Artsy Traveler Digital Travel Guides
Practical, beautifully designed guides from a traveler who’s actually been there.
I created these guides because I couldn’t find exactly what I needed: honest, detailed, arts-focused travel resources written by someone who has spent decades seeking arts and culture experiences wherever I travel. In one easy-to-read guide, you’ll find just the information you need to travel smarter and enjoy every minute of it.
Every guide is a PDF you can download, read on any device, and even print so you never need to worry about your phone battery running low. On every trip I take, I carry a manila folder stuffed with printed tickets, itineraries, and downloaded guides. Old-school, yes. Effective, absolutely.

Whether you’re planning a week in France or a month across Scandinavia, the workbook keeps everything in one place.

You have one day in a great city. You want to spend it in the best galleries, the most atmospheric neighborhoods, and the kind of café where locals actually eat. You don’t want to waste two hours reading conflicting TripAdvisor reviews.
That’s exactly what these guides are for.
Each Perfect Day guide gives you a carefully curated itinerary built around arts, culture, and the kind of experiences that make a city unforgettable. I’ve written my guides for independent travelers who care about quality over quantity, and who would rather linger in one extraordinary museum than rush through five okay ones.
A Perfect Day in Paris for Art Lovers
Paris rewards the traveler who knows where to look. This guide takes you beyond the obvious and into my favorite part of Paris for art lovers.
What’s inside:
- A full day itinerary built around the memorable artsy experiences in the city
- Where to eat, where to pause, and where best to spend your time
- Practical tips on timing, neighborhoods, and getting around
- Honest recommendations from someone who has spent considerable time getting lost (intentionally and otherwise) in Paris
Launch price: $3.99 each — Regular price $5.99. Available through May 31, 2026.
A Perfect Day in Copenhagen for Art Lovers
Copenhagen is one of Europe’s most livable, walkable, and visually appealing cities, and most visitors barely scratch the surface. This guide shows you where the art is, where the design is, and where to sample Smørrebrød so you’ll never want a conventional sandwich again.
What’s inside:
- A full day itinerary that balances world-class museums with neighborhood gems
- The design and architecture stops that make Copenhagen unlike anywhere else in Europe
- Where to eat and drink with a view
- Practical tips for making the most of a single day in the city
Launch price: $3.99 each — Regular price $5.99. Available through May 31, 2026.
