Disclosure Policy

Hey there! We’re Kolyn & Denis. Our goal with The Curious Tourists is to share our travel adventures and help you plan your own.

To help support this site—which includes our travel costs, camera gear, website hosting, and a lot of time—we sometimes use forms of monetization. We believe in being 100% transparent with you, our fellow tourists, about how this works.

Our Editorial Integrity

Our promise to you is simple: Our content is always driven by our own genuine experiences and opinions, not by advertisers or sponsors.

We will never recommend a hotel, cruise, theme park, or product that we haven’t used or don’t genuinely believe in. Our opinions are always our own. If we are ever paid for a specific review or post (a “sponsored post”), we will clearly and unmistakably label it as such at the very top of the article. Your trust is more important to us than any commission.

Affiliate Links

Some of the links on this blog are “affiliate links.” This simply means that if you click on one of those links and make a purchase (for a hotel, a tour, or a product), we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

This is a very common way for travel blogs to earn an income, and it’s what allows us to keep traveling and creating new, helpful content for you. We only link to things we have personally used and can recommend.

The Curious Tourists is also a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

Display Advertising

As you can see, we also have display advertisements on our site. These ads are generally run by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense.

These networks may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other sites on the internet. You can learn more about this and how to manage your preferences by visiting our Privacy Policy.

Any Questions?

Our relationship with you is the most important part of this. If you ever have any questions at all about this policy or how we make a living, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via our Contact page.

Thanks for your support! It means the world to us.

Cheers, Kolyn & Denis
