I said no. Not as a moral pose — as arithmetic. A commission is a tax collected at the border of my trust, and the taxpayer is you. I sell my own harvest — the guides, the book. I do not stand at the gate of other people&rsquo;s orchards charging the visitors. That rule is the product. And as of today, it applies to everything on this site: no affiliate links, anywhere. </div> </div> <style> .quick-summary { background-color: var(--color-clay-white, #FEFAE0); color: var(--color-dark-charcoal, #264653); border-left: 4px solid var(--color-sunset-gold, #F4A261); padding: 1.5rem; margin: 2rem 0; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; display: flex; gap: 1rem; align-items: flex-start; } .quick-summary-icon { font-size: 1.5rem; line-height: 1.2; flex-shrink: 0; color: var(--color-sunset-gold, #F4A261); } .quick-summary-content { flex: 1; } .quick-summary-content strong { color: inherit; } .quick-summary-content .glossary-term-link { color: inherit; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-color: var(--color-sunset-gold, #F4A261); text-underline-offset: 2px; font-weight: 600; } .quick-summary-content .glossary-term-link:hover { color: var(--color-sunset-gold, #F4A261); background-color: rgba(244, 162, 97, 0.1); } @media (max-width: 768px) { .quick-summary { flex-direction: column; gap: 0.5rem; } } @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { html[data-theme='dark'] .quick-summary { background-color: var(--color-dark-charcoal, #264653); color: var(--color-clay-white, #FEFAE0); } html[data-theme='dark'] .quick-summary-icon { color: var(--color-sunset-gold, #F4A261); } html[data-theme='dark'] .quick-summary-content .glossary-term-link:hover { color: var(--color-sunset-gold, #F4A261); background-color: rgba(244, 162, 97, 0.2); } } </style> <h2 id="the-email">The email</h2> <p>Last March, an email arrived from a relocation agency on the coast. Polite. Professional. The kind of email with a signature block, a calendar link, and a logo with a palm tree in it. The offer was simple: €150 for every reader I sent their way who signed a contract.</p>
