Interview with Travel Writer and Author Tom Gates

I love to travel. And when I'm not traveling, I love to read about other people's travel adventures. So, naturally, I loved Tom Gates' book Wayward: Fetching Tales From a Year On The Road. Tom Gates is a gay man who quit his stressful music industry job to take a year off to travel and write about it. His stories are touching (meeting a lonely gay man in Malaysia), funny (musing about the celebrity of travel writers) and disturbing (eating dog in Vietnam.) He can be sardonic one moment and gleefully moved the next. Tom Gates took some time to talk to us about his book, his travels and why every LGBT person should get off the couch and go see the world.
