Disclosure & Transparency Policy
At Roost & Roam, I believe in honesty, integrity, and keeping things real—especially when it comes to the content I share with you. This page outlines how I make money through this blog and how that might affect (or not affect!) what you see here.
⸻
Affiliate Links
Some of the links you find on this site are affiliate links. That means if you click through and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
I only recommend products and services that:
•We use and genuinely love as a family
•I believe will add value to your life or travels
•Fit the mission of Roost & Roam: helping families, couples, and solo travelers travel the world confidently, learn on the go, and live joyfully
These commissions help support the time, tools, and resources it takes to create free content for you and are at no extra cost for you. So thank you for your support—it truly means the world to me and my family!

Sponsored Content
Occasionally, I may collaborate with brands on sponsored posts, trips, or product reviews. When I do, those posts will always be clearly marked as sponsored. Even when I’m paid to write about something, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own, and I only partner with brands I believe in.
⸻
Gifted Items & Reviews
Sometimes I’m gifted products or experiences in exchange for a review or mention. I’ll always disclose when that’s the case. But again—my commitment is to honest, unbiased opinions, whether I paid for it or not.
⸻
Advertising
You may see banner or display ads on this site. These are served through third-party networks and help keep the content here free. I do my best to ensure these ads are family-friendly, but I don’t always have control over the exact products shown.
⸻
Travel Agent Services
As a travel advisor, I may occasionally offer or promote travel services, bookings, or trip planning packages. When this happens, I may earn a commission through bookings. Just like with affiliate products, I only offer or promote travel options that I personally trust and believe will serve your family well.
⸻
Final Word
At the end of the day, my goal is to be inspiring, encouraging, helpful, real, and trustworthy. If you ever have questions about something I’ve shared or promoted, don’t hesitate to reach out:
Thank you for following along and supporting Roost & Roam! You help make this dream of mine a reality.
Warmly,
