Welcome to Mintatravels.com, and thanks for being here!
This page is all about transparency. I want you to know that some of the links you see on this site are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you—if you make a purchase or sign up through one of them.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that let companies know you came from my site. If you click on one and make a purchase (or sometimes just take an action, like signing up for a newsletter or free trial), I may earn a small commission.
It doesn’t change your price at all, and in some cases, it might even unlock a special deal or discount.
Why I Use Affiliate Links
Running Mintatravels.com takes time, tools, gear, and hosting costs—not to mention the occasional cup of coffee on the road. Affiliate income helps cover those expenses so I can keep creating free travel guides, photography tips, and honest recommendations for readers like you.
I only recommend products, services, and brands I truly believe in—things I’ve used myself or would recommend to a friend planning their own adventure.
What I Link To
I participate in a few affiliate programs, including (but not limited to):
- Amazon Associates – for photography gear, hiking essentials, and favorite travel books
- Booking.com – for accommodations I’ve stayed at or would stay at again
- GetYourGuide and Viator – for curated tours and activities
- REI and other outdoor retailers – for tried-and-true hiking and camping gear
Does This Affect My Content?
Nope. Never.
Every review, story, or recommendation on Mintatravels.com is based on personal experience and honest opinion. If something didn’t work for me, I’ll say so. If I love it, you’ll know. Affiliate links don’t influence what I write—they simply support the work behind the scenes.
Legal Note
In compliance with FTC guidelines, you’ll see a short disclosure at the top of any post that includes affiliate links. It usually looks like this:
