Product Description

Personalized Local Travel & Neighborhood Discovery Guide

For this barter, Alyssa Baynes will create a custom local travel itinerary based on your city, town, or neighborhood. Whether you’re new to an area or have lived there for years, this guide is designed to help you see familiar places with fresh eyes.

Each itinerary is thoughtfully curated to match your interests, schedule and comfort level. Guides may include scenic walking routes, underrated local spots, casual food recommendations, photo-worthy locations and flexible suggestions for short trips or weekend outings. Rather than rigid schedules, Alyssa’s guides emphasize easy travel planning and room for spontaneous discovery.

This service is ideal for individuals, couples, or families looking to explore nearby without the pressure of traditional travel planning. Optional themes — such as budget-friendly exploration, relaxed wandering, or creative inspiration — can be discussed during the consultation stage.
