John Ston

John covers the essential gear that makes a trip possible: from carry-on luggage and packing accessories to travel tech. Based in New Haven, Connecticut, he applies his background in data analysis to sort through the overwhelming world of travel products, helping readers find items that actually last.

Rather than relying on a single test, John aggregates and analyzes thousands of verified customer reviews, manufacturer specifications, and long-term traveler feedback. He tracks patterns in product durability, warranty claims, and real-world usability to identify the practical features of a product, saving readers hours of exhaustive research. When he isn’t decoding product specs, John enjoys geeking out over packing efficiency and minimalist travel strategies.

Highlights:

  • Aggregates and analyzes verified user feedback, warranty data, and manufacturer specs to evaluate travel gear.
  • Focuses on long-term durability and practical features rather than marketing hype.
  • Received a bachelor’s degree in Business Analytics from the University of New Haven.
