Lovers & Layovers is a community for people who travel, date and talk about it honestly. It started as a Substack by Leanne about dating abroad as a Black woman. The stories cover the holiday romances, the long distance situationships, and the moment you realise love doesn’t have to sit within ten miles of you on Hinge.

Now we’re taking those conversations offline. Our events bring together curious, open-minded travellers to debate, play, confess and connect. You might leave with new friends, a travel buddy, or a story of your own.

Follow us to hear about our next flight first.
