Eriks's Editorial Philosophy
Our editorial philosophy is simple: provide our viewers with trustworthy information, reviews, insights and tips on the destinations we visit, hotels we stay at, and cruises we embark on all in an objective manner. Periodically, we’ll also provide tips and helpful hints and ‘breaking’ coverage on major travel related news; however, overall, our aim is to provide honest, useful and entertaining travel content to the traveling public. We’re not here to bash anyone and we’re not trying to take anyone down; nor will you find us gushing in an inappropriate manner about the greatness of a product (unless it’s so incredibly fabulous we can’t help but gush).
If you believe your travel product, service or experience can stand up to an honest review then we’d love to hear from you. We will try it out for ourselves, come to our own conclusions and develop programming that will help educate, inspire and hopefully entertain, our viewers.
Our contextual and pre-roll video advertisements are supplied by our sponsors and Google.

MEET ERIK THE TRAVEL GUY

My name is Erik Hastings, (a.k.a. Erik the Travel Guy) and I am an EMMY award-winning television personality who speaks directly to viewers who simply "get their vacations wrong". In addition to being a single dad of two amazing children, I am the host and managing editor of the internationally syndicated television series "Beyond Your Backyard" for public broadcasting stations (PBS) and other networks/VOD platforms. I am thrilled to be a part of an incredibly talented team of industry pros and the editorial driving force of my media platform. While the travel industry directly supports millions of families worldwide, I believe travel makes the world a better place. Through exploration and discovery, I have learned that travel brings cultures together. Read Erik's Full Bio.
