I’ll keep my disclaimer short and sweet:

This website may contain referral links. A referral link means that if you were to sign up for something, buy something, etc. via my referral link, I would get credit for it in some type of reward. Referral links never have any extra costs or catches to you!

Referral ads. I have referral ads to multiple organised tours and hotels/stays at the bottom of my posts, which link to external sites. These are automatically generated and I cannot guarantee the relevance or quality of the recommendations. I encourage you to read reviews, descriptions, and itineraries before making any booking.

Google ads. This blog contains paid advertisements that are clearly marked by Google. I have blacklisted any unsavory ads but unfortunately I have seen a few on my website. These ads are to help me run my blog monetarily and I do not support or condone any ad messages.

None of my opinions are paid. Unless something terrible happened, I’m honestly not blunt enough to give an honest opinion of something if someone pays me to review them. For that reason, I don’t accept gifts of any kind in exchange for reviews. I pay with my own money for everything I mention on the site.

These opinions are all my own. Like with every blog, I can write about my experiences and thoughts only.

I fact-check and research. However there’s always room for error. I like to provide factual information on my site, and I write what I know and sometimes what I think to be true. However, sometimes I get false information or may not understand something correctly. Information may also change. History can also be debatable at times. Feel free to notify me if you see a factual error.

“Updated” means new content was added. I periodically check my blog posts for errors or room for improvement. If something has “updated” in the title, it means I added new content to it – meaning something new to a list, or I took another trip to a particular place and added my new experiences to the post. These posts underwent notable changes.

Nothing is written or generated by AI. I write everything by myself without the use of artificial intelligence, ghostwriters, etc.

All images are mine. Rarely do I use stock images but those are clearly marked with credit. No images are AI generated.

Prints! I have a select assortment of photos for sale on Printful. If you see any other photo here that you’d like to buy a print of, please send me an email and I’ll have it listed. 🙂

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my blog!
