Welcome to MakeMeTraveller.com! Our mission is to inspire your next great adventure, whether you are seeking the “untouched treasures” of Alaska, planning a budget-friendly European getaway right here in the U.S., or looking for honest safety tips for your solo travels.
We believe that trust is the most critical item in your packing list. That is why we are committed to being completely transparent about how this website is funded and how we select the travel experiences we recommend.
How We Are Funded
To keep our detailed travel guides, safety advice, and destination reviews free for you to access, MakeMeTraveller.com participates in various affiliate marketing programs.
What is an Affiliate Link? Many of the links you see on our site—pointing to hotels, tours, airlines, or travel gear—are “affiliate links.” This means that if you click on one of these links and make a booking or purchase, we may earn a small commission.
The Important Part:
- No Extra Cost to You: The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the vendor’s website. In some cases, our partnership may even unlock a special discount for you.
- Editorial Independence: We are travelers first. We do not accept money to guarantee a positive review. Our recommendations are based on our own research, personal experiences, and the genuine belief that these products or places will enhance your travels.
Specific Affiliate Program Disclosures
To ensure full compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the operating agreements of our partners, please review the following specific disclosures regarding the networks we use:
1. Amazon Associates Disclosure
MakeMeTraveller.com is 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.
- As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
- Note on Pricing: Amazon prices fluctuate. A price mentioned in our “Budget-Friendly Guides” was accurate at the time of writing but may have changed. Please verify the current price on Amazon.
2. Booking.com Disclosure
We partner with Booking.com to help you find the best accommodation options for your trips.
- As a Booking.com Affiliate, I earn from qualifying transactions.
- MakeMeTraveller.com acts as a marketing partner. We do not own, manage, or operate any of the hotels or properties listed. All bookings are processed directly by Booking.com, and their terms and conditions apply to your reservation.
3. Tours & Activities (Viator & GetYourGuide)
To help you book the “Top 10 Best Activities,” we use affiliate links from providers like Viator (a Tripadvisor company) and GetYourGuide.
- When you book a helicopter tour, a cooking class, or a museum ticket through our links, the transaction is handled by the platform.
- We select these activities based on their quality and relevance to our guides, not solely on the commission offered.
Sponsored Content & Press Trips
Occasionally, we may be invited to experience a destination, hotel, or tour on a complimentary basis (a “Press Trip”).
- Full Disclosure: If a trip or experience was sponsored, we will explicitly state this at the very top of the article.
- Honest Opinions: Even when a trip is sponsored, our reviews remain unbiased. If a luxury hotel has slow Wi-Fi, we will tell you. We serve our readers, not the brands.
Product Reviews & Safety Advice
Our “Reviews” (such as the JSX Airlines Review) and “Safety Tips” are written with your well-being in mind.
- We do not accept payment to alter the outcome of a safety assessment or a product review.
- Any safety gear recommended (e.g., locks, alarms) is selected based on efficacy. If we use affiliate links for these items, it does not influence our safety judgment.
Limitation of Liability
While we strive for accuracy—checking flight rules, safety conditions, and prices—the travel industry is dynamic.
- Third-Party Sites: We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of the sites we link to.
- Availability: We cannot guarantee that a specific tour or hotel room mentioned in a guide will be available when you book.
Your Privacy
Clicking on affiliate links creates a “cookie” in your browser to track the referral. This data is used solely to attribute the sale to us so we can be paid. We do not have access to your credit card information or personal booking details. For more information, please read our [Privacy Policy].
