I have an exciting announcement to make! For the next two weeks, you can download three of my interactive travel guides completely free through GPSmyCity! Whether you’re dreaming of Paris, Charleston, or California’s stunning coast, these guides make exploring easier with offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation.
Giveaway Details with GPS My City
If you haven’t heard of GPSmyCity, they’re a travel app that allows you to explore new cities more conveniently. They transform travel articles into interactive walking guides with offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation. So instead of constantly switching between that great itinerary article you found and Google Maps (which can be super-inconvenient, especially in a foreign country), you can just follow the pre-built route directly in the app—even without an internet connection.
I recently partnered with GPSmyCity to transform 8 of my itinerary articles into interactive walking guides. To celebrate their launch, we’re giving away three of them completely free for a limited time!
Giveaway Dates: Monday, August 3, 2026-Monday, August 17, 2026

The Beautiful Ile de la Cité: A one-day walking guide to the medieval island in the center of Paris. Spend your day exploring the heart of the city, including Notre Dame, Saint-Chapelle, the Concierge, and Luxembourg Gardens!

Why Use a Travel Guide App
I love a good app that makes traveling easier. And travel guide apps take away a LOT of stress when I’m visiting somewhere new.
A good one (like GPSmyCity) comes with some great perks, like:
- Offline access so you don’t need a data connection
- GPS navigation for seamless step-by-step directions between attractions
- No need to juggle multiple browser tabs
- Saves battery and mobile data, which is especially helpful while traveling internationally
This makes them great for international travel, but I also love them for exploring new places around the USA.
Other Guides Available
Prefer reading online? You can explore the original articles here on Carried Away Travels. Want an easier way to follow the route while you’re exploring? Download the interactive GPSmyCity guides.
As I mentioned, I actually have 8 different guides available for download on GPSmyCity. So if you’re planning another trip, you might want to check out my guides for New York City, Charlottesville, Greenville, Tampa, and more of Paris.
Don’t miss your chance to grab these three guides for free! Download them between August 3 and August 17, then save them for your next adventure whenever you’re ready to travel.
