Local authors speak on gay travel and ‘staycations’

Matt Burkhalter and Jordan McAuley wrote the book on gay life in Atlanta, literally.

Matt Burkhalter and Jordan McAuley wrote the book on gay life in Atlanta, literally. In 2005 they published ATLANTAboy: An Insider’s Guide to Gay Atlanta — the product of Burkhalter and McAuley’s lifelong friendship and in-depth knowledge of gay Atlanta history. Since then, they’ve been tapped to author the upcoming Atlanta volume of the widely respected Out Traveler book series. Tomorrow, Saturday January 24, they’ll be speaking at the Atlanta Travel Expo on a panel entitled “Gay Travel: Hot New Destinations, Events, Tours, and Cruises.” They’ll also be discussing “staycations” in Atlanta — the latest trend in low-impact, low-cost time off. Check the Atlanta Travel Expo for more details.

The Out Traveler: Atlanta by Matt Burkhalter and Jordan McAuley will be published February 1, 2009.
