Expanded Author Bio

Upton Rand is an adventurer, storyteller, and the author of “Gay Campgrounds: The Ultimate Gay Camping Travel Guide.” Blending humor with heartfelt experiences, Upton’s book is part travel guide, part hilarious memoir, capturing the wild and wonderful world of gay camping. He shares misadventures that range from wrestling uncooperative tents to witnessing drag queens having dance-offs with confused deer, all while providing valuable insights into the LGBTQ+ camping community.

 

A passionate advocate for health and wellness, Upton is committed to promoting safe and informed experiences within the community. He’s a strong supporter of PrEP and the U=U movement (Undetectable = Untransmittable), breaking down important research in an accessible and entertaining way within his book. Additionally, a portion of his book sales is donated to the Cleveland AIDS Task Force, reflecting his dedication to giving back.

 

Upton’s engaging storytelling and unique perspective make him an ideal podcast guest for discussions on LGBTQ+ culture, travel, health, and the joys (and comedic pitfalls) of embracing the great outdoors. Whether he’s encouraging a generation to step away from dating apps and reconnect face-to-face or sharing laughter-filled anecdotes from his journeys, Upton brings warmth, humor, and inspiration to every conversation.
