Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 2026

My commitment to transparency

I believe in full transparency with my readers. This page explains my relationship with third-party companies whose products and services I recommend on this site.

What is an affiliate link?

Some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and then make a purchase or sign up for a service, I may receive a small affiliate commission — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use my affiliate link or go directly to the company's website.

Which pages contain affiliate links?

Affiliate links may appear on:

• Article pages (identified by the "Affiliate Disclosure" notice at the top of each article)
• Destination guides
• Travel tips and product recommendation pages
• Any page featuring a product, service, or booking platform

I always label articles that contain affiliate links with a disclosure notice near the top of the page — before the first affiliate link appears.

My partners

I currently have affiliate relationships with travel-related companies including, but not limited to:

• Travel insurance providers (including Allianz Travel, World Nomads, Seven Corners, Squaremouth, InsureMyTrip, and SafetyWing)
• Accommodation booking platforms (including Booking.com)
• Experience and tour booking platforms (including Airbnb Experiences and Viator)
• Car rental comparison services (including Discover Cars)

This list may be updated as my partnerships change.

My editorial standards

Affiliate relationships do not influence my editorial content. I only recommend products and services that I genuinely believe provide value to my readers. I research my recommendations independently, and I do not accept payment for positive reviews or guaranteed placement.

If I have a material connection to a product or service beyond a standard affiliate commission, I will disclose that clearly.

FTC compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). I am committed to complying with all applicable FTC regulations regarding affiliate marketing and sponsored content.
