Links To Other Sites

Our service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Disclosure of Sponsored Links, Affiliate Tracking & Commissions

Our website may contain advertisements, sponsored and affiliate links on some pages. These are typically served through our advertising or affiliate partners, for example Booking.com and Amazon Affiliates, or are self-served through our own means. We only use trusted advertising partners who, to the best of our knowledge, each have high standards of user privacy and security. However, we do not always control the actual advertisements displayed by our advertising or affiliate partners. If you click on links to their websites, our advertising and affiliate partners may collect data and use cookies. This is entirely out of our responsibility.

Clickable sponsored or affiliate links may be displayed as a website URL, an image, a form or as a titled text link.

Clicking on any advertisement, sponsored or affiliate link may track your actions by using a cookie saved to your device. Your actions are usually recorded as a referral from our website by this cookie. In this way we may earn a very small commission from the advertiser or advertising partner, at no cost to you, whether you make a purchase on their website or not.

Specifically, as an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Likewise, through affiliate partnerships with for example booking.com, Japan Rail Pass, iVisa, World Nomads affiliate, Get Your Guide, Hostelworld, Klook and Discover Cars, we earn from purchases through affiliate links.

We use advertising and affiliate partners in these ways to help generate an income from the website, which allows us to continue our work and provide you with the best overall experience and valued information.

All views and opinions expressed on this website are entirely our own. We have no control over and assume no responsibility or guarantee for the services and products offered through affiliate or other links / descriptions. The services and products offered should therefore always be verified with the provider.

If you have any concerns about these things, we suggest you do not click on any advertisements or links (sponsored, affiliate or others) found throughout the website.

Email Newsletter Subscription

Users can subscribe to our email newsletter. Our newsletters comply with the GDPR and are sent through an email sending service provider such as the MailPoet sending service. Using an email sending service enables us to send out newsletters to a list of subscribers.

Newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. These are embedded in emails and allow us to analyse the success rate of the emails. Through these tracking pixels we will know if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. We use this information for analytical purposes and to improve and adapt the content of our newsletters. The sending service uses cookies only for operation. Except for the name and email address no identifiable information is tracked outside this website.

To send you emails, we use and store the name and email address you provide us with. Our site also logs the IP address you used when you signed up for the service to prevent abuse of the system. We will only send you emails if you have signed up to our newsletter and agreed to our Privacy Policy. You can at any time unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of the newsletters.

Children’s Privacy

Our service does not address anyone under the age of 18 (‘children’).

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your children have provided us with personal data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from children without parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
