If you’ve ever wished you could explore a new city the way a travel blogger does — following intriguing side streets, wandering into neighbourhood cafés, or discovering spots locals actually love — this launch is for you.
Some of my most-read guides are now available as GPSmyCity travel article apps, and to celebrate, they’re free for two weeks.
These aren’t generic tourist routes. They’re my personal walking itineraries, shaped by years of slow travel, curiosity, and the willingness to lose myself in a new city.
What’s Going Free for a Limited Time
Starting, Monday, November 24, 2025, you’ll be able to unlock the full versions of the following guides FREE for a period of 2 weeks:
- 7 Days in Tokyo: First Timer Itinerary — A curated week-long route that blends Tokyo’s iconic spots with local gems — from cafés tucked inside bookshops to neighbourhoods many travellers overlook on their first visit.
- Akihabara: A Geek’s Guide to Tokyo’s Tech Wonderland — A walking route through the heart of tech culture. Yes, you’ll see the famous arcades, but also the retro corners, niche hobby shops, and hidden floors that most visitors miss.
- The Best Hot Chocolate in Vancouver —A warm, winter-ready trail through the city’s most comforting cafés. This guide highlights small-batch chocolate makers, independent roasters, and a few places only regulars seem to know.
Why GPSmyCity Is Worth Trying
One of the biggest challenges while travelling is figuring out where to go — and how to explore without constantly checking maps or juggling different apps. GPSmyCity solves that by combining travel articles with offline navigation, allowing you to wander confidently while still staying present.
Why these walking tours work so well
- You can explore neighbourhoods exactly the way I do — on foot, slowly, with room for curiosity.
- Offline GPS means you don’t need data or Wi-Fi, which is especially helpful in countries where roaming gets pricey.
- The routes are handpicked, not algorithm-generated or overly commercial. They reflect the way I naturally move through a city: looking for cafés, markets, culture, and the stories in between.
- You’ll see a mix of popular highlights and places that rarely make it into mainstream travel guides.
- It’s an easy way to reduce trip-planning overwhelm while still having a flexible, local-feeling experience.
What the apps include
- Offline Maps
Navigate without Wi-Fi or data, anywhere in the city. - Turn-by-Turn Walking Navigation
Stay on route with clear, simple directions. - Full Access to My Travel Articles
Read the complete guide inside the app while you explore. - Pre-Structured Walking Routes

Experience cities the way locals do: slowly, thoughtfully, and without stress.
For travellers who prefer to wander, get lost (but not too lost), and learn about a city through the sensory details — cafés, alleyways, independent shops, unexpected viewpoints — this platform fits perfectly.
