About Samuel.
Samuel Knox is a London-based travel journalist and consumer travel expert who covers the way people actually move—by plane, train, and the occasional overnight ferry. Raised in a small coastal town, he caught the travel bug on family road trips and later while studying abroad, where he learned that good reporting starts with listening in bus stations and cafés. He holds an MA in International Journalism from City, University of London, and began his career on a local news desk before leaning fully into travel: airlines and routes, loyalty programs, hotel openings, and the ever-shifting rules that make or break a trip.
Samuel’s work blends on-the-ground field notes with data sense. He pressure-tests itineraries, decodes fare charts and redemption sweet spots, and turns policy changes into practical guidance for readers planning their next journey. He’s especially interested in the crossroads of traveler rights, accessibility, and value for money, and he’s known for clear explainers that help people make confident choices.
He’s happiest comparing rail passes, walking new cities before dawn, or rating airport coffee with unreasonable seriousness. Off the clock, you’ll find him with a paperback and a paper map—because even in the age of apps, he believes the best trips start with curiosity and a clear point of view.
