Editorial standards
The rules this site is published under.
Each one in Artur and Michelle’s own words where they have stated it, followed by how the site holds to it.
First-hand only
We do not write about anywhere we have not personally been.
A country appears on this site because they have slept there. A country with no guide yet is listed as visited and is not a link: there is no page about a place until there is something first-hand to put on it.
Everything is dated
We only write about places we have been ourselves — and we date everything, because things change.
Every guide shows when it was last revised, and lists what changed underneath it. The date moves only when the content does: a guide cannot be made to look fresh by touching its timestamp.
The photographs
The photos are ours, shot on the road — the views, the food, and the occasional disaster.
No stock photography is used anywhere on this site, and a guide cannot be published here without a photograph of its own. The exceptions are a hotel’s or a venue’s own photographs of itself — a bar’s, a club’s — which a guide that recommends the place may show under it, credited to it, and photographs of Artur or Michelle that a photographer took and they paid for, credited to the photographer.
Corrections
Corrections are wanted: send one and the guide is fixed. The change is recorded in that guide’s own list of changes, not edited away silently.
Affiliate links
Some outbound links pay the site a commission. A guide that has any says so at its top, before the first of them, and again with the booking links at its end. A box of them, like a guide's hotels or tours, says so beside its links. How this site makes money has the detail.
