Terms and Accuracy
Everything on this site is published for general travel information and personal storytelling. We try to keep details useful and up-to-date, but routes, prices, opening hours, ferry schedules, visa rules, safety conditions, and local regulations can change without warning.
Please check current official sources before making travel, medical, legal, financial, or safety decisions. We are not responsible for losses, injuries, missed connections, closed guesthouses, changed border rules, or problems of any nature caused by relying on information from this site.
Copyright
Unless a page or segment says otherwise, the words, photographs, videos, maps, graphics, and other original material on Backpacks & Bubbles belong to us. All articles and photographs are © Copyright 2026 Alexander Graf & Erika Diškancová. Do not copy, republish, scrape, sell, or reuse our work without written permission.
Every photograph we publish carries embedded IPTC copyright metadata which names us as the copyright holders, marks the image as copyrighted, and links back to this page as the rights information source.
This metadata is part of the work. Stripping, altering, or ignoring it does not transfer any rights or grant permission to use the photo.
You are welcome to link to our pages, quote short excerpts with clear attribution, and share our posts through normal social sharing features. If you would like to license or republish one of our images, email us first. We will consider all requests, but we do not guarantee that we will grant permission or that we will respond to every inquiry.
Affiliate and sponsored links
Some links on Backpacks & Bubbles may be affiliate links. If you buy or book through one of those links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
We may also publish clearly disclosed sponsored or paid collaborations. Paid relationships do not influence or change our opinion. If we would not use, book, carry, eat, dive, or recommend something ourselves, it does not belong in our editorial voice.
Affiliate availability, prices, and third-party terms are controlled by the relevant provider, not by us.
External links
Our posts may link to booking platforms, transport operators, restaurants, dive shops, government pages, maps, social networks, and other third-party websites. Those sites have their own terms, privacy policies, cookies, content, and security practices.
We are not responsible for third-party websites, and a link does not mean we control or endorse every part of that site.
Comments, messages, and newsletter signups
If comments are enabled on a page, we may edit, hide, or remove comments that are abusive, spammy, unlawful, off-topic, or otherwise unhelpful for readers. Please do not post sensitive personal information in a public comment.
If you contact us by email or Instagram, we use the information you provide to read and respond to your message. If a newsletter signup is active, we use the email address you provide to send the updates you requested. Every newsletter should include an unsubscribe option.
We may share email addresses with third-party providers solely for email delivery, but those providers are not allowed to use the information for any other purpose.
We do not sell reader contact details under any circumstances.

You can browse most of this site without telling us who you are. Depending on how you use the site, we may receive:
- Information you send voluntarily, such as your name, email address, message text, or comment content.
- Technical information created by normal web hosting, such as IP address, browser, device type, referring page, requested URL, and timestamp.
- Basic interaction information, such as pages visited or links clicked, if analytics or security tooling is active.

Cookies and analytics
This site may use cookies or similar browser storage for normal website features, security, preferences, spam prevention, embedded media, or affiliate attribution. Third-party services may also set cookies when you follow outbound links or interact with embedded content.
We use an EU GDPR compatible analytics provider that does not set cookies, use local storage or session storage, fingerprint visitors, store or hash IP addresses, create user, browser, or device identifiers, or track people across websites.
We use analytics to understand site performance and improve the blog. We do not use analytics to identify individual readers, serve personalized advertising, sell reader profiles, or track people across websites.

Third-party services
Backpacks & Bubbles may use third-party providers for hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, comments, maps, embedded media, social links, affiliate tracking, or booking links. Those providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies.
When you leave this site, subscribe through a provider, click a social link, watch embedded media, or book with a third party, your interaction will be governed by that provider’s policies.
