We know that it is not the same to travel alone than when you do it with your family. When you travel by yourself, missing a bus, a train or even a plane is a big problem but when you are traveling with your wife and kids the trouble gets bigger. The same applies if you go to tourist traps or unsafe places, your dreamed vacations can have a not so happy ending. That’s the importance of the Local Guides program. It allows us to know locals that know where are the safest places, where to stay, where to eat and where to go. It is almost like having a best friend in each city/place that we visit. Thanks to the program, we can be sure of what we are going to find exactly at each place we visit to avoid inconvenient surprises.
I really appreciate pieces of advice from parents since definitely there are places that are not suit for little children. Having this knowledge beforehand is key since the vacation time is limited and we cannot afford wasting this time in places that not all the familiy members will enjoy. That’s the beauty of the Local Guides program and also that’s the reason I also feel responsible for making it grow better and bigger. Again, Local Guides is a great tool not only for those travelling for themselves or with some friends but it is a key component when you plan to bring your whole family in your vacations.
