Discount Travel Secret: Explore for Free! Self Guided Walking Tours Available Now
|
Discount Travel Secrets: Free Giveaway From GPSmyCity! Hi Reader, I have something really fun (and totally free) for you this week! I’m partnering with GPSmyCity, an app that lets you explore destinations around the world through self guided walking tours. It is perfect for anyone who wants the structure of a tour without being rushed, herded, or paying high prices for a guide. You just pick the city, choose a route, and explore at your own pace with turn by turn directions so you never get lost. And here’s the part I’m excited about… From now through November 23, ten of my itineraries are completely free inside the app! Here’s what you can download:
I wrote a blog post walking you through exactly how to get these guides inside the app. All you do is download GPSmyCity, search for the itineraries you want, and save them to your phone. 👉 Link to the full instructions here Since our newsletter theme is discount travel secrets, I want to point out why this is such a good deal. Even outside of this giveaway, self guided tours save so much money. 9 times out of 10, a guided tour will cost you more money than a self guided tour. It’s one of my favorite travel hacks because you still get the structure and storytelling of a planned route, but you can move at your own speed, take detours, grab snacks, skip stops that don’t interest you, and spend longer at the ones you love. And for the next few days, you can grab these ten itineraries for FREE and use them anytime in the future. Whether you have a trip coming up or just want to save them for later, now’s the time to grab them. Let me know which ones you download. I’d love to hear which city you’re planning to explore next! (by the way - I have over 80 itineraries on the app already if you want to check those out too) See you next week, Eva and JP 💎 P.S. Ready to plan your next trip?

Discount Travel Secrets: America250 is here! Hi Reader, I was planning to wait until the new year to talk about this, but since some celebrations are already starting, I figured why not get a head start? You’ve probably started to hear bits and pieces about America250, but if not, here’s the quick version: next year marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and there’s going to be a huge nationwide celebration leading up to July 4th, 2026. Funny enough,...
Discount Travel Secrets: Epic US Road Trips On A Budget Hi Reader, I’m so excited to share this week’s new post with you, our American Southwest Road Trip Itinerary! This one’s extra special because it was actually our honeymoon road trip over 5 years ago. We originally planned for four weeks on the road, but after three weeks, places started to close down and we had to head home early. Since then, we’ve revisited a lot of the destinations we missed, especially in Utah and Arizona, and...
