Who we are, how we research destinations, and how live pricing works alongside our editorial guides.
With 15 years in travel journalism spanning four continents, Sofia founded BoardedIn to bridge the gap between editorial depth and actionable travel data. Previously at Condé Nast Traveler and Monocle.

BoardedIn is published by RDMS Global Solutions. Each destination guide is attributed to a regional editor profile, shown at the top of the page with the date the guide was last updated.
Guides are drafted with AI assistance against a structured editorial brief that asks for named neighbourhoods, venues and transport routes, and price ranges with the month they refer to. The text then goes through automated checks that catch broken sentences, empty formatting and formulaic titles.
Where a guide carries a practical planning block, it lists the official sources consulted and the date they were checked. Where we could not confirm something, we say so. We do not claim to have personally visited or tested the places described. Details are in our editorial standards.
BoardedIn is free to read. We earn a commission when a reader books flights, accommodation, activities, transfers, car hire or an eSIM through a partner link, at no extra cost to the reader. We also show advertising.
We do not accept payment for coverage. Every partner is listed on our affiliate disclosure page.
If something on the site is wrong — an outdated price, a closed restaurant, a route that no longer runs — tell us through the contact page. We look into reports and correct the guide when the error is confirmed.
