Discover What Other Travel Blogs Don’t Talk About
🌎 I’m not just a budget traveler. I’m not just luxury either. Over the last 8 years of running Global Viewpoint, I’ve realized my role isn’t to fit into a narrow box…it’s to fill a gap.
I create travel content that solves real problems. Not just “best of” lists for the obvious places, but curated guides for the underrepresented: unique restaurants in overlooked cities, air travel hacks nobody’s heard of, and emerging destinations that most travel blogs haven’t touched.
My focus is simple: serve the parts of the travel experience that the internet hasn’t done justice to. I spot content gaps, ask what travelers are still searching for, and build resources that actually help.
What Makes My Content Different
I’m not just here to show you pretty places. I’m here to change the way you travel.
There’s a lot of travel content out there that looks good but doesn’t do much…vague lists, outdated info, or surface-level fluff that barely scratches the surface. That’s not what I’m about.
Before you book anything, don’t miss these deals 👇
- ✈️ Find cheap flights you won't see on Google - Going.com saves me $200+ per ticket
- 🏨 Book your stay – The best 2025 deals on boutique hotels and vacation homes
With every blog post I write, my goal is simple:
👉 Give you real, specific, experience-backed advice that saves you time, money, and travel headaches.
I’ve spent years building Global Viewpoint into a resource people can trust. That means:
- Sharing insider tips you won’t find on TripAdvisor or generic blogs
- Highlighting hidden gems and underrated destinations that deserve more attention
- Giving honest, firsthand recommendations to save you time and money
- Providing exact costs, booking tips, and timing advice so your trip runs smoother
- Offering unique angles (like what to do at night in outdoor towns, or where to eat in secondary cities) that fill the content gaps online
Over the past 8 years, I’ve visited 70+ countries and tested hundreds of travel hacks, stays, and itineraries…so you don’t have to. If you’re looking for both inspiration and execution, this blog was built for you.
