Terms of Use

By using Plates & Places, you agree to these very basic terms.

1. Informational Purposes Only

This site is a personal archive. All content—including travel itineraries, restaurant recommendations, and recipes—is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only.

• Travel: Businesses close, train schedules change, and hiking trails get washed out. I do my best to provide accurate coordinates and advice based on my own experience, but you are responsible for verifying details (like visa requirements, opening hours, and safety conditions) before you travel.
• Food & Restaurants: Restaurant reviews are highly subjective and based solely on my personal experience at the time of my visit. Menus, prices, management, and quality change constantly. Please verify details directly with the establishment. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, always communicate directly with the restaurant staff. On the rare occasion I post a home-cooked recipe, please note I am not a registered dietitian or food safety expert.

I am not liable for any missed trains, closed restaurants, or lost luggage that occurs from following the information on this site.

2. Copyright and Content

Unless otherwise noted, all text, code, and images on this site are my own. Please do not scrape, steal, or republish my content or photography without explicit permission and clear attribution linking back to this site.

3. External Links

I frequently link to external websites (restaurants, booking platforms, Wikipedia, etc.). I have no control over the content or privacy practices of these external sites.
