Hi Local Guides over the world!
I want to share my passion in Travel and helping the travellers as part of my job.
Everything we do in life is to fulfil a basic necessity of ours. To be more than what we already are. To include more and more into our experiences. More money, more friends, more happiness, more everything. We have always craved for everything that makes this life more than what it already is. Travel has always been a huge part of this desire. It offers abundant opportunity to raise us above who we are because it always has a lot to offer. It brings us exciting new experiences in terms of destinations, people, cultures, food and a variety of other things.
Being part of the travel field for a while now, I personally feel the travel scene has been affected by the same skew. The way we define real travel has now changed. The bias in our minds now is that real travel is difficult and is restricted only to a certain kind of people, mostly youngsters. Because that’s who we see the most on social media. That we need to give up on something and make the ultimate sacrifice to be a true traveller.
Since these experiences seem so out of reach, we automatically create a distance between us and them. This usually becomes our basis for concluding that, real travel is only for a few lucky ones and that we don’t have the capacity to reach where they have reached.
As wikipedia defines it, experiential travel is a form of tourism in which people focus on experiencing a country, city or particular place by connecting to its history, people and culture.
Going Experiential all the way!
If staying in a hotel is too boring for you and your buddies, then you can drive around the country in a fully equipped caravan. Or how about clubbing a trek in the Himalayas with a lunch at the house of a local in a Himalayan village?
If you already are an experiential traveller, spread the word. Introduce people to avenues that can make their travel experience richer. Everyone deserves to experience the best of the best.
Here comes the relevance of Google Listings for a traveller who needs the best experiences to find and how the stay will impact their travel. I have created few listings in Google which are home-stays and which provides best experiences and knowledge about the locations.
