At Our Offbeat Life, we’re all about creating a friendly, informative, and helpful place for families who love to travel and seek unique experiences.
We believe in the power of sharing personal stories, specific recommendations, and broad advice to help you make the most out of your adventures.
To ensure the quality and reliability of our content, we’ve established a few guidelines which we adhere to.
Fact-Checking
We take the accuracy of our content very seriously. Each article on our site goes through a rigorous fact-checking process.
We, including our outside writers, personally research the topics we write about, using reliable sources such as official tourism websites, trusted news outlets, and reputable guidebooks.
After the initial research and writing phase, we review each piece, checking facts and verifying the information presented. If an outside writer or guest writer contributes an article, then we are especially attentive to fact-checking.
This process ensures that the content we provide is both accurate and up-to-date.
Source Citation
When we use information from external sources, we believe in giving credit where credit is due.
This means that all sources are referenced within the text and linked when possible, allowing our readers to easily find and explore the source of the information.
If you find a missing citation, please contact us so that we can correct it!
Unbiased Reporting
Our commitment to you, our readers, is to provide unbiased, honest content.
While we do share personal anecdotes and experiences, we strive to present information objectively, allowing you to form your own opinions.
However, there are times that we speak against a topic or activity because we find it to be unethical, such as riding elephants in Asia or swimming with captive dolphins.
Whenever we share information like this, we try to link to non-profit experts or research studies so that you can read more about it and make your own decisions if you want to pursue those activities.
Our goal is to give you the information you need to create your own unique travel experiences in an authentic yet ethical way.
Sponsorships and Advertising
Yes, we do accept sponsorships and advertisements on our site. But rest assured, this does not influence our editorial content.
Any sponsored content is marked as such at the beginning of the post. We believe in transparency and honesty, so if a post is sponsored, you’ll know right away.
However, accepting sponsorships doesn’t mean compromising our editorial integrity. We only partner with brands and companies that align with our values and are of interest to our readers.
Even when content is sponsored, we maintain our commitment to unbiased reporting. We’ll always give you our honest opinion, whether we’re reviewing a sponsored product or a destination.
Conclusion
Our Editorial Policy is just one way we ensure the quality and reliability of our content. We’re committed to providing you with useful, accurate information in a friendly, conversational tone.
We hope this policy gives you a better understanding of our processes and commitments. Happy travels!
