Where can we find gfs from many countries internationally online?

I'd like to find university students from various countries to act as travel guide in their home countries.

  • I would love to travel with native guides in various countries. My thought would be to provide travel expenses and gratuity to a university student, in exchange for a month of travel, so that I would be able to have an "inside" view and experience of a culture as well as provide travel for the student who might have not yet fully explored their own country. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

  • Answer:

    This is getting reasonably close to, and maybe going over the line of, breaking the laws of most countries. Most countries have laws to ensure that guides are licensed by the government. This is to protect tourists. If they get a guide licensed by the government (with appropriate ID/other credentials) the tourist can know they are not going to be taken to a quiet place, have a knife put to their throat and have their wallet/purse/other valuables stolen - or something even worse happen. How will you know that you are safe from someone that you find in this way? Laws tend to exist for a reason, if you choose to ignore the protection that they are aimed at providing then I do not think that this is very wise.

You should be aware of ghost guides in my country (Thailand). Ghost guides are people who pretend to be guides but that do not have a licence from the tourism authority. Normally they hang around outside tourist places and try to trap toursits into going with them. This is very dangerous as some bad thing can happen to the tourist. I think the same risk with your idea.
