One of my favorite things about the US is the eccentric destinations we have to offer to the world. You just don't find places like Joshua Tree in other parts of the world. This artist enclave is popping with creativity and just amazing weirdness. If you ever find yourself in Joshua Tree, make sure to visit the Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum. It's pretty amazing and free to tour!Una de mis cosas favoritas sobre los EE. UU. Son los destinos excéntricos que tenemos para ofrecer al mundo. Simplemente no encuentras lugares como Joshua Tree en otras partes del mundo. Este enclave de artistas está lleno de creatividad y rarezas asombrosas. Si alguna vez te encuentras en Joshua Tree, asegúrate de visitar el Museo de Arte del Desierto al aire libre Noah Purifoy. ¡Es bastante sorprendente y gratis para recorrer!#travel #art #sculpture #outdoorart #joshuatree #california #traveler #gaytravel #travelblogger #mynormalgaylife

This was my last trip before the global Pandemic began. I miss travel. Sometimes you just need to live your best, boho, desert life. When you rent an incredible Airbnb in the middle of the desert then you can really take in the suns rays and dress however you like. Our time in the desert earlier this year was such a fantastic experience. I can't wait to get back.Este fue mi último viaje antes de que comenzara la pandemia mundial. Extraño viajar. A veces solo necesitas vivir tu mejor vida boho y desértica. Cuando alquilas un Airbnb increíble en medio del desierto, realmente puedes disfrutar de los rayos del sol y vestirte como quieras. Nuestro tiempo en el desierto a principios de este año fue una experiencia fantástica.

Happy Pride! I think Pride is living your normal a

Happy Pride! I think Pride is living your normal as long as that normal doesn’t hurt other people or impede their ability to love authentically. When you find someone who can deal with your baggage and wants to love you for everything you are...both the good and the bad...then ya gotta hold on to them. It's that simple. And while relationships take a lot of work to be successful, they really are quite simple. We compliment one another's life and enjoy being around each other. We support each other and yet we give each other total freedom in our life to pursue other things. It's the way it should be in my opinion. Love without absolute attachment...because once you start clinging then you start trying to control and once you start controlling then it is a whole different type of relationship. That's definitely not something we want.Cuando encuentras a alguien que puede manejar tu equipaje y quiere amarte por todo lo que eres ... tanto lo bueno como lo malo ... entonces tienes que aferrarte a ellos. Es así de simple. Y aunque las relaciones requieren mucho trabajo para tener éxito, en realidad son bastante simples. Nos complementamos la vida del otro y disfrutamos estar cerca el uno del otro. Nos apoyamos mutuamente y, sin embargo, nos damos total libertad en nuestra vida para perseguir otras cosas. Es como debería ser en mi opinión. Amor sin apego absoluto ... porque una vez que comienzas a aferrarte, comienzas a tratar de controlar y una vez que comienzas a controlar, entonces es un tipo de relación completamente diferente. Eso definitivamente no es algo que queremos.#travel #gaytravel #gayman #husbands #gaylove #gaycouples #Pride #gaypride #mynormalgaylife

I was wandering around a small town in Cuba trying to avoid the intense heat of the middle of the day by sticking to the shadows when I saw this sight. I could hear salsa music playing in the distance and people from the village were all out in the streets talking and generally carrying on their day-to-day activities. It was a perfect moment and I pushed the shutter release button. I love the symmetry, ruggedness, and colors of this photo. One day I hope to return to Cuba.Estaba deambulando por un pequeño pueblo en Cuba tratando de evitar el intenso calor del medio día pegándome a las sombras cuando vi esta vista. Podía escuchar música de salsa sonando a lo lejos y la gente del pueblo estaba en las calles hablando y generalmente realizando sus actividades cotidianas. Fue un momento perfecto y apreté el disparador. Me encanta la simetría, la robustez y los colores de esta foto. Algún día espero volver a Cuba.#travel #traveler #lgbt #gaytravel #cuba #trinidad #gayblogger #travelblogger #mynormalgaylife

During one of my trips to Puerto Vallarta, I decided to go on a nudist boat cruise because why not...yolo. The cruise took us from one secluded beach to another in this tiny little boat and it was pretty awesome. I really loved being out in the middle of nowhere and felt so bohemian.Durante uno de mis viajes a Puerto Vallarta, decidí hacer un crucero en barco nudista porque, pues por qué no? El crucero nos llevó de una playa aislada a otra en este pequeño bote y fue bastante impresionante.

