If you're here, you're probably wondering whether this blog is the right fit for what you're trying to do. Here's how to figure that out quickly.
The Audience
The people who read this blog are independent travelers. They're not looking for resort packages or all-inclusive deals — they're looking for real information about places that don't have a lot of honest coverage. They're budget-conscious but not cheap. They value experience over comfort. They've been burned by overhyped travel content before and they're skeptical of anything that smells like an ad.
Which means: if you have something genuinely good, they'll respond to it. And if you don't, they'll see through it immediately.
What Works Here
Things that work well on this blog: honest destination coverage, travel gear and tools that actually solve problems (especially for budget travelers), experiences that are genuinely off the beaten path, services that help independent travelers move and stay safely and cheaply.
Things that don't work here: resort packages, luxury travel products, anything I haven't personally used or genuinely believe in. I won't write fake reviews, and I won't pretend to love something I don't. That's not a moral stance — it's just how I maintain the trust of the people who read this.
What I Offer
Sponsored posts — Written in my voice, clearly disclosed, about things I've actually used or am genuinely interested in promoting.
Destination features — If you're a tourism board or destination looking for honest, ground-level coverage, let's talk. I'll go, I'll write what I actually find, and it'll read that way.
Social content — Instagram and TikTok @whereisbaldo. Short-form, real, no scripts.
Affiliate partnerships — If you have an affiliate program and your product fits this audience, I'm open to discussing it.
What I Won't Do
I won't publish content I wouldn't want to read myself. I won't pretend a sponsored post isn't a sponsored post. I won't write fake reviews. And I won't promote anything I think would waste my readers' money.
This isn't negotiable. It's the reason anyone reads this blog at all.
Get in Touch
The best way to start a conversation is through the contact page. Tell me who you are, what you're working on, and why you think it fits this audience. The more specific you are, the faster we can figure out whether this is a good fit.
I read everything and respond to things that seem genuine.
