Best Kept Travel Secrets free EBook for Charity

Last January I wrote an article called three best art – travel secrets for Florence that was part of an initiative by Katie from Tripbase. Bloggers tagged each other to contribute their secrets. Since Katie gathered so many great travel secrets, she’s taken this a step further and has produced not just one, but SEVEN professional travel e-books. And they are FREE to download!

Books are divided up into categories so that you don’t end up with tips on areas/things you don’t care for. So there’s a foodie guide, Italy guide, family travel tips, USA tips, one for beaches, and one for worldwide travel (which means everything else).

And this keeps getting better: for every free ebook downloaded, Tripbase will donate 1$ to Charity: Water. Just $20 can give one person in a developing nation clean drinking water for 20 years. Tripbase has already raised 2875$ of their 5000$ goal. Yup, this costs nothing to you, and you get a nice free book full of travel tips. What are you waiting for?
