Our friend Aaron talks about his experience in Egypt where, despite living and traveling as an openly gay man, he chose to jump back into the closet for better or for worse. Find out why, and share with us if you agree with his actions…

Welcome to our weekly series Hotel Tip of The Week. Being on the road every day of the year means we stay at countless hotels along the way.

This week’s Hotel Tip: Belmonte Vacanze in Tuscany, Italy.
