Affiliate Disclosure Policy

Last Updated: November 11, 2025

Purpose of This Disclosure

At CuriousDon.com, transparency and integrity are fundamental to everything we share. This Affiliate Disclosure Policy explains how we may earn commissions through affiliate partnerships – helping our readers understand how our content is supported while maintaining complete editorial independence.

Affiliate Relationships

CuriousDon.com participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click certain links on our website and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission – at no additional cost to you.

Our affiliate partners may include, but are not limited to:

  • Travel and experience platforms (e.g., Viator, GetYourGuide, Booking.com, TripAdvisor, etc.)
  • Outdoor and photography retailers (e.g., Amazon, REI, B&H Photo, etc.)
  • Educational or science-related organizations offering courses or experiences

These commissions help cover the costs of operating CuriousDon.com – from field research and photography to hosting and maintenance, allowing us to continue creating educational, science-focused travel stories for curious explorers.

Editorial Independence

All guides, reviews, and destination features on CuriousDon.com are created based on personal experience, scientific accuracy, and independent research – never compensation.

Affiliate partnerships do not influence:

  • The destinations, products, or experiences we choose to feature
  • The opinions or recommendations expressed in our content
  • The editorial tone, order, or priority of any article

If an experience, tour, or product has been provided to us for review, this will always be clearly disclosed within the article.

Sponsored Content

From time to time, CuriousDon.com may collaborate with tourism boards, museums, parks, or science organizations to produce sponsored content. Such collaborations are always clearly marked as “Sponsored” or “Advertisement” at the beginning of the article and are distinct from our independent editorial coverage.

Amazon Associates Disclosure

CuriousDon.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 linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
