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.

The first thing to know is how do you want to make the journey. Ask yourself the kind of traveler you are. Whether you want to make a journey as a simple backpacker or you are looking into spending a lavish cruise, you will need a directional book for the place you are visiting. You can do further research on this online on which titles are the best.

Guides for backpackers for the most part have more suggestions on cheap food and accommodation. The more opulent traveler will need books that'll list five star lodgings and fine dining in the zone. A few guides are more particular for foodies and museum hoppers. If you are one of those, better get a more specific guide.

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.

Buy the one that will make travel easy - physically. You do not want to drag a bulky book with you when you travel. If you plan on exploring the place by foot, it is best to bring smaller guides or purchase one that can be viewed on your Smartphone. Big ones are best left at home or at the hotel.

Having guides on your Smartphone have their pros and cons. The major pro is that it is lightweight and easy to bring. This is best for young travelers. The cons include limits on battery life and Internet connection. For older travelers, this is not recommended because the small fonts will cause them to strain and be hassled during travel.

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.

Some can definitely be pricey but it will be worth the money if every page will be useful to your trip. After reading online for recommendations, browsing in bookstores will help too because not only will you know if the title is available locally, you can also check if the book has the right weight and font size for you.
