The Location Independent Travel Guides

The Little LIP Travel Guides are different. They’re not your typical travel guide and are created and written especially for LIPs by LIPs…which means that the information they contain is the kind of information you’ll be looking for, shared by someone who has spent more than just 2-3 days hurriedly gathering info, like your average guidebook writer.

If you, like us, spend time researching your destinations before you go (is there suitable accommodation? What’s the internet access really like? Will it be easy to meet any locals?), the Little LIP Travel Guides could literally save you *hours* of research.

Each Little LIP Guide contains the following sections:

  • General information about entry/visa requirements, arrival & transport tips
  • Comments about internet access and availability.
  • Up to 5 recommended accommodation options suitable for LIPs.
  • Alternative on-location offices for doing business (e.g. internet cafes, office space etc.).
  • Online resources where you can find further information about the destination.
  • Local contacts (not available in all guides).

Questions & Answers

* Why are some guides cheaper than others?

The price of most guides is $10 - super duper value (if we do say so ourselves!) given the time, effort & expertise that goes into producing them and the hours and hours of time it will save you!

However some of the guides are slightly cheaper because, due to the nature of the destination, the authors haven't provided specific recommendations (such as accommodation or alternative offices) but have instead provided summary information and, where possible, links to the best online resources for you to source these yourself.

Who writes the guides?

Unlike many travel guides, each Little LIP Guide is written by either a local resident or somebody who has spent more than just a few days in the place. You can trust that the information provided in the Guides is not the standard stuff you'll find in other guides and contains information highly relevant and specific to location independent people.

I think I have what it takes to write a guide, what do I need to do?

We are always looking for new guides to be created for the fantastic LIP destinations out there. If you think you have what it takes to write a Little LIP Guide, please get in touch with us and let us know the following information:

  1. 1) Your Name
  2. 2) The destination you'd like to write about
  3. 3) The total time you've spent at the destination
  4. 4) Your #1 recommendation for LIP-friendly accommodation at the destination (this is to demonstrate that you're aware of the LIP-specific requirements vs. 'normal' travellers)

If you can provide the above, please do get in touch about the guide you'd like to write - we pay 50% sales commission for every sale of your authored guide.
