At www.chelseaheidish.com (the “Site”), transparency and trust with our readers are important to us. This Disclosure explains how we may earn money from the content we create, in compliance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines.


Affiliate Links

Some posts on this Site contain affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you.

We only recommend products, services, accommodations, tools, or experiences that:

  • We personally use, have used, or genuinely believe are valuable
  • Align with our travel style and values

Affiliate relationships do not influence the honesty of our content, opinions, or recommendations.

Example affiliate disclosure you may see in posts:

“This post may contain affiliate links. If you choose to make a purchase through these links, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only share products and experiences I personally use or genuinely recommend. You can read my full disclosure here.”


Advertising & Ad Revenue

This Site may display advertisements through third-party ad networks or platforms. These ads may use cookies or tracking technologies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing behavior.

We do not control which ads are shown or how third-party advertisers collect data. Please review their respective privacy policies for more information.


Sponsored Content & Brand Partnerships

From time to time, we may collaborate with brands, tourism boards, or companies through:

  • Sponsored blog posts
  • Paid partnerships
  • Brand campaigns
  • Press trips or hosted experiences

Any sponsored content will be clearly disclosed within the post, typically at the beginning, so readers understand the nature of the relationship.

All opinions expressed are entirely our own, even when compensation or perks are involved.


Gifted Stays, Press Trips & Complimentary Experiences

We may occasionally receive complimentary accommodations, activities, tours, or experiences in exchange for coverage or content creation.

Receiving a complimentary experience does not guarantee a positive review. All feedback and opinions shared are honest, independent, and based on personal experience.


Editorial Integrity

Our content is created with the goal of informing, inspiring, and helping readers make informed decisions. Monetization allows us to maintain and grow this Site, but it never overrides:

  • Authenticity
  • Transparency
  • Reader trust
