Set Your Goals
First of all, let’s specify what are your main goals and what are your expectations. Do you want to find yourself a good friend who will show you around his city? Or you need a person who knows the best local bars and clubs? Maybe you are looking for a travel partner or for a translator? Once you’ve established your goal, you can start looking through the profiles.The Face Says It All
Profile picture is the first thing you will notice while looking through the variety of TravelPapa Locals. A photo can say a lot about this person. Looking on this picture you can say if you will like this guy/girl and what he/she is like in the real life. But don’t forget that sometimes looks can be deceiving (especially on the web). That is why we recommend you to look on some other things before contacting a Local.
Do You Have Common Interests?
When you enter the Local’s public profile you can notice “Interests” tab. Here you can see what this person is interested in and what he can offer as a Local. If you are into history and if you want to have a local guide who can tell you some stories and legends, you better look for Locals who checked History & Culture, Arts & Museums and Sightseeing & Walking Tours in their profile. If you need some help arriving to unfamiliar country check out profiles with Translation & Interpretation checked. And if you prefer active leisure, search for the Locals interested in Health & Sports, Yoga & Meditation and Nature & Wildlife.
On TravelPapa.com you can find yourself a travel companion of any kind! To make it easier you can filter Locals by interests. Just use a dropdown menu “Interest(s)” on the search results page.
Check out Other Travelers’ Reviews
This is the most accurate way to see the quality of the Local’s work. Everyone who has been using his services has a chance to leave a review and to give a feedback on their experience with that person. More importantly, you can contact any traveler who have left a review and to ask their opinion about that Local.To see the reviews, go to the Local’s profile and click on the “Reviews” tab.
