Welcome to Surviving Tourism! I am a Canadian/Brazilian tour guide who has worked in Western Canada and Europe (wow that is super confusing) for the past three years. I was bored during the pandemic and decided to call my friends in the tourism industry to share some of the weird/crazy/funny stories we've acquired while on the job and damn....they are entertaining. So why not share it with everyone?! Every episode I chat with a different survivor of the industry and laugh about all the #%@! we have to go through. Enjoy this season and find out what it takes to survive tourism!
On the very first episode of Surviving Tourism I am joined by fellow Canadian tour guide codenamed: Regina Phalange, as we share stories from our training trip while working in Europe. Be prepared for a disgusting... but pretty funny episode you won't forget!
