I love the writing style of this ebook. When on vacation our family likes to avoid the touristy stuff and get off the beaten path. Reading this book made me feel like I was talking to my best friend who knew all the local secrets, hidden away places and tourist spots worth exploring. I would highly recommend this ebook.
Kim Johnson

I learned about Erin's website and her ebook from the honest advice she regularly provides in the TripAdvisor forum about important topics like safety issues in Savannah. I appreciate that she isn't afraid to tell it like it is and is very clear about what you should and shouldn't do to keep safe when planning a trip. She doesn't sugar-coat things for the sake of promoting tourism and I find her honesty refreshing.
