I explored the Travel + Leisure website http://www.travelandleisure.com/ . There are various sections such as "Trip ideas", "Tips + planning", "Travel product" or "Destination guides". Each one of those is very organised with several subcategory and there are many types of articles, some contain a lot of pictures, some are very long with almost no pictures... Thus, the target audience seems to be very wide, from travelers who want specific tips to organise their trip to someone who wants to know where to go in a city or even someone who just wants to fantasize about going somewhere.

I read the article "The Biggest Packing Mistakes to Avoid, According to a Professional" https://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-tips/packing-tips/packing-mistake-solutions in the section "Packing Tips". It caught my attention because we soon will be going abroad and so I thought it might contain some useful information. Well I was wrong and I was quite disappointed after reading it. It's a transcript of an interview of a woman who travels a lot and started a website dedicated to packing. She answers a few questions and gives "tips" . She says, for instance, that she uses a notepad to write everything she needs to pack (1-2 week prior), "packing cubes" which are small bags to organize her suitcase or she only takes clothes that can be easily mixed/matched together. There are no tips that are not either obvious/well-known or just not really useful. I hope the other articles aren't like that and gives genuine tips, ideas...
