Credits and licenses

Last updated: October 2026

GoTravels uses photos, data and software made by other people and companies. This page says where they come from and under which license.

Photos

• Pexels and Pixabay: photos that are free to use under their own licenses. We still name the author next to the photo.
• Wikimedia Commons: each photo has its own author and license (CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC0 or public domain). We show them next to the photo, with a link to its page on Commons. Thumbnails have no room for a credit, so they only use photos that do not require one.
• Destination photos and the photos in the GoTravels blog posts are ours. Photos in community experiences belong to the people who post them.

If a photo is yours and the credit is wrong, or you do not want us to use it, write to us and we will fix it.

Places and maps

• Place data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL).
• Destination suggestions as you type come from Geoapify and LocationIQ.
• Maps on the website and in the app are drawn with Leaflet, and the map images are © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Exchange rates

The US dollar equivalent of the budget uses Rates By Exchange Rate API. It is approximate.

• React Native and React (MIT license)
• Expo and expo-image (MIT)
• Ionicons, the icons (MIT)
