How the Magazine works

  • Only photos we took

    Editorial stories use photos our team took while traveling; traveler stories use only photos the author took. The shooting date is shown with each photo.

  • Only places we've been

    We never write about places we haven't been. Instead of prices and opening hours that change, we record what we actually saw there, as it was.

  • No AI images, no stock photos

    Unlike other pages on the site, the Magazine uses no generated or stock images. Traveler stories are checked by our team before they go live.
