I was wandering around Sao Paulo, Brazil in February before my tour started. On the way back to my hotel I came across a public dance session and couldn't stop myself from taking a photo. Everywhere in the country the people had something you can't quite put your finger on, but really wanted to understand... You could say that Brazilians have a lightness of being about them. This little moment epitomized it: how can life be a burden when you can dance away a Sunday afternoon?

good guide

good guide. (goo d-gahyd). noun.  

1. A source of information about good news, good people, good places, etc.

2. A blog with information and images about international points of interest, especially for travelers. 

3. A form of entertainment provided by sharing information about the delights, oddities and absurdities of being a world-wide tour guide. 

4. A repository of miscellaneous goodness for a world that could use reminding of how fabulous it is.

I currently work as an International Tour Leader. It's a fantastic job.

One of my goals when I am working is to help the people in my tour groups appreciate their very good luck in life, and to see what's new and unique and exciting about the places that we are traveling through. It never hurts to point out the positive.

So in a nutshell, the purpose of this site is to share all the good things I've come across while crossing continents.
