  • Pledge to Our Readers:

    We cover destinations that we know well. My writers and I are passionate travelers and spend tremendous effort planning trips that excite us and our readers.

    My writers and I are committed to not using AI in lieu of human fact-checking and research. Our writers have visited the locations they write about, often many times. This is how we can provide the important ”I’ve been there” perspective.

    When we fact-check an attraction, we pull information from its website (known as a primary source), not a secondary source like a visitor bureau site. Most articles are updated and fact-checked annually by a seasoned editor.

    Photos have not been altered outside of cropping or straightening. Know that you are looking at what we saw and experienced. This is our commitment to our readers.

    Safe Travels.
