About Sparkling Mirror
About
We travel slowly and write it down honestly. An independent journal for people who would rather spend a week in one valley than a day in seven cities.
Our story
This journal started as a shared spreadsheet: what a bed cost, which bus actually left on time, what we wished we had packed. Friends kept asking for it, so we turned it into a site.
We still work the same way. Every guide comes from time spent on the ground, every budget is built from what we actually spent, and when we get something wrong we say so in the next newsletter.
This is demo text. Replace it with your own story under Pages → About.
How we work
We pay our own way
Trips, beds and tours are paid for by us unless a story clearly says otherwise.
Real budgets
Costs come from receipts and spending logs, not from press releases.
Guides get updated
Guides show when they were last checked, and readers’ corrections are credited.
Leave it better
We favour locally run stays and guides, and say so when a place is struggling with crowds.
