Important: Please read this disclaimer carefully before using the information on My Travel Experience. By using this website, you agree to the terms below.
1. General Information Disclaimer
The content on My Travel Experience (my-travel-experience.com) is provided for general informational and entertainment purposes only. All information, guides, tips, and recommendations are based on my personal travel experiences as a Filipina traveler visiting Bali and other Southeast Asian destinations.
While I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, travel is inherently dynamic. Prices change, businesses close, routes get modified, and regulations evolve. What worked for me during my trips may not work the same way for you, or may have changed since I last visited.
Bottom line: Always verify critical information (visa requirements, prices, opening hours, safety conditions) with official sources before your trip. I'm sharing my experience, not guaranteeing yours will be identical.
2. Not Professional Advice
The content on this website does not constitute professional travel, legal, medical, financial, or safety advice. I am a travel blogger and enthusiast, not a licensed travel agent, tour operator, legal professional, or medical expert.
For specific questions about:
- Visa and immigration: Consult the official Indonesian embassy or immigration website
- Health and vaccinations: Consult your doctor or a travel medicine specialist
- Travel insurance: Consult a licensed insurance provider
- Legal matters: Consult a qualified attorney
- Financial decisions: Consult a financial advisor
3. Affiliate Links Disclosure
This website contains affiliate links. This means that if you click on certain links and make a purchase or booking, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
For example, I partner with trusted tour operators like Baliventur to recommend Bali tours and activities. When you book through my affiliate links, I may receive a commission that helps support this blog and allows me to continue creating free content.
My commitment: I only recommend products, services, and tour operators that I have personally used or thoroughly researched. I will never recommend something just for the commission. Your trust means everything to me, mga ka-travel!
3.1 How Affiliate Links Work
- Affiliate links are tracked through unique URLs or cookies
- You pay the same price whether you use my affiliate link or go directly to the website
- I may earn a small percentage of the sale (typically 3-10%)
- Affiliate relationships do not influence my honest opinions or reviews
4. Personal Experience & Subjectivity
All content on this website reflects my personal opinions, experiences, and preferences. Travel is subjective—what I love, you might not, and vice versa. My recommendations are based on my individual experiences and may not align with your preferences, budget, travel style, or expectations.
For example:
- I might recommend a budget-friendly warung that I loved, but you might find it too basic
- I might suggest a luxury resort that was perfect for my anniversary, but it might not suit a backpacker's budget
- I might rave about a beach that was crowded when you visit during peak season
Always do your own research and consider multiple sources before making travel decisions.
