Pavilion lands LGBTQ travel guide from travel bloggers

Kiron Gill, commission editor at Pavilion (HarperCollins), has signed Out in the World: The Gay Guide to Travelling With Pride by bloggers and travel influencers Stefan Arestis and Sebastien Chaneac, aka the Nomadic Boys. Pavilion bought world rights in a deal negotiated by David Headley.

In spite of attitudes to homosexuality in certain countries, Arestis and Chaneac have explored nearly every corner of the globe since giving up their comfortable London lives over ten years ago.

Out in the World (May 2024) aims to show the LGBTQ+ community that they can visit more places than they thought possible.

They said: “We are super excited and proud to publish Out in the World. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community means that we always have an extra layer of groundwork to do before we can safely jet off anywhere. Our travel guide provides LGBTQ+ travellers with a wealth of important safety tips and advice from our first-hand experience whilst also feeding their wanderlust as we take them on a FABULOUS journey around the world.”

Gill said: “While Seb and Stefan do not shy away from the hurdles that travel to some parts of the world can bring, they first and foremost celebrate all the unique, fun and meaningful experiences that the world has to offer - it is an absolute delight to be publishing this powerful and much-needed resource for the LGBTQ+ community.”
