What is the point of this (or anything, really?)

We live in a day and age where people travel more than ever before. Whether it is for leisure, business, creating new experiences or simply visiting friends and family across all corners of the globe, there have never been more people travelling than at this moment in time.

Like most people, I tend to travel, too. Most of the times, I enjoy it as well. Those of you who know me, you’ll also know that I like to plan.

Therefore, before I visit or revisit places, I plan, incessantly. This planning mostly manifests itself in the form of custom-made online maps. Why maps? Because data roaming is, thankfully, affordable (or even free), because people carry digital devices more often than printed material on them, and because in a city they are the single most useful tool to find your bearings.

If you, like me, visit a city and want to experience it like a local, through the culture, the food, the drinks, the cafes, the nightlife, the shopping and everything inbetween, then these maps are for you. Think of them as a friend’s recommendations on where to go and what to do, to see the best that a city has to offer. Beyond the sightseeing, the tourist hordes and the traps.

Give it a go.
