Last Updated: March 2026

At Somewhere With Sally, my goal is simple: to publish travel content that is honest, accurate, and genuinely useful. Whether you are planning your first trip to Italy or looking for hidden gems in Bali, you deserve information you can trust.

This Editorial Policy explains how content is created, reviewed, and published on this blog.

Who Creates the Content

All content on Somewhere With Sally is written by Sally Elia. Sally is an Australia-based travel writer with a background as a professional tour guide in Egypt, and personal travel experience across Italy, France, Greece, Bali, and beyond.

Sally draws on first-hand visits, personal bookings, and direct conversations with local guides and operators to inform every article. Where personal experience is not available, this is clearly stated and the content is based on thorough independent research from credible, up-to-date sources.

How Content Is Researched

Every article published on this blog goes through a consistent research process:

First-hand experience is always prioritised. Recommendations for tours, hotels, and experiences are based wherever possible on Sally’s personal visits
Where personal visits are not available, information is cross-referenced across multiple reliable sources including official tourism boards, established travel publications, and direct contact with local operators
Pricing, hours, and availability are verified at the time of writing and updated periodically — readers are encouraged to confirm details directly with providers before booking
Historical and cultural information is checked against reputable reference sources

Accuracy & Updates

Travel information changes frequently. While every effort is made to keep content accurate and up to date:

Articles are reviewed and updated on a regular basis, particularly for time-sensitive details such as opening hours, entry fees, and booking requirements
The publication or last-updated date is displayed on each article so readers can assess how current the information is
If you notice outdated or incorrect information, please contact me at sallyelia81@yahoo.com — I take corrections seriously and will update the content promptly

Independence & Editorial Integrity

Somewhere With Sally operates with full editorial independence. This means:

No brand, advertiser, or affiliate partner has any influence over what is recommended or how it is reviewed
Sponsored content, gifted experiences, or press trips are always disclosed clearly within the relevant article
A sponsored stay or complimentary tour does not guarantee a positive review — honest assessments are given regardless of how an experience was obtained
Affiliate commissions are earned on some links, but these never affect which products or services are featured. See the Affiliate Disclaimer for full details

Comments & Community

Reader questions and comments are welcome and valued. All feedback is reviewed before being published. Comments that contain spam, misinformation, or offensive content will not be approved.

Use of AI Tools

Occasionally, AI writing tools may be used to assist with research summaries or initial drafts. However, all published content is personally reviewed, edited, and approved by Sally before going live. The voice, perspective, and recommendations on this blog are always hers.
