Myth Busting with Global Tour Guides

Myth Busting with Global Guides; Unemployment & Uncensored

Nerd out on history, culture, and food with guides from around the world.

The Travel Industry was completed smashed with COVID, bringing travel to a halt around the world.

Yet while tour operators and tourism boards are busy working out what they’ll do next, guides are left to sit in their houses, quarantined, their brains bursting with knowledge and clever anecdotes but no one to share them with.

Tune-in to help guides not lose their minds.

May 23 line-up:

Luis, Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Myth—All Mexican food is spicy.

Michael, Philadelphia, USA

Myth—Philadelphia is only important because it is the home of the Declaration of Independence.

Andrea, Madrid, Spain

Myth—Sangria is THE classic Spanish drink.

Nikki Padilla Rivera

After seeing tourists ‘do NYC wrong’, Nikki became a tour guide, helping people fall in love with her city for over 9 years.  For the past 5 years, Nikki was Guide Success Manager at Intrepid Urban Adventures ensuring the team of 1000+ tour guides gave amazing and consistent experiences.  More importantly, she was an advocate for the guides at the global level, making sure guides were engaged (and even in love with) the brand.

A community-junkie, Nikki is a co-founder of NextGenTravel, a networking group that fosters innovation in travel by bringing together a diverse group of people from across the industry.  Most recently, Nikki teamed up with two other guide trainers to start the Global Guide Alliance, a space for tour guides and museum guides across the world to create community and empower each other to grow professionally to keep the experience interesting & inspired (for both guests and guides)

ABOUT CAVEAT LIVESTREAMS:

Going crazy yet? Craving information, but starting to feel desperate to receive it in a non-depressing way? Worried about the state of art and intelligent discussion in the time of social distancing? We got you.

Your favorite nerdy basement bar now hosts livestreams 6 nights a week with extra-special online editions of our long-running shows. Medical advice without any bullsh*t! Wrestlemania-style debates over scientific principles (where you can chime in)! Political science with that ever-needed dash of showmanship! If it’s smart and it’s weird and it’s entertaining, you know we’re gonna give it to you.

It’s a strange time and it may only get stranger. Hopefully some good old fashioned intelligent nightlife can help get you through it – right from the safety of your home.

All ticket proceeds & PayPal contributions go toward paying Caveat’s staff during the shut-down, as well as paying the performers!
