About Our Travel Content

NTJ publishes both firsthand travel stories and destination or itinerary guides researched from official sources. Each page is clearly labeled so editorial research is not mistaken for a personal visit. Of the 61 travel articles, 32 are first-hand records of places we visited ourselves; the remainder are guides compiled and checked against official sources.
