Hieverywhere.com - Find and Be a Volunteer Tour Guide

Every traveler knows the importance of exploring a new place with a local guide. Hi Everywhere! takes this concept to the next level by providing a forum for volunteer guides and travelers from all over the world to coordinate tours.

Visitors post an announcement with their available dates on the site, and if a guide is available at a corresponding time, they will book the request and schedule a meeting. After the tour, the participants have a chance to share the experience with readers in the form of a travel journal, complete with a description of the tour, photos, and an easy means to stay in contact.

Who doesn’t want a free local guide? If this concept takes off, and enough users choose to join and participate, Hi Everywhere! could be the next Couch Surfer.

At the moment, there are not a lot of registered users. For Hi Everywhere! to be a killer, it will need to breed a community, not just host a small number of people from obscure corners of the world. It also needs to promote reciprocity; even though the site claims that volunteer guides will “rediscover [their] home towns” by touring with foreigners, I doubt that this is enough of a force to sustain the community. Guides will have to believe they will receive a free tour in whichever city they visit as well.

“Hi Everywhere! is a volunteer tour guide exchange network that connects people from all over the world.
Hi Everywhere! aims at making trips exciting with local guides who enjoys hosting and having new friends. For travelers, a volunteer guide means not only a local perspective but also assistance when traveling; for local guides, touring with foreigners let you rediscover your home towns.”
