What NorthMarkets Is
NorthMarkets is an independent shopping guide for travelers. We cover where to find real local goods – textiles, pottery, artisan crafts, home decor, and the gear worth packing – across destinations in Mexico, Hawaii, and cities throughout the United States. Every guide is built around specific markets, neighborhoods, and vendors, not a generic packing list.
Who We Are
NorthMarkets is written and maintained by Alexander McGregor, publishing under the Auburn AI editorial umbrella. NorthMarkets started as a Canadian personal-finance site before narrowing to its current focus: real, on-the-ground shopping guides for specific travel destinations.
Auburn AI operates a small family of independent review and editorial sites, each focused on a specific vertical where we have genuine expertise and interest. NorthMarkets is one of those sites.
How We Review
Our recommendations are shaped by hands-on where practical, synthesis from multiple trusted sources where not, and honest trade-offs (never just praise). We disclose the basis of every recommendation and never publish sponsored content disguised as editorial.
How NorthMarkets Makes Money
We participate in affiliate programs including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click a product link and buy something within the tracking window, the merchant pays us a small commission — at no additional cost to you. This is our primary funding source. We may also run display advertising via Google AdSense. Ads never influence what we recommend. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
What We Won’t Do
- Recommend products we don’t believe in, regardless of commission rate
- Publish sponsored posts disguised as editorial reviews
- Sell your data (see our Privacy Policy)
- Auto-generate content or fake reviews
