Hello folks, We're into the travel industry and working hard to simplify your travel problems as we could. We want to gather feedback from real users who travel a lot and face local transportation issues. After our recent successful solution of travel support (localites's #askAnything), now we're working and brainstorming on coming up with a simple solution to all of the international local transportation concerns, problems, issues. Our focus is to make it as simple as one can feel their own city in whichever city they go around the globe. So let us know what are the major problems you face with the international local transportation.

Being a global community (https://localites.co), we are constantly encouraging our members to keep sharing the ideas and local ways of avoiding harm to nature and our planet. As those are limited, we would like you to share your thoughts or ideas if we could bring a change with the help of technology to make people adopt ecotourism to keep our planet a safe and healthy place for our future generation. Do write in comments.

I don't like self-promotion, but I couldn't resist myself to share about the app we've developed and launched a few months back to help everyone (mostly who love to travel a lot and like meeting new people). I have traveled to many cities and countries while working remotely for a foreign organization. While traveling I have faced a lot of troubles of languages, cultural insults, local transportations, explore cities as localites do, and carrying a little fear while exploring hidden spots. There are platforms like Couch Surfing which connects with you local people, but they have limitations. With CS, you can ask for accommodation for 1-2-3 nights and ask for their inputs on what-to-explore. But sometimes (most of the time), you need more than that. You need someone who can travel with you and help you explore cities. Not only explore cities but get a localite's perspective while exploring. So then I figured out the solution: localites. It's an open global community for everyone to be a part of it and create their profile. The interesting thing about this is people can choose to charge some price while they're showing you around or some show for free. That way it's for both: one who wants to join and become a local guide and one is okay to become a part of the community and take around people to make friends. Additionally, you can update your hosting and pick-up availabilities as well and set prices if you want to. Here's the website link with screenshots, people who joined recently, and faq: https://localites.co I'd really like to hear your suggestions and feedback on the idea and this community. Thanks in advance.
