About

We're Fabio and Ryan... a Venetian and a British/Italian-American from New Jersey who met in Berlin, realized our day jobs were slowly killing us, and decided to do something about it. The result is The Fabryk: a gay travel site covering the destinations most LGBTQ+ guides ignore.

Between us, we've lived in Germany, China, India, and Italy, and traveled across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and beyond. Ryan has over a decade on the ground in Asia alone. Fabio has covered gay nightlife, Pride events, and queer travel scenes across three continents. Together, we've built one of the few English-language resources that goes deep on gay travel beyond the usual circuit cities... think Gay Tbilisi, Gay Chengdu, Gay Belgrade... written from actual firsthand experience.

Our mission is straightforward: show LGBTQ+ travelers that going off the beaten path isn't just possible. It's usually the better move.

We tried to start a cooking show first in our underwear. But as our stove broke, it clearly did not go well. Travel turned out to be the better idea.

Enjoy, sexy readers ❤️.
