It is Min Soe. I have been working as a freelance tour guide in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) since 2011. Exploring Myanmar is quite unlike any other places you know before. Over 80% of Myanmar is Buddhist. The hospitality and generosity are dominating traits of Myanmar character. Myanmar people are very contented and cheerful even in the face of adversities. This is a nation with a great diversity in landscape, sights, ethnic races and boasts colorful festivals round the year. So please don't hesitate to visit the extraordinary land, scattered with gilded pagodas. That is the reason why I enjoy being a tour guide. I am proud to show you everything that make Myanmar so amazing and unique. I am qualified and eager to inform you the wonders of my country. I am young, active and healthy. My smart appearance, pleasant manner, pleasant voice and positive outlook are some of the qualities that make me a good guide. You will never regret if you travel with me! I can promise you that you will bring home pleasant memories of your holidays from this golden land, Myanmar. You are always safe with me and warmly welcomed to Myanmar. I have successfully completed Tour Guide Training course which was conducted by Tourism Training School under the auspices of the Myanmar Ministry of Hotels and Tourism in 2011. Moreover, I specialized Myanmar Cultural, History, Literature and Art in the Yangon University. I conducted a Liaison Officer Training Course which was conducted by the Ministry of Sport.
