TravelMagma is about planning a trip that goes right: where to go and when, what it costs, what to pack, and the mistakes worth skipping, from Florida and the Caribbean to Mexico, Europe, the Middle East and beyond. Our free travel tools do the planning arithmetic.

Who writes it

A note on our names: TravelMagma is written by a small team under pen names, one name for each job. Jeff is the name on our destination guides and travel tips.

Our guides are built from the official sources (airlines, parks, embassies and tourist boards) and from what travelers report. Prices, rules and timetables change, so check the official page before you book.

Our books

Two short e-books carry Jeff’s name: Things I Wish I Knew Before Going to Japan and The Caribbean Travel Guide. Both are on our books page.
