Planning a trip to Maui, Hawaii? Most travel guides are written by experts, people who have traveled to a destination again or again. Or they’re written by a resident – someone who lives there. They’re written by people who have been everywhere and done everything! So why would you want to read a guide by a first time traveler? Simple. Because you’re a first time traveler.
Why read a guide by someone who’s only gone once?
Because some of the best things to do on a vacation are only interesting the first – or the fifth – time you do them. When you’ve done them a dozen times, they’re no longer interesting. The expert travel guides downplay them, or even forget to mention them entirely.
Other times the experts know too many details, and try to accommodate every possibility. The amount of information can be confusing and over-whelming.
Because sometimes your first trip to a new destination is the most magical.
If you plan it right.
