About Travel Hacks
Travel Hacks Travel Hacks is a small editorial site about saving real money on trips. Most travel-hack posts age badly: the booking trick stops working, the script gets you laughed at, the packing list ignores the rain. So we only publish what we've used ourselves, and we date-stamp every page so you know how recent the check was.
Our Story
Founded in 2024 by editors and specialists, Travel Hacks We started with Bali because that's where most of us travel a lot. The 47 Bali posts cover the specifics — ATM fees, scooter rentals, warungs, scams to avoid, where to actually stay. The rest of the site is the smaller, more universal stuff that comes up on every trip: flights, hotels, packing, what to do when something goes wrong.
Our Expertise & Experience
We're a handful of writers who travel a lot and like writing things down. Roles are loose; everyone helps with everything.
- Writers: We pitch what we want to cover and ship a draft when we've actually done the thing.
- Local checkers: Friends in Bali, Bangkok, and a couple of other cities who tell us when a price moved or a route closed.
- Editor: One person who reads everything and keeps the voice consistent.
Our Research Process
Every guide we publish is locally grounded and verified:
- Pick something we've used: If we haven't actually done the trick on a recent trip, we don't publish it.
- Write the steps short: If a tip can't fit in a few sentences, it's probably not a hack.
- Add the catch: Every hack has a downside or an exception. We list it.
- Re-check it: We revisit pages when we hear about a change, or roughly every quarter for the busy ones.
What We Do
Using our global network and deep research, Travel Hacks Write down the small things that quietly save money on a trip, then keep them current.
Our Commitment to Authenticity
We are committed to:
- Actually used it: If we wrote it down, one of us did it on a recent trip.
- Honest about money: We make some money from affiliate links to Viator and GetYourGuide. They don't change which hacks we recommend.
- We will tell you when something stops working: Conditions move. We mark old posts as outdated and re-test the ones with traffic.
- Reader email > rankings: If a reader emails us a correction, we fix the post that day. We don't care about losing a position.
Trust & Credibility
Our editors maintain high editorial standards. Content is vetted for accuracy, authenticity, availability, and on-the-ground relevance before publication.
