In this episode, as in all episodes of Season 2, only one Yes Girl takes on the challenge while the other becomes the resident expert or "know-it-all"! For this episode, Akumu says yes to being an online tour guide i.e. becoming an expert on a certain place and bringing others along for the journey via what used to be HeyGo.com!

This is something Claire had been doing for a while and she was quite good at it! As an expert at hosting HeyGo Tours, she was great at giving some much-needed online tour guide tips!

For this challenge, Akumu had to prepare an informative script while Claire guided her and created the tour promo on her account. The wildcard addition to this challenge was the guest Yes Girl - Adhiambo Agoro (Instagram: @agoro_), who is a hiker, content creator, and all-around inspirational person.

Listen in as Akumu and Agoro share their concerns, anxieties, doubts and victories during this challenge where they did an epic Karura Forest tour with HeyGo. Also listen in for Claire's thoughts about the platform in general - how she started out on it, what she could do on it and with it.
