My travel startup www.yourlocalcousin.com is part of the sharing economy. With locals in over 80 countries, travelers get customized advice from locals who share common interests at price points that are affordable. Our travelers give details about their trip such as budget, travel companions, their interests and travel style and get the "inside scoop" on where to find all the cool places locals love to visit and avoid the tourist traps. Also our service is designed for the busy professional who flies often and does not have the time to spend hours sifting info on travel review sites and guidebooks. We are the next best thing to speaking with a friend who lives in the city you are visiting.
We even vet all our locals over Skype to get to know they're legit and also to tell them how we work.
So the big question is would you pay for this kind of customization? Thanks
