REVIEWS: Why I Write Them and How I Stay Objective

Sometimes it strikes me as quite pretentious to write reviews but I strive to be as transparent as possible with my trips so this goes along with that.

The aim of my reviews is simply to give you my first hand experience on a flight or staying on a property so that you are able to get as much information as possible about the plane seat or hotel that you are considering booking. There’s a lot of information as I try to make them as thorough as possible knowing that what’s most important for you may be dramatically different from what I value.

And while it does seem a bit snobbish to write that an airline lounge may be average or even meh or that a cruise ship is starting to feel really outdated, the reality is that as you travel often and go to a lot of airport lounges, stay at many hotels, take dozens of flights, etc, the differences do become apparent and sometimes are quite stark.

I try to balance that in my reviews with the fact that for some this may be their first airport lounge/business class/luxury hotel experience so I look to showcase how they may differ from they are used to with traveling.

Lastly, one of the biggest reasons why I have this site is to inspire people to travel and to show how you can replicate my trips. I pay for everything myself using either miles/points or cash and include all of that information in the reviews to underline my commitment to staying objective (vs seeking out sponsored trips/stays/flights).

But at the end of the day for me, travel is a luxury and I am grateful to be able to do as much as I can and am teaching you how you can travel for cheaper, better and/or more often.
