You know the drill: At the end of each of my travel guides, you will find a map on which you can see the location of all the featured landmarks, eateries, train stations, in short, all relevant places. This way, you can orient yourself quickly and easily during your own visit.
So far, so good.

I have been creating these maps for you for years.
But it wasn’t until recently that it came to mind that I could create a map on Google My Maps ahead of a trip to optimize my travel planning.
This way, I have my itinerary clearly arranged and with all the information in one place.
My personal little travel guide in my pocket – literally.
In this post, I’m introducing the basics of Google My Maps and getting into detail about how you can personalize it and use it exactly the way it suits you best.

One of the main reasons for starting a travel blog was the constant questions about how I plan, organize, and execute my many travels – especially since I’m a woman, and I’m going solo. Well, countless solo trips as a flashpacker and poverty jetsetter made me an enthusiastic and experienced planner and organizer of worldwide travel. And since I’ve worked as an author and journalist practically my entire life, it made sense to share my travel experiences and thus encourage, inspire, guide, and support others with my tips and hacks.
One of the basic tools for successfully planning a trip is comprehensive information, obviously. Therefore, I’ve compiled links to create the World’s Most Complete Travel Information. And because you can find them all in my clearly structured list, you can just skip the tedious and time-consuming task of searching for all the relevant details online from scratch.

In this one-stop shop, you’ll find essential information on entry requirements and required documents, practical tips on flight and hotel bookings, and extra information that may not be essential but will definitely make travelling more pleasant and enjoyable. Just click through the pages and let me know what you think—and what you might still be missing.
Either way, I wish you great travels and look forward to meeting you somewhere on this planet!

Although I’m not a true digital nomad but have a base in northern Germany, I’ve done my part in planning and organizing worldwide travel. Having arranged probably hundreds of trips – from weekend getaways to week-long road trips – I’d argue that few people know better than me how to plan a trip from scratch. Planning from step one has become second nature to me.

And in fact, helping others plan their travels was one of the main reasons I started writing this blog—always true to the motto If I can, you can do it, too.
