Mara Jensen
Editor-in-Chief & Co-Founder, Loris8
Mara has been travel-writing for over a decade and has been through airport security on five continents more times than she can count. She started Loris8 after one too many generic, ad-stuffed travel sites that couldn't answer a simple question like "how much does this actually cost." As editor-in-chief she sets the bar for every guide on the site: real prices in USD, visa rules that don't assume you're American, and zero filler. If a page has a table or a number in it, Mara has checked it. She personally owns the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, and Switzerland guides — her most-visited home patch.
