Gay zürich
Here's our gay travel manual to Zurich, including where to stay, eat, party, and more.
Zurich. A municipality so organized, so competent, so perfect in every way, it is said to run like clockwork.
Enter the Nomadic Boys: two ditzy, calamity homosexual guys descending upon the city, with their mouths agape, and disrupting the peace entirely. We were two pink peas in a pod!
