My primary goal with this guide is to provide honest, practical, and unbiased information based on my own personal experience. Trust is the most important thing to me, and that means being completely transparent with you.

Some websites use affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link for a product or service (like a piece of gear or a hotel booking) and make a purchase, the website owner may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you.

To be perfectly clear: This website does not currently use any affiliate links.

Every recommendation you find in this guide–from a hiking trail to a cafe to a piece of gear–is here for one reason only: because I personally use it, love it, and believe it will be helpful to you. My advice is not influenced by any commercial relationships or the potential to earn a commission.

Future Possibilities

It is possible that in the future, I may decide to use affiliate links for certain products that I genuinely recommend. Should that ever happen, I promise to do the following:

  1. I will update this policy to be completely transparent about it.
  2. Any and all affiliate links on this website will be clearly and conspicuously marked as such.

For now, you can browse this guide with the full confidence that every link and every recommendation is offered without any commercial incentive.
