Travelbinger was founded by Jimmy Im, a nationally recognized travel and lifestyle writer and expert. He was a TV host on Travel Channel (“Confessions of a Travel Writer”), a critic on Bravo‘s “Best New Restaurant” and a travel expert on shows and programs, including CNBC, Nightline, and The Morning Blend.

In 2025, Travelbinger was proudly acquired by ADICO Inc., the same media company behind Backyard Garden Lover. When we’re not in our gardens, we’re out exploring the world, and Travelbinger is where our wanderlust lives. Under ADICO’s ownership, we continue to bring our readers immersive travel stories, insider tips, and the kind of honest, passionate travel content that inspired the site from day one. Whether you’re planning your next big adventure or just daydreaming, we’re here to help you travel smarter — and maybe a little bolder.

You can find us on Newsbreak, Smart News, Apple News, and more.
