Hey there, wonderful souls – Disclaimer Time! Welcome to my little corner of the internet where honesty and good vibes are the name of the game. Here’s a sneak peek into how things roll around here – my take on blogging, PR trips/events, advertising, and sponsored posts. It’s like our little roadmap for this adventure together!

Let’s kick off with some genuine conversation. Every perspective shared on this blog is entirely authentic and reflective of my thoughts. Whether it’s a review of a recent stay or event or my exploration of potential future destinations, you can trust that it’s coming straight from me. While using ChatGPT might raise eyebrows for some, I see it as an indispensable tool for honing my writing skills. Unlike those blessed with a natural knack for writing, I didn’t inherit such abilities. Instead, I’ve learned to write in an academic style, which unless you are going to be grading me IMHO is not that captivating. However, I don’t simply parrot text generated by the AI; I actively refine and shape it to ensure that the final product mirrors my voice and ideas. Thus, ChatGPT acts more as a means of refining my expression rather than a crutch for replacing it altogether.

When it comes to visual content, I prioritise the inclusion of original imagery whenever feasible, as I believe it imbues authenticity into my narrative. However, I must admit that I’m not talented enough to use any photo editing tools. Instead, I rely on user-friendly platforms like Canva, iMovie, and Capcut to produce any imagery. When external images are warranted, I ensure meticulous attribution to the respective photographers or sources, upholding principles of transparency and intellectual property rights {Photographer/Outlet}. Regarding my photography equipment; the dependable iPhone 14 Pro offers versatility and accessibility for spontaneous moments, while the Canon EOS R50, paired with RF-S 18-45MM, RF 100-400MM & RF28mm F2.8 STM lenses, provides the finesse required for controlled settings and {my attempts at} professional-grade imagery. Complementing these tools is the rugged and compact GoPro Hero7, ideal for dynamic action shots that enrich the visual storytelling experience.

To all you lovely readers who drop by, your time and comments mean the world. Pinky promise, any reviews you find here are as honest as an old friend’s advice. Products/Stays/Events that find their way to me for review? They’ll be sporting a cute little *PR so you know what’s up. And yes, you might spot sponsored posts from time to time, labelled like a neon sign *SP. Sponsored posts are like the cool guests at the party – brands paying a visit with some paid content. But just so we’re clear, I’m not selling out for a quick buck. I’ll only do sponsored posts if I get to call the shots and keep things real.

A quick note on those freebies from brands and PR folks – positive vibes are genuine, even if the product didn’t come with a price tag. Good stuff deserves a shoutout, right? To the awesome brands and PR wizards out there, hit me up if you think your goodies are a match made in heaven for this blog. But fair warning, anything sent my way for review will be put through the wringer, and my thoughts will be honest
