Hey there.

I’m Alson, the person behind this site — because I figured you might enjoy my insights on the latest tech and trends.

I’ve been tinkering with this site since 2008. The site has went through countless revisions and revamps, but it wasn’t until 2020 that I decided to turn it into something more purposeful. My mission? To help share my thoughts and insights help you make smarter choices about travel gear and experiences without sacrificing style for comfort.

Unlike those other travel blogs and sites where comfort reigns supreme, I’m all about how gear and my tech look — because who says you can’t be stylish while adventuring?

What sets this site apart from the rest? Well, let me break it down:

My Unique Take

This site is my personal playground. I test every product and experience myself, diving deep to give you the best insights. All reviews are crafted by yours truly, ensuring a touch of quality and impartiality.

Brutal Honesty

Expect no sugarcoating here. My reviews are unapologetically honest. If you’re a brand looking to partner with me, be prepared for feedback that can help you improve — maturity is key.

No Compromises

I don’t accept money to write glowing reviews. This site isn’t my main source of income, so I won’t compromise on quality or honesty just to make a buck. My goal is to provide readers with insights that genuinely help.

Focused Engagement

I’m not here to amass thousands of readers; I want engaged, loyal ones. Fewer views but stronger connections — that’s the plan.

Product Review

Got something you want reviewed? Send it my way, but it better fit the “3Bs” (black, beautiful, badass). Keep in mind:

  • You’ll cover all shipping and import fees. The product won’t be returned.
  • Only black products get reviewed. For any other goods, at least have a white or light version.
  • You can use the photos and content from the review for marketing, as long as it’s in context.
  • Sending a product doesn’t guarantee a favorable review, but it does guarantee honesty.
  • Reviews take time—expect a lead time of around two months.

Experience Review

Want me to review an experience? I’m game to explore anything from experience tours to accommodations, but:

  • You’ll need to cover all expenses like transport, accommodation, and daily costs.
  • As with product reviews, honesty is guaranteed, not flattery.

IMPORTANT: I DO NOT

Accept sponsored or guest posts.

  • Take compensated review requests.
  • Answer product questions via email — comments on reviews are your best bet for advice.
