Support our blog!

After a recent survey, many of you said you would be happy to support our blog (and we really thank you for that), even though you didn’t necessarily know it was possible or how to do it. So, on this page, we explain everything openly.

As we often repeat in our review articles, we decided to stay as independent as possible in our writing (no sponsored articles, or very few) and not to display ads that would disrupt your reading experience. We really try to put ourselves in the shoes of readers who are looking for high-quality, honest content based on our own experience. To be completely honest, we receive many requests to write sponsored articles on various topics or include ads on the blog, and it would be quite easy to earn $300, $400, $500, or more each month through these partnerships… But we said no!

On the other hand, the blog comes with quite a few monthly expenses: hosting, our newsletter, site maintenance by our webmaster, paid plugins, article proofreading, and more.

So we chose to use affiliate links with travel and photography brands. If you go through these links, we simply earn a small commission, without the price changing for you, of course. It’s actually very simple! And finally, you may not realize it, but even though Mélanie and I run this blog with passion, it takes a lot of time and work.

If you’re used to shopping online, you can go through our links to book a hotel, buy a plane ticket, book an activity, or purchase camera equipment. In short, when it comes to travel and/or photography, you can help us without, I repeat, paying a penny more. To avoid coming back to the blog for each purchase, you can simply click once on one of the links below and save it in your browser favorites for later.

For travelers

You can help us by:

• Booking your accommodation on Booking,
• Comparing flight prices via Skyscanner
• Booking your rental car on DiscoverCars or your van through Motorhome
• Choosing your travel activities on GetYourGuide or through Manawa

For photographers

For now, you can support us by buying your camera equipment through Amazon and B&H.

Since support is not only financial, you can also give us some moral support — and believe us, we sometimes really need it. Maintaining this blog is not always easy, and a few kind words from time to time can make a real difference! If you like our articles, feel free to leave a comment, send us an email, share an article with people around you, or subscribe to our newsletter to hear about our latest posts.

Finally, don’t hesitate to join us on social media. Even if we don’t spend that much time there, it’s always nice to see our community growing!

That brings us to the end of our explanation! We hope everything is clear (and if not, tell us!) and that we’ve made you want to support our blog. Feel free to let us know in the comments if you decided to play along — it would make us very happy!

See you soon, and thanks again to each and every one of you for your support, your kind words, your emails, and your comments. They motivate us to keep going and help the site grow. Thanks again!

 

Sylvain, Mel, Louis, and Téo (our two little ones)
