About ShouldGo

Our Mission

ShouldGo exists to make trip planning easier, more affordable, and less overwhelming. We create detailed, research-driven travel guides that give you everything you need to plan a great trip — from day-by-day itineraries and budget breakdowns to honest hotel recommendations and practical tips.

We believe that the best travel content is specific, actionable, and transparent. That means real prices, real advice, and clear disclosure when we earn a commission.

What We Cover

We currently publish in-depth guides for 9 destinations across 3 languages (English, Chinese, and Spanish):

Asia

Europe

Americas

Our Editorial Standards

Every guide we publish follows these principles:

  • Research-driven: We cross-reference official tourism boards, local sources, and traveler experiences to ensure accuracy. Prices, hours, and practical info are verified against current data.
  • Budget transparency: Every guide includes a detailed daily budget breakdown at three tiers — budget, mid-range, and luxury — with specific prices in local currency.
  • Honest hotel picks: Our hotel recommendations are based on location, guest ratings, and value for money. We recommend properties we would genuinely book ourselves.
  • Regular updates: We review and update our guides to keep prices, visa requirements, and practical info current.

How We Make Money

ShouldGo is an independent publication. We earn revenue through affiliate commissions — when you book a hotel through one of our links, we receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep our guides free.

Our affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial choices. We recommend hotels based on quality and value, not commission rates. We clearly mark affiliate links throughout our content in accordance with FTC guidelines.

Why Three Languages?

Travel is universal, but good travel content isn't equally available in every language. We publish every guide in English, Chinese (简体中文), and Spanish (Español) because travelers around the world deserve the same quality of information. Our translations are crafted for natural readability, not run through a machine translator.
