Queer Vagabond: nomad life, music festivals, burning man

Queer Vagabond

My name is Koi! I'm a nomad, a Burner, a raver, and a backpacker. I'm also Black, queer, and have a disability. My goal with Queer Vagabond is to inspire some folks to get outside who may not have done so before, and to show that everyone deserves to be outdoors, have amazing adventures, and be seen for who they are.

Queer Life

Exploring self expression, self love and queer culture for trans folks and allies, including the FTM transition experience,

living in and exploring intentional communities, and actively dismantling social barriers.

Nomad Life

Tips and advice for life on the road, including car camping, conversions, making money on the road, hiking, and more!

Travel

Tips, tricks, and guides to help you have a great time at Burning Man, regional burns, music festivals, and other explorative events.

Queer Vagabond is a blog celebrating diversity in the outdoors. You deserve to go on an adventure.
