A guide template for creators, not just a trip schedule
A travel itinerary lists what happens each day. A guide you plan to sell also needs a clear audience, checked facts, access instructions and an update policy. This worksheet gives you space for all of them.
Choose one destination you know well. Build the outline, replace the bracketed prompts and edit it into your own voice. The tool does not research places, verify hours or generate recommendations.
What is included
- A cover brief with audience, pace, author and review date.
- A before-you-go section for transport, reservations and access needs.
- Daily morning, afternoon and evening plans, with a rain alternative.
- A budget table with currency, review dates and sources.
- A buyer checklist for formats, map access, license, support and updates.
How to turn the worksheet into a finished PDF
- Download the text and paste it into Google Docs, Word or your preferred editor.
- Add your original recommendations and images you have permission to use. Replace every bracketed prompt.
- Check opening hours, prices and routes against the venue or transport operator. Record the review date and source.
- Export a PDF and inspect it on a phone. Test links and show one readable sample day on your product page.
For a plain printable worksheet, download the HTML version and open your browser's Print menu to save it as a PDF. This is a text worksheet, not a Canva design or a verified destination guide.
Can I use this in a guide I sell?
Yes. You may edit the generated worksheet and use it in a free or paid guide. You do not need to credit Aksara. You remain responsible for the accuracy and rights to the content you add.
Bloggers may link readers to this free builder, reproduce the blank checklist or use their own worksheet screenshots. A source link is appreciated and optional. Get the blogger resource kit.
