affiliate disclosure

Effective Date: [06/10/2025]

Introduction

Europe Vibe contains affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission when you click on certain links or make purchases through europevibe.com, at no additional cost to you.

We want to be completely transparent about how we earn money from this website. This Affiliate Disclosure explains our relationships with brands and companies whose products or services we recommend.

How It Works

When you click on an affiliate link on europevibe.com and make a purchase or booking, the company may pay us a commission or provide us with other forms of compensation. This can include:

  • Cash commissions – A percentage of the sale or a fixed amount per transaction
  • Free products or services – Complimentary stays, tours, travel gear, or experiences for review purposes
  • Discounts – Special pricing on products or services
  • Credits – Account credits or reward points with partner companies

These affiliate relationships help us maintain and improve Europe Vibe while keeping our content free for readers. However, earning a commission does not influence our honest opinions, recommendations, or editorial content.

You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the company’s website. In some cases, our affiliate links may even offer exclusive discounts or special offers not available elsewhere.

Where It Applies

This Affiliate Disclosure applies to all content across europevibe.com, including but not limited to:

  • Blog posts and articles
  • Destination guides and itineraries
  • Product reviews and recommendations
  • Resource pages and travel tools
  • Email newsletters
  • Social media posts linked from our website

If a page or post on europevibe.com contains affiliate links, we’ll include a clear disclosure statement at or near the beginning of that content in addition to this full disclosure page.

Our Commitment to You

We take our relationship with our readers seriously. Here’s what you can expect from Europe Vibe:

Honest Recommendations – We only recommend products, services, and destinations we genuinely believe will provide value to our readers. Our affiliate relationships do not determine what we write about or endorse.

Personal Experience – Whenever possible, our recommendations are based on firsthand experience. If we haven’t personally used a product or service, we’ll clearly state that.

Independent Opinions – Our reviews and opinions remain our own. Companies do not pay us to write positive reviews, and we maintain full editorial control over our content.

Balanced Perspective – We strive to present both pros and cons in our reviews and recommendations, even for affiliate products.

Link-Level Disclosures

In accordance with FTC guidelines, we place clear, conspicuous disclosures near individual affiliate links throughout our content. You may see labels such as:

  • (paid link)
  • (affiliate link)
  • #ad
  • #affiliate
  • [Sponsored]

These labels will appear immediately before, after, or adjacent to the affiliate link to ensure you always know when a link may result in compensation to Europe Vibe.
