When we travel, we get to choose our own experience. Some choose to watch the world from the outside, as a voyeur, never really taking part. And then, there's another type of traveler -- the kind who seeks to embrace the world and live a truly authentic experience. We created GLYD around one very simple idea -- if you want to really experience another place, the best way to do it is with someone who lives there. GLYD helps connect you with local travel guides (GLYDrs) who will create curated local itineraries for you based on your personal interests. And when you arrive, they will be there to meet you and lead the way. It's like having the most interesting friends in every city, all around the world. If you're the kind of traveler who always loves to seek out the best places to eat, the most exciting places to go, the "secret spots," then GLYD can help you find them. So, you can feel at home when you roam. ********************** Go Global . Be Local ********************** If you are a LOCAL or a TOUR GUIDE, expand your reach to show off your city through pictures and build itineraries out of them when travelers come from out of town and did I mention you can make $10 for each one you make? Want to earn more? Simply unlock your GOLD badge, and you can start GLYDr Experiences to make more money for showing someone around personally! ********************** If you are a TRAVELER, well GLYD is here to make your travels a whole lot easier! Drop the planning, researching, pulling out your hair and let a local who actually lives at your destination help. Get the inspiration to travel via our Explore screen, filter down your location and interests and browse through pictures and once you find a GLYDr who has lots in common with you, well, send out a Digital Itinerary request or if you want them to show you around personally, just hire them to show you their local spots! ********************** Discover more @ open.glyd.co Download on the App Store or Google Play
