Disclosure:
Occasionally, tourism organizations or entrepreneurs host me and my husband for travel-related experiences and press trips. When I create blog posts about such experiences, this relationship will be clearly disclosed on my posts under a ‘Disclosure’ heading. I independently decide what to write and publish about a given experience. I make a rule not to engage in professional relationships with companies whose services do not match my personal and professional beliefs, or that is irrelevant to the content of my site.
Information presented on this Website is intended as a personal and professional representation of my views of my travel experiences. If you are interested in joining one of the tours in which I have participated, please direct your questions to the businesses directly to ensure they can meet your particular needs.
Occasionally, I use affiliate links for products and services that I have used and recommend. If you purchase these through my Website with this link, the price will stay the same to you and I will get a percentage as a commission. (For example, I may link to a Booking.com-listed accommodation.)
As of the date that this policy was written, I have not accepted any form of cash payment for writing any of my blog posts. If, in the future, I accept paid advertising to this Website, it will be clearly labeled as ‘advertisement.’ I do not accept cash payment for mentions.
