The plain-language basics of using this journal. Last updated August 2026.
Faraway Postcards is an independent, editorial travel journal. By reading this site, you agree to the following.
Articles on this site reflect the observations, opinions, and travel notes of their writers at the time they were written. Seasons, opening hours, prices, border rules, safety conditions, and access to any destination can change without notice. Nothing here is a guarantee of what you will find when you arrive — always confirm practical details (visas, weather, transport schedules, park or trail closures) with an official or current source before you travel.
We do our best to write honestly, including when a place feels overrated or overcrowded. Even so, travel writing is subjective. Use our stories as a starting point for your own research, not a substitute for it.
Photographs used across this site are sourced from Wikimedia Commons under their respective open licenses. Full attribution for every image is listed on our Photo Credits page. If you believe an image is misattributed or used incorrectly, please let us know and we will correct it promptly.
You're welcome to read, link to, and share our articles. Please don't republish full articles elsewhere without permission — a short quote with a link back is always fine. Don't use automated tools to scrape or republish the site at scale.
This site is supported by display advertising and uses Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, which stories readers find useful. See our Privacy Policy for details on what that involves.
Articles may link to external sites — official park pages, transport operators, restaurants, and so on. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or availability.
Faraway Postcards is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any loss, injury, or inconvenience arising from travel decisions made using information on this site.
We may update these terms occasionally as the site evolves. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
