About WaytoStay

Welcome to WayToStay, your source for epic travel guides, written by locals and experts. We’re here to help you find the best way to visit and stay in your chosen destination.

We publish the very best travel guides for locations around the world, written and edited by locals and experts. So not only will learn about the typical things to do and places to visit, you’ll get ‘inside knowledge’ from a local who’s lived in or visited the area. 

Our guides are suitable for all travelers, no matter what your style, budget, or preference. From backpacking, short stays, and annual vacations to solo travelers, couples, and families… we’ve got you covered.

Who Are We?

WayToStay.com was founded in 2022 by Lewis Ogden. After being frustrated by the lack of first-hand knowledge provided by other travel guides, I decided to create a dedicated resource for travelers of all budgets and types.

Our travel guides combine local and expert knowledge to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date information when it comes to the key questions we all have when visiting a destination. 

“When is the best time to go”, “Where is the best place to stay”, “What things can I do when I get there?”, “What is the weather like in June” and so much more.
