Disclaimer

Welcome to Travel with Katie Hart. Please read this disclaimer carefully before you use our website. When you access and read this site, you agree to the terms written below. If you do not agree with any part of this disclaimer, please stop using the website immediately. We provide all content on this site for general information and entertainment purposes only.

General Information Disclaimer

We love sharing travel tips, destination guides, and personal stories from the road. However, the travel industry changes fast. Hotels close, visa rules shift, flight schedules change, and prices go up.

We work hard to keep our information accurate and up to date. Despite our best efforts, we cannot guarantee that every detail on this website is completely correct right now. Prices, exchange rates, and local customs change all the time. You should always verify important details like opening hours, entry fees, and travel requirements directly with the official providers before you book your trip. We accept no liability for any errors or omissions in the information provided on our website.

No Professional Advice

The content on Travel with Katie Hart comes from personal experience and independent research. We are not official travel agents, legal experts, medical professionals, or financial advisors.

Travel and Safety: We share our own safety tips, but every destination carries some risk. You are completely responsible for your own safety while traveling. Always check your government’s official travel advisories and read current news about a destination before you pack your bags.
Health and Medical: If we talk about travel vaccines, altitude sickness, or staying healthy on the road, this does not count as medical advice. Talk to a certified doctor or visit a travel clinic before you travel to a new country.
Visas and Legal: We might share our personal experience getting a specific visa or crossing a border. Immigration laws change without warning. Always check with the official embassy or consulate for your destination to get the correct legal requirements.
Financial Choices: We strongly suggest buying travel insurance, but we cannot give you specific financial advice on which policy covers your exact needs. We are not financial advisors, so it is your responsibility to read and understand the full terms and conditions of any policy you choose to purchase.
