How we make money.

We'd rather tell you straight than bury it in legalese.

Tour bookings. The "Book Tours" buttons on this site go to our Viator partner shop. If you book, Viator pays us a commission — around 8% — at no extra cost to you. That's what keeps Kofi free.

Flights & hotels. Flight and hotel links go to Expedia through the Expedia Group Travel Creator Program. If you book a flight, hotel, or package, Expedia pays us a commission at no extra cost to you.

Travel insurance. Insurance links go to SafetyWing's Nomad Insurance. If you buy a policy, SafetyWing pays us a commission at no extra cost to you.

Custom itineraries. Our Roots Journey Planning service ($49) is a paid product: a human-built, priced, day-by-day itinerary delivered within 48 hours.

What this doesn't change: our recommendations. We list tours we'd suggest to a friend, commission or not. If a tour is bad, we won't list it — the commission isn't worth your trust.
