Are you sick and tired of “Top 10” lists that don’t really help you make decisions that will improve your life? That’s a pet peeve of mine, too, and I’m doing something about it.

No more crap about the myriad of choices out there. Just the best choice. The right choice. The one fill-in-the-blank that rules them all. And all of them are vetted by us… through personal use and experience. These are the tools, the gadgets, the apps, the websites and the lifehacks that we use every day. No bull$&!t. Just good advice for better living.

Travel Novice is designed to help you by connecting you with fellow travelers who have been there. We don’t try to be everything to everyone, we simply share our own practical experience.

You can take our real itineraries and use them as you see fit. They are what we used. Will they work for everyone? No, but you’ll likely learn a lot of great tips that you might not pick up from the guidebooks and big travel sites. That’s what Travel Novice is all about… real travelers sharing their real experiences.
