bookshelves, I couldn’t help but realize something was missing.