Before starting My Normal Gay Life, I earned to Ma

Before starting My Normal Gay Life, I earned to Masters degrees. One of these was in Nonprofit Agricultural Development. During that time, I worked quite a lot with plants and even helped manage a farm. Plants have always been an important part of my life. Even as a child, I’d hike through the woods behind my house and dig up interesting specimens to plant at home. Now that the pandemic is for isn’t us all to take a break, a lot of my attention is taken up by my plants! This is only a small part of my collection. I love plants! Antes de comenzar Mi vida gay normal, obtuve una maestría. Uno de ellos fue en Desarrollo Agrícola Sin Fines de Lucro. Durante ese tiempo, trabajé bastante con plantas e incluso ayudé a administrar una granja. Las plantas siempre han sido una parte importante de mi vida. Incluso cuando era niño, caminaba por el bosque detrás de mi casa y desenterraba especímenes interesantes para plantar en casa. Ahora que la pandemia es para que no todos tomemos un descanso, ¡mis plantas me prestan mucha atención! Esta es solo una pequeña parte de mi colección. ¡Amo las plantas!#houseplants #patio #gayman #gayguy #lgbt #Pride #gayplant #plantlover #houseplantlover #plantdaddy #plants #boyswithplants #urbanpothos

Driving through rural NC, I see lots and lots of abandoned buildings. Most of them are typically old tobacco barns but sometimes I find old houses like this one in the middle of a soybean field. It only had windows on half the building and I wonder if it’s surroundings were always an agricultural field. Who lives there and why was it abandone. In any case, I think it’s beautiful.Conduciendo por las zonas rurales de Carolina del Norte, veo montones y montones de edificios abandonados. La mayoría de ellos suelen ser antiguos establos de tabaco, pero a veces encuentro casas antiguas como esta en medio de un campo de soja. Solo tenía ventanas en la mitad del edificio y me pregunto si su entorno siempre fue un campo agrícola. Quién vive allí y por qué fue abandonado. En cualquier caso, creo que es hermoso.#nc #travel #travelblogger #traveler #abamadonedbuildings #abandoned #mynormalgaylife

As young person, I always dreamed of traveling. I remember reading a Mickey Mouse book when I was a child where he travels to some of the famous landmarks of the world and one of them was the Eiffel Tower. At that time, I thought I'd probably never see it in real life because I was poor and well, those things don't happen to poor people. Fast forward 25 years and I've seen the Eiffel Tower about 10 or so times on multiple trips to France. I could never imagine this being my reality as a child. I count myself as extremely fortunate and love sharing travel moments with all of you as a result.Como joven, siempre soñé con viajar. Recuerdo haber leído un libro de Mickey Mouse cuando era niño, donde viaja a algunos de los lugares más famosos del mundo y uno de ellos era la Torre Eiffel. En ese momento, pensé que probablemente nunca lo vería en la vida real porque era pobre y bueno, esas cosas no le pasan a la gente pobre. Avance rápido 25 años y he visto la Torre Eiffel alrededor de 10 veces más o menos en múltiples viajes a Francia. Nunca podría imaginar que esta fuera mi realidad como un niño. Como resultado, me considero extremadamente afortunado y me encanta compartir momentos de viaje con todos ustedes.#gaytravel #traveler #lgbt #gayman #eiffeltower #paris #france #europe #gayblogger #travelblogger #lifestyle #mynormalgaylife

When I traveled to Germany last year, I decided to visit my friend in the German state of Thüringen because it was a place I'd never considered exploring. She took me the city of Jena where there is a lovely little historic district. Of course this entire city was practically obliterated at the end of World War II by the Americans and British Allies so its historic district was rebuilt. The city is fun to walk around and explore...especially if you have a great guide!Cuando viajé a Alemania el año pasado, decidí visitar a mi amigo en el estado alemán de Thüringen porque era un lugar que nunca había considerado explorar. Ella me llevó a la ciudad de Jena, donde hay un pequeño y encantador distrito histórico. Por supuesto, toda la ciudad fue prácticamente destruida al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial por los estadounidenses y los aliados británicos, por lo que su distrito histórico fue reconstruido. La ciudad es divertida para pasear y explorar ... ¡especialmente si tienes una gran guía!#travel #gaytraveo #lgbttravel #traveler #germany #jena #europe #travelblogger #mynormalgaylife

