We’re pretty lucky here at Matouring – in many ways – but one that makes us feel proud is our group of affiliate friends. We bloggers need to work rather diligently (for example, we always have at least two posts everyday, rain or shine) in order to keep the lights on, as it were. In our case, this is not a life or death situation, in that we do this because we love it. It’s fun and enlightening. And we get to write about what we like: travel Lucky us.
But, underpinning the writing is the chance of earning a pretty penny or two, and that requires affiliates who believe in us and help us to keep the lights on. We don’t choose every affiliate request – only those who we think will appeal to our mature audience.
And, being naturally curious, when we can, we like to feature said affiliate friends. Now, you might have seen our friends Sixt in posts and in offers, and you may wonder who they are.
