You will get a starter NYC travel map and written guide (solo or couples)
Project details
This project is a starter NYC travel map and guide. It is designed for solo travelers or couples who want a curated, walkable way to explore Manhattan neighborhoods without overplanning.
You'll receive a custom Google Maps guide focused on neighborhood-based exploration, with highly-rated food spots, cafes, bars, and sights-- plus light notes to help you understand the vibe and flow of each area.
This is NOT a full day-by-day itinerary. It is a flexible, map-driven guide that lets you wander confidently while still feeling oriented. Many clients can use this as a starting point and later expand it into a full itinerary or longer trip through my hourly travel planning services here on Upwork.

About Mel
Travel Itinerary Planner | Personalized Trip Research & Planning
Houston, United States - 3:53 am local time
I am a freelance worker who turns scattered ideas into a cohesive travel plan. I research neighborhoods, hotels, activities, restaurants, and logistics, then organize everything into a custom Google Map paired with a written guide designed to support your trip — not control it.
I prioritize flexible travel flow over rigid schedules. Instead of hour-by-hour time blocking, I focus on walkable routes, smart clustering, and daily structure that lets you move at your own pace.
I do NOT book travel on your behalf or act as a travel agent. Instead, I provide clear recommendations and structure so you can book confidently on your own.
What I can help with:
✓ Custom trip planning (best for 2–7 days)
✓ Hotel and neighborhood research
✓ Activity, dining, and nightlife recommendations
✓ Daily flow planning without strict scheduling
✓ Budget-conscious planning with flexible options
✓ Optional add-ons available upon request, including:
+ 48-hour pre-trip weather check-in (flat fee ~30 min)
+ Light daily scheduling (hourly rate)
+ Detailed time blocking (hourly rate)
If you want an intentional trip that feels organic and tailored to you — without the overwhelm — I’d be happy to help!
Cheers from a fellow travel lover,
Mel G. ✈️
