Leanheimsness is a journal for travel and hotels. Honest guides for the curious traveler, written by working writers and former hotel staff, not salesmen.
Who we are
We are a small crew of travelers and hotel workers who got tired of brochures pretending to be advice. Leanheimsness started in 2021 as a shared notebook of trip notes. Today it reaches thousands of monthly readers planning city breaks and long weekends.
Our mission
We make travel planning honest and cheap. Every week we publish free news and buying guides on our five sections: Destinations, Hotels & Resorts, Food & Culture, Budget Travel and Travel Gear. You get real 2026 prices, route times and booking checks you can act on.
Editorial standards
No sponsored picks, no pay-to-rank lists. We buy at retail what we test, disclose relationships, and correct mistakes in public within 48 hours. Numbers come from published fares, hotel rate cards and park authorities, never from press releases. If a product fails in real use, we say so. Our ethics follow the guidance published by the Society of Professional Journalists.
The team
Mara Delgado (city guides), Daniel Okafor (hotels and fees), Elena Costa (food and culture), Sofia Bergland (budget travel) and Owen Blake (gear). Supported by contributing testers who review every guide before it ships.
