Disclaimer & Terms of Use

Because the internet says we need one, and honestly, it’s good to set the record straight.

Welcome to Faraway Notes, our happy place to share stories, culture, and the joy of seeing the world as a family. Before you wander through, here’s a tiny fine print wrapped in plain English

The Serious Stuff (But Still Human)

All the information you’ll find here comes from personal experience, opinions, and observations. We share what we know, what we’ve learned, and what we believe will help you. Sometimes we research, and we’ll link to reliable sources when we do. But here’s the thing: we’re not experts, gurus, or travel wizards—just travelers with stories to tell.

We work hard to keep things up to date, but travel changes, places evolve, prices shift, and attractions close. While we do our best, we can’t promise everything will stay accurate forever. If you spot something outdated or off, give us a shout. We’ll gladly fix it.

Collaborations & Sponsorships

We sometimes partner with travel brands, tourism boards, hotels, and other cool organizations to help connect you with experiences we genuinely enjoy. You’ll always know when it’s a collaboration: transparency is non-negotiable. And rest assured: we only write about places and experiences we actually love.
