Two Week TripTravel news & blogs

About Two Week Trip

Two Week Trip aggregates travel news and travel blog posts, organized by how you like to travel -- overlanding, motorcycle touring, backpacking, and so on -- rather than by destination alone. Every story is a headline, a short attributed snippet, and a link back to the original publisher. We do not republish full articles.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on Two Week Trip are affiliate links. If you click one and go on to book or buy something, we may earn a small commission from the seller or booking platform, at no extra cost to you -- the price you pay is the same either way. Any card or listing built from an affiliate link is marked Affiliate where it appears, so it is never left to guesswork which links are affiliated and which are not. A link is only ever marked this way when it genuinely is an affiliate link; nothing is labeled "Affiliate" that doesn't actually earn a commission, and nothing that does is left unmarked. This disclosure is provided in the interest of full transparency and to comply with the FTC's endorsement guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) and Canada's Competition Act provisions on misleading advertising.

Privacy policy

This section describes exactly what Two Week Trip does with visitor data today. It is intentionally short, because the site intentionally does very little:

  • Server logs. Like effectively any website, the server that answers your request keeps standard access logs (things like IP address, requested URL, and timestamp) for operational and security purposes. There is no cookie banner on this site, because nothing on it sets a tracking cookie. The third-party scripts this site does load are described below.
  • Visitor analytics. Every page loads Cloudflare Web Analytics (static.cloudflareinsights.com), which tells us how many people read which pages. Cloudflare states that this script "does not store any data in the browser or access any storage data, such as cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, IP address, or IndexedDB" -- it reports page performance and the page and referrer of the visit, and nothing that identifies you. We use it because we would otherwise have no idea whether anyone is reading the site.
  • Newsletter signup. If you submit the newsletter form (on this page or in the footer of every page), the email address you type is sent to /api/subscribe, which stores it in this site's own database so we can build a future mailing. Submissions are rate-limited server-side to keep the form from being abused. No email has ever been sent to anyone, and no third-party email service has access to this data -- no sending provider is integrated at this stage, and this address is not shared with anyone.
  • Search. What you type into the search box is sent to our server to find matching stories. It is not stored or linked to you.
  • Theme and travel-style preference. Your light/dark mode choice and your preferred travel style are saved using your browser's own localStorage. This data lives entirely on your device, is never transmitted to Two Week Trip or to anyone else, and is only ever read back by your own browser on a later visit.
  • Affiliate links. If you click a link marked Affiliate, you leave this site for the merchant's own site, which may set its own cookies to credit the referral. That happens on their site under their privacy policy, not on this one.
  • Affiliate tracking script. Every page loads a script from Travelpayouts (emrldco.com), the affiliate network we use for travel bookings. It lets Travelpayouts verify this site and credit bookings that start here. It can load further code and services of its own (for example, analytics and error reporting) and may set cookies or read standard browser information, all under Travelpayouts' own privacy policy.

We do not sell visitor data, because we do not collect any beyond the above. Questions about this policy can be sent to contact@twoweektrip.com.
