FreelancePro.me Disclaimer
G'day! Before you dive deeper into the content on FreelancePro.me, have a quick squiz at this disclaimer. By using this website, you're agreeing to everything laid out below. I know legal stuff isn't exactly the most thrilling read (trust me, I'd rather be on a beach in Canggu too), but it's important, so bear with me for a tick!
⚠️ The Big One
All the information on this website is for general informational and entertainment purposes only. I'm a travel writer sharing my personal experiences and opinions – not a lawyer, doctor, or financial advisor. Always do your own research and get proper professional advice before making any big decisions.
📑 What's In Here
1. General Information
FreelancePro.me is a personal travel blog run by me, Olivia Mitchell, a travel writer based in Sydney, Australia. This website contains travel guides, tips, recommendations, and personal opinions based on my own experiences visiting Bali and other destinations.
Everything you read here – the articles, photos, recommendations, and advice – is my personal opinion based on my own travels. It's not meant to be professional advice in any field, and what works for me might not work for you (and that's absolutely fine!).
📌 Keep This in Mind
Travel experiences are super subjective. The weather, your travel companions, your budget, your fitness level, the time of year – all of these things (and heaps more) can completely change your experience. What I loved might not be your cup of tea, and vice versa. That's the beauty of travel – everyone's journey is different!
2. Affiliate Disclosure (The Money Talk)
Right, let's talk about the elephant in the room – money! I believe in being completely transparent with you, so here's the deal: FreelancePro.me participates in affiliate programs.
2.1 What Does That Mean?
Affiliate programs are arrangements where I earn a small commission when you click on certain links and make a purchase or complete a specific action. The best bit? It doesn't cost you a single cent extra. The price is the same whether you use my link or go direct.
2.2 My Affiliate Partners
I work with a few affiliate partners, including:
- Baliventur (baliventur.com): A platform for booking activities and tours in Bali. I earn a commission when you book through my links.
- Accommodation booking platforms: Hotels, villas, and resorts in Bali.
- Other travel services: Travel insurance, car rentals, and other tourism-related services.
🤝 My Promise to You
Even though I earn commissions from these affiliate programs, it DOES NOT INFLUENCE my recommendations or opinions. I only recommend products, services, and partners that I've personally used, genuinely trust, and believe will add value to your trip.
My integrity is everything to me. I'd never recommend something just because it pays better. Your trust means the world to me, and I'm not about to mess that up for a few bucks. If something's not up to scratch, I'll tell you straight – no sugar-coating.
2.3 Spotting Affiliate Links
You can usually spot affiliate links on my website by:
- The context – I'll be recommending something or encouraging you to book
- Explicit statements around the link mentioning the affiliate relationship
- Call-to-action buttons leading to partner websites
I try my best to be transparent about affiliate content, even though not every single affiliate link gets a label. If you're ever unsure, just shoot me an email and I'll clarify!
3. Travel & Activities Disclaimer
Bali and other travel destinations offer some absolutely epic adventures, but they also come with inherent risks. Here's what you need to know:
3.1 Adventure Activity Risks
Many activities I recommend on this website – like surfing, white water rafting, canyoning, volcano trekking, scuba diving, ATV riding, and other adventure activities – carry risks of physical injury, including serious injury or even death. That's just the reality of adventure travel.
🚨 Safety First, Legends!
You are 100% responsible for your own safety when doing any activity. Before joining any adventure activity:
- Make sure you're physically fit enough for it
- Use all the safety gear provided (helmets, life jackets, etc.)
- Listen to your guides – they know their stuff!
- Don't push yourself beyond your limits
- Make sure your travel insurance covers adventure activities
FreelancePro.me is not responsible for any injuries, losses, or damages that occur while you're doing activities recommended on this website.
3.2 Things Can Change Fast
Conditions at travel destinations can change quickly and unexpectedly, including:
- Weather: Bali's weather can flip in an instant, affecting outdoor activity safety
- Road conditions: Roads can be damaged, slippery, or dangerous depending on the season
- Natural conditions: Ocean currents, waves, reef conditions, and other natural factors
- Service availability: Tour operators, accommodations, and services can change or close without notice
- Political and security situations: Social-political conditions can change and affect travel safety
3.3 Verify Before You Book
Before booking or joining any activity, always verify the latest information directly with the service provider. Prices, availability, operating hours, and requirements can change at any time without notice.
💡 Quick Tip
Always check recent reviews, contact providers directly, and make sure you understand their terms and conditions before paying. For activities involving Baliventur or other affiliate partners, read their cancellation and refund policies carefully.
4. Health & Safety Disclaimer
Content on FreelancePro.me IS NOT a substitute for professional medical advice. The health information I share is general in nature and based on my personal experiences and general research.

- Is not a medical diagnosis
- Is not meant to replace consultation with a doctor or health professional
- Is based on personal experience and general information, not medical research

🏥 See a Doctor Before You Go
Before travelling to Bali or any destination, always consult with your doctor or a travel clinic to get medical advice tailored to your health situation, including:
- Required vaccinations
- Medications to bring
- Special preparations for specific health conditions
- Travel health insurance recommendations
If you experience health issues during your trip, seek professional medical help immediately. Don't rely on information from this website instead of proper medical care.

Food and drink recommendations on this website are based on my personal preferences. I can't guarantee:

- Drinking water safety in specific locations
If you have food allergies, intolerances, or food-related health conditions, always inform food providers and bring necessary medications.
4.3 Travel Insurance

- Medical expenses and emergency evacuation
- Adventure activity accidents (if you're planning to do them)
