Pack Your Bags: Host or Travel Is Back for Another Season

Host or Travel is hitting the road again, and this time we're going harder, hotter, and a whole lot further. After Madrid served coño, Rio shook its bunda, Malta made magic, we asked ourselves: where to next?

The answer? A whole new season and seven new cities for your viewing and travel-planning pleasure...

The Gayborhood is going global

Before we get into the lineup, a little behind-the-curtain moment. We pulled our own in-app data to see how the community is moving around the world in 2026, and a few things jumped out:

• Paris, Rio, New York, Bangkok, São Paulo, and Berlin are the most-traveled cities among Grindr users worldwide.
• Right Now — our feature for users looking to meet up instantly — is most popular in Taiwan, the Philippines, Lima, Buenos Aires, and Medellín.
• Manila, Taipei, and Buenos Aires lead the world for late-night chats, while San Salvador, Colombo, and Kathmandu light up at sunrise.

For Season 3, we’re crossing borders across seven iconic cities with episodes airing. Here's where we're touching down: 

Sydney

We’re heading down under for harbor views, Bondi bodies, and a nightlife that refuses to call it quits. Think cheeky trims at the Naked Barber, boat parties that blur into sunrise, and Gayborhoods stretching from Darlinghurst to Newtown. Sydney doesn’t just show up - it shows off.

Austin

Keep Austin weird. Keep Austin horny. Texas’s bluest dot is serving honky-tonk drag, comedy, and BBQ so good it might ruin your dignity. Cowboys, dive bars, and a whole lot of “yeehaw.” Giddy up.

Puerto Vallarta

PV isn’t just a destination - it’s a rite of passage. Drag brunch? Mandatory. Rooftop dancers? Obviously. Pool parties at the Tryst Hotel? Pack accordingly. Zona Romántica goes all night (and then some). It’s paradise… with zero interest in behaving.

Paris

Oui, oui. We're going to gay Paris, but not just to visit the Eiffel Tower! The Marais is calling, the wine is flowing, and the flirting is dangerously effective. Museums by day, mischief by night, and just enough romance to make you text someone you shouldn’t.

Manila

Underrated? Not for long. Manila’s gay nightlife scene is loud, proud, and impossible to keep up with - in the best way. Karaoke marathons, food that changes your standards forever, and energy that doesn’t dip until well past sunrise. Consider this your wake-up call.

Lisbon

Sun-soaked, slow-burning, and effortlessly sexy. Start with pastéis de nata, drift into Príncipe Real, and end with a golden-hour Tagus view that feels a little too romantic. Don’t be surprised if you “accidentally” extend your stay.

Miami

Saving the sweatiest for last. South Beach rooftops, Wynwood's queer art scene, and pool parties that turn into after-parties that turn into "where am I" parties. Miami doesn't do subtle, and neither do we.

So… Host or Travel?

New episodes drop Tuesdays at 10 AM PST in the Grindr App and our YouTube channel.
