Effective / last updated: September 20, 2026
This page is the FTC-style affiliate & monetization disclosure for Fernandes Journeys. Short version: some links can earn a small commission; opinions stay Alex's own; you never pay more because you clicked through here.
How affiliate links work
This journal participates in affiliate and partner programs. When you click certain links and book or buy something, Fernandes Journeys may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Those commissions help keep the journal online (hosting, tools, time on the road).
Affiliate relationships do not dictate what gets published. Recommendations are based on personal use and trust — not whoever pays the most.
Where you'll see them
- The Tools I use page (
/tools) — outbound partner links for stays, flights, insurance, money, connectivity, and similar. - Guides, destination notes, and story posts when a tool or booking partner is genuinely relevant.
- Occasional sponsored or partner content — clearly labeled when it is sponsored.
Example partners
Partners may include (this list can change over time): Viator, GetYourGuide, Booking.com, Expedia, RentCars.com, World Nomads, Wise, Babbel, and similar travel or lifestyle services. Ads such as Google AdSense may also appear when enabled.
Opinions are my own
Reviews, tips, and “I use this” notes reflect Alex's experience. Partners do not get editorial control over what is written. If something is gifted or sponsored, it will be disclosed.

In line with U.S. Federal Trade Commission guidelines, material connections (affiliates, sponsorships, gifted products) are disclosed. If you have questions about a specific link, email [email protected].
