Disclaimer and affiliate disclosure

Last updated: 17 September 2026

blonde.travel is my personal travel publication. I share first-hand experiences, photographs, research, and practical information to help readers plan journeys of their own. This page explains the limits of that information and how I disclose commercial relationships.

Travel information

I take care to make the information on blonde.travel accurate when it is published. Travel details can change, however, including prices, opening hours, timetables, entry requirements, safety conditions, and the services offered by hotels and other businesses. Please confirm anything important to your plans with the relevant hotel, operator, venue, transport company, or government authority before booking or travelling.

The site is intended for general information and inspiration. It is not medical, legal, financial, or safety advice. You remain responsible for your own decisions, bookings, insurance, visas, health and safety, and the suitability of any journey or service.

Reviews and opinions

Reviews and recommendations reflect my honest opinion, based on my experience and the information available when I wrote or updated the story. Travel is personal: a place or service that suited me may not suit every reader.

Affiliate links

Some pages on blonde.travel may contain affiliate links. If you follow one of these links and make a booking or purchase, blonde.travel may receive a commission from the third-party provider at no additional cost to you.

An affiliate relationship does not determine what I choose to cover or guarantee a favourable review. The provider remains responsible for the final price, availability, booking terms, cancellation policy, and delivery of its service.

Hosted stays and paid partnerships

blonde.travel may receive stays, experiences, or products without charge or at a discount, and may enter into paid partnerships. A commercial relationship does not purchase a positive opinion; the views I publish remain my own.

External websites and services

Links to other websites are provided because they may be useful. I do not control those websites or the services they offer. Their own terms, privacy practices, prices, and cancellation policies apply, and you should check them before providing personal information or completing a transaction.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, blonde.travel is not responsible for loss or damage arising from reliance on information published on this site, temporary unavailability of the site, or the use of a third-party website or service. Nothing on this page limits any right or liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Open-source icons

The trip-purpose icons used on the Requisites page are adapted from OpenMoji Black. All emojis were designed by OpenMoji, the open-source emoji and icon project. I adjusted the SVGs to use the blonde.travel colour and a shared stroke weight. The adapted icons are licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
