EXPLORE INFORMED is a travel show where we delve into the details of travel, explore an interesting topic or try to answer a frequently asked question – all with the aim of hopefully learning something new so that we can be better informed the next time we explore are .

We hope to provide information, advice and education in the form of travel tips, travel hacks, travel essentials and even travel warnings or things to look out for – so you can explore the world a little smarter.

Please note: Unless otherwise stated, I am NOT paid or reimbursed to talk about specific travel brands (e.g. airlines, hotel chains, tour operators). My intention is to simply give my true, honest opinion based on what I know, research, read, etc.
