I’m a TV Producer/Host, a YouTuber/Influencer, a Travel Writer… and I was Mr. Gay Canada 2019!
Hi, I’m Josh Rimer and I’m based in Vancouver, BC – but I’m often travelling! I’m primarily known for the travel videos that I produce and host for my YouTube channel as well as Canada’s national LGBTQ TV station OUTtv. My YouTube channel has over 40K subscribers and over 1.2 million Canadians have OUTtv on its own or in a package through their cable providers!
I’m quite active on my social media and have a pretty engaged following of people who’ve been watching and interacting with me online for years. Daily Hive, which is western Canada’s largest online-only publication, did an article about my journey (both in terms of my travels and in terms of being a YouTuber).
I also occasionally do travel writing and have written for IN Magazine (Canada’s only national LGBTQ2+ lifestyle magazine), GayCalgary Magazine (Alberta’s LGBTQ+ magazine), and Luxe Beat Magazine (Luxury lifestyle magazine). Here is a travel article I wrote for IN Magazine (about Penticton, BC) and a cover story I wrote for GayCalgary Magazine (about Sannie aka Whigfield):
I’ve been hired to write/produce/host videos for other people as well (see Gayosphere screenshot below) and I often do brand deals on my Instagram and TikTok accounts with companies that I like and use – which in 2023 included ones like Netflix, Square, WestJet and TacoTime for example.
