Editorial Policy
Last Updated: July 2026
At Big John’s Adventures in Travel, my goal is simple: to inspire others to explore the world, appreciate history, and discover places they may have otherwise overlooked.
This website is built around my personal travel experiences, historical interests, and a genuine love of adventure. Every article is written with the intention of informing, entertaining, and encouraging readers to begin their own journeys.
My Commitment to Accuracy
Whenever possible, I rely on firsthand experience when writing about destinations I’ve visited.
When writing about history, I research reliable books, historical records, museums, official publications, and other reputable sources. While I do my best to ensure the information is accurate, history often contains differing interpretations, and new discoveries continue to shape our understanding of the past.
If I make a factual error, I will correct it as quickly as practical.
Firsthand Experiences
Many of the stories you’ll read here are based on places I have personally visited.
These articles reflect my own observations, experiences, and opinions at the time of travel. Your experience may differ depending on the season, local conditions, changes to attractions, or your own travel style.
Historical Articles
History has always fascinated me, and many of my travels are inspired by the stories behind the places I visit.
Historical articles are carefully researched and written to provide context and understanding while recognizing that reasonable historians may interpret certain events differently. Where legends, folklore, or local traditions are discussed, I make every effort to distinguish them from documented historical facts.
Independence
The opinions expressed on this website are entirely my own.
If I recommend a destination, attraction, hotel, restaurant, product, or service, it is because I genuinely believe it may be worthwhile to fellow travelers—not because someone paid me to say so.
Advertising and Affiliate Relationships
This website may display advertising through Google AdSense or other advertising partners.
Some articles may also contain affiliate links. If you purchase a product or service through one of these links, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Advertising and affiliate relationships never influence my editorial decisions, opinions, or recommendations.
Sponsored Content
Should I ever publish sponsored content, it will be clearly identified so readers can easily distinguish it from my independent editorial work.
Reader Feedback
I welcome respectful comments, corrections, and suggestions from readers.
If you notice inaccurate information or have additional historical context to share, I appreciate hearing from you. Thoughtful feedback helps improve this website for everyone.
Why This Website Exists
Big John’s Adventures in Travel began with a simple belief:
Every destination has a story.
Sometimes it’s found in a famous landmark. Sometimes it’s hidden along a forgotten back road. Other times it’s discovered through the people you meet or the unexpected moments that never make it into a guidebook.
If this website encourages even one person to take a trip, visit a historic site, explore a new trail, or simply look a little closer at the world around them, then I’ve accomplished exactly what I set out to do.
Thank you for coming along for the adventure.
