My destination guides now available through GPSmyCity

What are the key ingredients of happy Independent travelling? We all have different Interests and personalities. For me, it is important to strike the right balance between planning and leaving room for the unexpected. Pre-travel research helps me structure the basic frame of the trip. so that I feel safe and with a sense of direction. But I don’t want to be so tied to my plans that I miss out on the surprises a destination may have in store for me. This is where Travel article Apps come in.

The benefit of travel article apps

For independent travellers, quality travel article apps are one of the most Precious tools to make the most of any trip. Here are the main reaons I love them:

• They are packed with information. There are normally a number of articles on the same destination, from a number of authors, so you get a broad perspective.
• They are lightweight and easy to carry with you– unlike physical guidebooks!
• They are great for special interests. The beauty of pulling together the expertise of different writers is that you will also find some very ‘specialised’ guides. Do you love medieval history? Or do you travel to discover food markets? The chances of finding an article that makes your trip really unique, and right for you, are much higher!
• They help you keep your plans flexible. Did you want to go hiking but the weather has taken a turn for the worse? You can re-design your day even at the last minute, when the rain hits your roof!

Since late spring, I have discovered a new trusted companion, GPSmyCity. I have used their articles extensively during my travels through southwest France, and they have made my trip so easy!
