Why You Have To Pick The Right St John USVI Travel Guide

By Kathrine Franks


There was a time when only rich people afforded to travel for leisure. Now, because of low cost airlines, more and more people are blessed to travel and part of having a budget trip is buying a St John USVI travel guide. These guides, usually in book form are very useful in planning and during the actual trip itself. There are many to choose from even if you are just looking into going to a specific country. This writeup will help you make the right choice for the right guide.

Buy the guidebook that will supplement the kind of traveler you would like to be for this trip. Solicit the suggestions of your companions as well because the guide will serve more purpose if it will help the whole group or family. If you plan on backpacking across Asia, you will need a different guidebook to the tourist who will explore the museums of Europe.

Guides for backpackers usually have more cheap accommodation listed and a more specific map for traveling on foot. The more lavish explorer will need guides that will list five star hotels and fine dining in the area. Some guides are more specific like for foodies and cultural junkies. If you are more of this type, supplement your journey with the said guides.

Buy the guidebook that zeroes in on the location you will visit and the activities you will do there. A very general guide will only be similar to an encyclopedia. If you are visiting Philippine beaches for example, you need a guidebook about that instead of a bulky one about the whole country. In addition, buying more specific city guides will be cheaper with richer content.

Third is on what form you would like to have you travel guide. Because of technology, you can have your directional document on your smart phone. Hardcopies in bookstores are still available and can be as bulky and heavy as a hardbound book or it can be as thin and light as a prayer booklet.

Big ones contain the wealthiest data and more perfect to be read and checked on before embarking on the journey. You can bring it to the country or place you are traveling to if you have extra space but it is best to be left in the hotel. For more portability, some choose to download a guide in their Smart phones. There is a limit however on the font size, battery life and Internet accessibility - also on the safety because flashing your phone in public may attract thieves in some countries.

For course, you want to make sure that the guide is within you budget so the fourth tip is to note the price. You do not want to dent your budget for paper. After all, it is the experience you are after, not the book itself.

The guidebook's price can be justified if it helps make the trip easier, happier and richer for you and your companions. The bets ones are recommended online. It will also help if you will go to your local bookstore to check on titles. By holding the actual book, you can check if the content is right, the font size is big enough and it weighs just right for your travels.
