Lead editor

Sophia is the lead editor of About.Travel. She decides what gets covered, what gets held back, and what a page has to contain before it is worth publishing. The site goes deep on one place before starting the next, which is a deliberate editorial choice rather than a limitation: a country covered properly is worth more to a reader than twenty covered thinly.

How these guides are made

Every guide is built from primary sources. Anything procedural - visa rules, entry requirements, transit passes - is checked against the operator or government page that governs it, never against another travel site. Anything numeric carries the date it was checked, because a price without a date is not information. Photographs come from Wikimedia Commons under their individual Creative Commons licences and are credited where they appear, and where a plan detail comes from a provider's own catalogue rather than from our checking, the page says so.

Editorial standards

  • No paid placements. We do not accept payment for a placement, a ranking or a favourable review. Where a link earns a commission, the page carrying it says so.
  • No untested claims. We do not say we have tried something we have not. Prices and plan details supplied by a provider are labelled as indicative rather than presented as our own findings.
  • No page for the sake of a keyword. A destination gets a page when there is something specific to say about it. That is why the site is small.
  • Corrections are made in public. A factual fix is applied to the page and the update date changes with it.
