Our editorial guidelines:

We're an editorially driven information site. We don't do "content marketing," we don't accept "guest posts" or "sponsored posts," and we don't sell SEO links.

Ads and a relatively small number of affiliate links provide needed revenue (travel research doesn't come cheap), but our core mission is about helping travelers with useful editorial content.
