About Us

We made this travel site to help you make trip decisions. Our purpose is to provide inspiration, information, and tips that can help you plan your next holiday.

You’ll find topics that can range from the best landscapes, cities, monuments, and wildlife, to less thrilling parts of planning a trip such as deciding the best time to visit and how to get from the airport to your destination. We are not travel agents, so we don’t provide quotes or book flights, hotels, or rental cars.
