Routes North is an established independent travel and culture site focused on Scandinavia and the Nordic region, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Greenland.

The business currently averages approximately 45,000 sessions and 56,000 page views per month, providing an incoming owner with an established audience and a platform to build upon rather than starting from scratch.

Commentary
The revenue figures presented focus on the most consistent income sources, alongside fixed monthly operating costs, to provide a clear and representative overview of the site's profitability. Additional commissions have also been generated through smaller affiliate partnerships, providing further revenue potential beyond the figures shown. Contractors have been used to update and optimize existing content. However, a buyer with WordPress experience and the ability to manage content updates independently could reduce these costs and improve overall profit margins significantly.
