Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: June 2026

We believe in being open with you. This page explains how The Next Big Adventure earns money through affiliate links, so you always know where we stand. This disclosure follows the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and advertising.

Some of the links on our website are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a booking or purchase, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no extra cost to you. You pay the same price you would have paid otherwise, and the commission helps us keep the website running and our content free.

We are part of several affiliate programs. The main ones are:

• Booking.com (through the Commission Junction network): when you book a stay using our links, we may earn a commission on completed bookings.
• World Nomads: when you buy travel insurance through our links, we may earn a commission.
• Amazon Associates: as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases when you buy through our Amazon links.

We may also take part in other affiliate programs from time to time. The same principle always applies: any commission comes at no extra cost to you.

Our recommendations are genuine. We suggest hotels, gear, insurance, and services because we have used them, researched them, or believe they are a good fit for the kind of travel we write about. An affiliate commission never changes our honest opinion. If we did not think something was worth your time or money, we would not recommend it.

When a price, deal, or product detail matters, please confirm it directly with the merchant before you buy, since those details can change.

The Next Big Adventure 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, we earn from qualifying purchases.
