In retrospect I think being in the travel industry and always being sought out for advice, this just fell into place when I logged in as a local guide. With the digital age where information is at your fingertips …read Google ? you think people will just take a call for booking their travel and tours. But if they know someone who can give them advise, they will definitely ask !! That human touch or reassurance is still important for some people.
I still get calls from experienced wanderbugs on food, location and what to do …like a trivia for the place. And I realise that I enjoy imparting information. I have travelled extensively and am still travelling. Also I feel, as a woman, there are certain things that are more important to us. Does my hotel room door have a safety latch and safe deposit box, is there a tea coffee machine, is there a hair dryer, is there a supermarket nearby, any breakfast options, airport transfers options,trolley in the hotel for taking my luggage to my room etc. These are important.
Safety and security are on top of the list for me. When I review anything …its more on these guidelines. So, to sum up, I thought this platform was ideal and I started writing and have been doing so …
