Becoming an Experience Host
If working for someone else is not for you, and you are not quite ready to set up your own business, you can consider being an independent contractor. As a contractor, you work on behalf of another company that assigns you leads or even tours.

This is an excellent middle path to becoming a tour guide, allowing you to tunisia buy cell phone number list a little of what it’s like to be independent while still having the security of someone else finding customers for you.

You can take various routes to become an independent tour operator. One way is to become an Experience Host with Airbnb. As an Experience Host, you will guide guests on an activity that “goes beyond the typical tour or class.” I’ve done this before with a local in Peru, and it was pretty awesome to walk the streets of my host’s home town, tasting food from his favorite barbecue places and drinking at his local pub.

Being an Experience Host is an opportunity to craft a unique activity for your guests. You can take them surfing, teach them to make pizzas, show them how to build furniture, or even take them on a hiking excursion with rescue dogs.

You can also turn your cause into an “experience.” For example, if you are into environmental sustainability, why not guide people on a wilderness excursion, while highlighting to your guests the need for good stewardship and conservation efforts?
