Don't let the high cost of travel keep you at home. Now you can travel with low cost accommodations, meet other gay men and share travel experiences. If the warmth of the bed and breakfast experience appeals to you, but not the cost, join TLC Club and stay in private homes of gay men located across the United States, in Canada, Britain, Germany, Australia and a growing number of other countries. Our hosts are individuals or couples who enjoy meeting others and sharing their homes.

TLC Club has two types of membership  (back to top)

H O S T   M E M B E R S H I P :  If you become a host member, you offer that extra bedroom, breakfast (optional), and an hour or so of your time to aquaint the fellow member with your area. Your guests then give you a gratuity to help defray your costs. When you travel, you do the same. Consequently, if you travel as many times as you host, your lodging is free! The number of times per year a host member has guests is at his own discretion.

N O N - H O S T   M E M B E R S H I P :  If you do not have the room or the time to host other travelers, you can still participate in the TLC Club experience and enjoy our friendly accommodations. The yearly membership fee for Non-hosts is higher.

 

Here's How It Works For You  (back to top)

  • Become a Host or Non-host member (all members enjoy the same travel benefits).
  • Receive a user name and password, then search the TLC Club Online Directory for hosts at your destination.
  • Contact the host to arrange your stay.
  • Reconfirm your travel plans with the host a few days prior to your arrival.
  • Upon arrival, give the gratuity to your host and enjoy your stay.
