Welcome to TripWis! We are Irina and her travel partner, sharing personal travel stories, tips, and guides from around the world. This page explains how we handle your data and discloses our relationships with affiliate partners.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on TripWis are affiliate links. This means if you click a link and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. We currently work with Travelpayouts (which includes Booking.com and GetYourGuide), and Localrent.
We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe in. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content — all opinions are our own and based on real experience.