Just a man and his plants! Well, these are just a couple of my plants. Being forced to take a hiatus from travel due to the global pandemic has taken its toll on me. The world and everything I’ve built seems so uncertain these days. I jump in and out of being sad regarding not being able to travel. And I’m not certain when I’ll be able to travel again. I miss France. I miss Mexico. And I miss the friends I have that live elsewhere. Heck, I even miss my friends here. We live in a very different world now. But I am keeping myself busy hoarding plants and planning a future business. Taking care of my Satin Pothos and Birds of Paradise here! Nonetheless, I cannot wait to go an adventure! ¡Solo un hombre y sus plantas! Bueno, estas son solo algunas de mis plantas. Ser obligado a tomar un descanso del viaje debido a la pandemia mundial me ha pasado factura. El mundo y todo lo que he construido parece tan incierto en estos días. Me siento triste por no poder viajar. Y no estoy seguro de cuándo podré viajar de nuevo. Extraño Francia. Extraño México. Y extraño a los amigos que tengo que viven en otro lugar. Diablos, incluso extraño a mis amigos aquí. Vivimos en un mundo muy diferente ahora. Pero me mantengo ocupado atesorando plantas y planeando un negocio futuro. Sin embargo, ¡no puedo esperar para emprender una aventura!#guyswithplants #plants #blogger #gayblogger #lifestyle #houseplants #pothos #urbanpothos #boyswithplants #plantsofinstagram #houseplantlover #gayplantlover #gayplantdad #plantgay #gaywithplants #plantdaddy

Do you enjoy walking through cemeteries? I do beca

Do you enjoy walking through cemeteries? I do because they are peaceful and serene, well tended and usually green, and there's quite a lot of artwork and history to be explored. When Alfred and I travel together, we will often find ourselves wandering through a graveyard nonchalantly. For instance, here we hanging out in the pre-Revolutionary War area of the Old Dutch Burial Ground in Sleepy Hollow, NY. We were definitely keeping watch for the Headless Horseman! Thanks to @travelonthebrain for this shot! ¿Te gusta caminar por los cementerios? Lo hago porque son pacíficos y serenos, bien cuidados y generalmente verdes, y hay muchas obras de arte e historia por explorar. Cuando Alfred y yo viajamos juntos, a menudo nos encontramos vagando por un cementerio con indiferencia. Por ejemplo, aquí pasamos el rato en el área anterior a la guerra revolucionaria del antiguo cementerio holandés en Sleepy Hollow, Nueva York. ¡Definitivamente estábamos vigilando al Jinete sin cabeza!#travel #traveler #gayblogger #travelblogger #lgbt #husbands #spooky #gayman #gaystud #gaycouples #mynormalgaylife

Do you know the island of Thera (Santorini), was once much larger but in 1646 a massive volcanic eruption blew the island apart forming it into two islands with, basically, a hole in the center that filled with sea water. If you look at a map of Santorini you'll notice it appears that island is missing sections...because it is actually missing a giant portion. It's fascinating! But today you can visit the island and appreciate the beauty of its architecture. Eventually another volcanic eruption will happen as the volcano is still active...the question is when. ¿Sabes que la isla de Thera (Santorini), una vez fue mucho más grande pero en 1646 una erupción volcánica masiva voló la isla y la convirtió en dos islas con, básicamente, un agujero en el centro que se llenó de agua de mar. Si miras un mapa de Santorini, notarás que parece que a la isla le faltan secciones ... porque en realidad le falta una porción gigante. ¡Es fascinante! Pero hoy puedes visitar la isla y apreciar la belleza de su arquitectura. Eventualmente ocurrirá otra erupción volcánica ya que el volcán aún está activo ... la pregunta es cuándo.#travel #traveler #gaytravel #lgbt #greece #thera #santorini #europe #gayblogger #travelblogger #mynormalgaylife #viajar
