Site disclosure
Affiliate Disclosure
Some pages on Carl Travels contain affiliate links. If you click one of those links and buy something, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
The short version: affiliate links help fund the travel guides, filming, editing time, hosting, and gear testing behind this site. I only want these links on pages where they make practical sense for the reader.
How Recommendations Are Chosen
Most recommendations come from things I have used while travelling, filming, editing, or living abroad. That includes camera gear, travel cards, eSIMs, editing tools, backpacks, microphones, lights, and services that make travel logistics easier.
When I have not personally used something long-term, I try to make that clear and keep the recommendation practical rather than pretending it is a lifetime-tested favourite.
Affiliate Links And Sponsored Content
Affiliate links may include Amazon, Wise, Saily, Yesim, Dehancer, software companies, travel services, booking services, and other creator or travel tools. Sponsored content, paid placements, gifted products, or formal partnerships should be disclosed on the relevant page when they apply.
Editorial Independence
Commissions do not change the price you pay, and they do not guarantee a positive review. A product or service can still be criticised, skipped, or removed from the site if it stops being useful.
