I’m excited to share a new way to take my travel guides with you on the go. Ten of my most popular articles are now available as GPS-guided apps through GPSmyCity, which turns travel articles into easy, map-based walking guides you can use offline. Whether you’re planning ahead or already wandering the streets of a new city, the guides keep every stop, detail, and route right in your pocket.

To celebrate the launch, I’m giving away full upgraded access to three of my guides for two weeks, completely free.

Free app upgrades available from: DECEMBER 8 – 21

The following guides from Vacation Script will be included in the giveaway:

  • How to Explore the Best of Port Royal
  • The Best of Northern Savannah
  • 6 Things to See in London for Free

During the giveaway period, you can download any of these guides in the GPSmyCity app and unlock the full version at no cost. After the two-week window, the guides will remain available in the app as usual, but the free upgrade will no longer apply.

How the App Works

GPSmyCity converts travel articles into app-based guides with offline maps, turn-by-turn direction prompts, and pin-based locations for every place mentioned in the articles. Once you download a guide, you don’t need Wi-Fi or data, which is very helpful when you’re navigating overseas or in an area with spotty coverage (like in between buildings).

Each article remains exactly as published on Vacation Script, with the added convenience of integrated mapping.


How to Access Your Free Guides

  1. Download the GPSmyCity app on iOS or Android.
  2. Search for the guide title or my author page (Vacation Script).
  3. Tap Upgrade—the cost will show as FREE during the giveaway window.
  4. Save the guide to your device and use it anytime, online or offline.
