Navigate Your State is a free online resource dedicated to helping residents and visitors discover the best of twelve American states — hidden gems, local travel guides, weekend getaways, and the stories that make each state unlike anywhere else. We are able to provide you with free travel guides through a revenue model that consists of affiliate income and, in the future, display advertising.
The views and suggestions presented on this site originate from Navigate Your State or our team of dedicated writers. Editorial opinions expressed on the site are strictly our own, and are not provided, endorsed, or approved by any partner or advertiser. To understand more about our commitment to generating authentic, locally-rooted content, please refer to our editorial process.
We do not currently run display advertising on Navigate Your State. As the site grows, we plan to partner with a premium ad management network. When that partnership is in place, we will update this page accordingly. For additional details on how we handle your data, please see our Privacy Policy.
Our primary income source is via affiliate relationships with trusted travel and lifestyle brands, where we earn a commission when a reader purchases a product or books a service after being directed through us. This comes at no additional cost to you.
We are very particular about our partnerships. Navigate Your State receives inquiries from potential partners regularly, and we decline the vast majority of these proposals. If we feel a product or service is not in the best interest of our readers, we will not recommend it.
For the sake of transparency, our current affiliate relationships include:
- Amazon
- Booking.com
- DiscoverCars
- GetYourGuide
- TripAdvisor
- Viator
