ABOUT US
Mantas Lang – the founder of BestPlaceStay.
Hey, what’s going on our precious visitor!? If you’re reading our “about us” page (I don’t think anyone ever does), you probably are either a really big fan of our site or someone who’s really mad for something we did, and came to find who are the people responsible for ruining your day. Either way, I’m thrilled! Thank you for being here!
“People are making babies and I’m like… what country should I go next to?” – I said. Multiple times (though, I’m quite sure, I wasn’t the first one).
That pretty much sums up the last decade of my life. And even If I were making babies, I’d still be thinking about places to go next to. Thinking, researching about new countries, checking weather seasons, best areas to stay, booking flights, reading hotel reviews, and so on. Someone who constantly travels knows that it feels like a full time job. I created the BestPlaceStay hoping to solve at least some of these problems (I know, it’s the first world problems but still – problems).
I make sure that every guide on our website is written by people who are either living or have lived in the city/country they’re writing about. Someone who I’d personally trust and ask for advice if I were to travel there myself.
I don’t think there is much else to say about our website at this stage, just like there is not much you can say about a new born baby (it’s the 3rd time I mentioned babies(4th) in this text, what’s going on?). Naturally, I expect to make a few mistakes along the way, and a lot of changes as our website and community grows. I’m keeping our comment section opened, and looking forward to hear your feedback or suggestions. So don’t be shy, scroll down and say “Hi’ to us! Although, I don’t know who am I talking to, probably no one ever reads these pages.

A freelance creative with words, imagery and video, I’ve worked on a lot of cool stuff. It’s enabled me to travel the world and further moulded a love I have for chucking myself into unknown cultures. I have lived in 4 countries and can only see that number growing! Next on my list is Central America! I’m just a self-confessed addict and junky. I just can’t stop seeing the world.
