I am not a travel agency and do not operate a registered travel business. I share travel recommendations and, where relevant, act informally as an independent advisor affiliated with Fora Travel, Inc. ("Fora").
Any advice, recommendations, or itinerary suggestions I provide are offered as personal guidance and free of charge. I do not charge you any planning fee, service fee, or booking fee.
All payments for the actual travel services — hotel stays, car rentals, tours, or any other bookings — are made directly to Fora or to the underlying service provider (e.g., the hotel or car rental company), never to me. Where I earn a commission, it is paid to me by Fora or the supplier, not by you, and does not add to the price you pay.
I have no control over, and take no responsibility for, the quality, safety, availability, or actual performance of any hotel, car rental company, tour operator, airline, or other service provider. Any complaint or issue regarding a booked service should be directed to that provider or to Fora, as applicable, and not to me.
