How it's free
Free for travelers, supported by partners
GoPrepared stays free because we earn small commissions when you book useful travel services through our links — and from optional display ads. You never pay us directly.
Everything included
Free
Full briefs, PDF export, and destination guides — no paywall.
- Full destination overview
- Arrival, money & transport guides
- Culture, safety & packing sections
- Interactive area map
- Printable cheat sheet
- PDF download
Affiliate partners
When your brief recommends an eSIM, multi-currency card, hotel, tour, or travel gear, we may link to partners like Airalo, Wise, Booking.com, Viator, or Amazon. Commissions help cover AI and hosting costs.
Partner IDs are configured via environment variables — see README for setup.
Display ads
We may show unobtrusive ads in the brief sidebar and on select pages. Ad slots are disabled until you add Google AdSense credentials.
Set NEXT_PUBLIC_ADSENSE_CLIENT and slot IDs to enable.
Where links appear
- Brief → transport apps & cheat sheet — eSIM apps (Airalo) when mentioned alongside local transit apps.
